Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia rejected the plaintiff's request to recuse the presiding judge and transfer jurisdiction to another court. The plaintiff alleged bias based on observed friendly interactions between the judge and the defendant's lawyer, but the prior rejection of the recusal request already established sufficient objective impartiality. Consequently, the court found no weighty grounds under Article 67 of the Act on Civil Procedure Law to transfer the case.

Legislator headnote

Article 67 of the Act on Civil Procedure Law; A request for transfer of jurisdiction to another court is only justified if there is a justified doubt regarding the objective impartiality of the judges, which was absent here as the prior recusal request was already rejected.

Predlog se zavrne.

[JEDRO]

Tožnica je istočasno predlagala izločitev predsednice sodišča in določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča. Predlog za izločitev predsednice sodišča je bil zavrnjen in že zato ni podan utemeljen dvom v objektivno nepristranskost sodnikov.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Tožnica je predlagala izločitev sodnice J. K. in "prenos krajevne pristojnosti", ker je sodnica J. K. predsednica Okrajnega sodišča v ... in "ima tako vpliv tudi na ostale sodnike". Na obravnavi dne 14.9.2006 naj bi tožnica opazila, da se sodnica in pooblaščenec toženca odvetnik I. Š. prijazno pogovarjata in pri tem do tožnice obnašata, kot da je ni.

2.Zahteva za izločitev sodnice je bila zavrnjena.

3.Predlog ni utemeljen.

4.V skladu s 67. členom Zakona o pravdnem postopku lahko vrhovno sodišče na predlog stranke določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, da postopa v zadevi, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže opravil postopek, ali če so zato drugi tehtni razlogi. Tehten razlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča bi bil lahko podan, če bi nastal utemeljen dvom v objektivno nepristranskost sodnikov litijskega sodišča. Takšen dvom v konkretnem primeru ni podan že zaradi prepričljivih razlogov sklepa s katerim je bila zavrnjena zahteva za izločitev sodnice A. A. (sklep predsednika Višjega sodišča v Ljubljani Su 88/2006-28 z dne 13.11.2006).
