Za odločanje v tej zadevi se določi Okrožno sodišče v B.

[JEDRO]

Situacija, v kateri je ena od strank sodnik pristojnega sodišča, lahko predstavlja razlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča, da postopa v pravdni zadevi.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Okrožno sodišče A. je predlagalo določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča, ker je toženec ..., pri katerem je bila vložena tožba, ta okoliščina pa bi lahko pri nasprotni stranki povzročila dvome v objektivnost sojenja.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Vrhovno sodišče lahko tudi na predlog pristojnega sodišča določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, da postopa v zadevi, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže opravil postopek, ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi. "Drug tehten razlog" lahko predstavlja tudi možnost dvoma, ki bi omajal zaupanje strank v odločanje sodišča (zahteva po objektivni nepristranskosti sodišča). Situacija, v kateri je ena od strank sodnik pristojnega sodišča, zato nedvomno predstavlja razlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča, da postopa v pravdni zadevi.
