The Supreme Court designated the District Court in Kamnik to handle the case, transferring it from Domžalah. The plaintiff and the original court argued that the defendant's kinship with the presiding judge created an objective lack of impartiality. The court ruled that such a familial relationship qualifies as a weighty reason under Article 67 of the Civil Procedure Act, justifying the transfer to ensure public trust.

Za odločanje v tej zadevi se določi Okrajno sodišče v Kamniku.

[JEDRO]

Sorodstveno razmerje stranke v postopku in sodnika pristojnega sodišča lahko predstavlja "drug tehten razlog" v smislu določb 67. člena ZPP.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Okrajno sodišče v Domžalah in tožeča stranka sta predlagala določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča, da postopa v zadevi, ker je toženec zakonec okrajne sodnice A. A., ki sodi na Okrajnem sodišču v Domžalah.

2. Predlog je utemeljen.

3. Vrhovno sodišče lahko na predlog stranke ali pristojnega sodišča določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, da postopa v zadevi, če je očitno, da se bo tako lažje opravil postopek, ali če so zato drugi tehtni razlogi (67. člen Zakona o pravdnem postopku - ZPP). "Drug tehten razlog" v smislu navedenih zakonskih določb je lahko tudi zahteva po objektivni nepristranskosti sodišča, ki se izraža v odstranitvi okoliščin, ki bi lahko omajale zaupanje strank v odločanje sodišča. Takšno okoliščino lahko predstavlja tudi sorodstveno razmerje stranke v postopku in sodnice (sodnika) pristojnega sodišča.
