Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court rejected the applicant's request to transfer the case to another competent court. The applicant argued that a sibling relationship between their representative and the High Court judge constituted a valid reason for delegation under Article 68 of the Civil Procedure Act. The court held that this familial tie only triggered disqualification under Article 71, which does not justify transferring the proceedings to a different court.

Predlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča se zavrne.

[JEDRO]

Sorodstveno razmerje med zastopnikom stranke in sodnikom Višjega sodišča je izločitveni razlog ne pa "drug tehten razlog", ki bi opravičeval delegacijo.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Z vlogo z dne 31.7.1992 je tožeča stranka predlagala, da naj se v tej pravdni zadevi za obravnavo in odločanje določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče. Predlog je utemeljila s trditvijo, da je direktor tožeče stranke bratranec sodnika Višjega sodišča v ...

Predlog ni utemeljen.

Razlog, ki ga navaja tožeča stranka v predlogu za delegacijo, ni "drug tehten razlog" iz 68. člena ZPP, ki bi opravičeval, da se predlogu za delegacijo ugodi. V predlogu zatrjevano sorodstveno razmerje med zastopnikom tožeče stranke in sodnikom Višjega sodišča v ... predstavlja namreč le izločitveni razlog v smislu določbe 71. člena ZPP ne pa "drugega tehtnega razloga" v smislu določbe 68. člena ZPP, ki bi imel za posledico prenos obravnavanja te pravdne zadeve na drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče. Zato je Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije predlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča kot neutemeljen zavrnilo.
