Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia assigned jurisdiction over an appeal to the High Court in Celju rather than the High Court in Ljubljani. The appellant had appealed a decision by the Basic Court in Ljubljani, which was originally intended for the Ljubljani High Court. The Supreme Court ruled that because the judges of the Ljubljani High Court were also plaintiffs in the underlying case, they had a conflict of interest, necessitating a transfer to the Celju High Court.

Za odločanje na drugi stopnji se določi kot pristojno sodišče Višje sodišče v Celju.

[JEDRO]

Določitev drugega pristojnega sodišča za odločanje na drugi stopnji.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

S sklepom Temeljnega sodišča v Ljubljani, enote v Ljubljani z dne 30.3.1992 se šteje za umaknjeno tožba, ki jo je tožeča stranka proti toženi stranki vložila dne 15.10.1991. Proti temu sklepu je tožeča stranka vložila pritožbo, o kateri bi moralo odločiti Višje sodišče v Ljubljani. To sodišče pa je predlagalo, da Vrhovno sodišče določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče za odločanje o pritožbi, ker so toženci sodniki Višjega sodišča v Ljubljani.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po 68. členu zakona o pravdnem postopku lahko Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije kot najvišje redno sodišče v državi določi, naj postopa v posamezni zadevi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče z njegovega območja, če je očitno, da se bo tako lažje opravil postopek, ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi. Okoliščina, da so toženci sodniki Višjega sodišča v Ljubljani, ki bi moralo odločati o pritožbi tožeče stranke, predstavlja razlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča. Zato je Vrhovno sodišče predlogu ugodilo.

Določba zakona o pravdnem postopku, na kateri temelji odločitev vrhovnega sodišča, je uporabljena na podlagi 1. odstavka 4. člena ustavnega zakona za izvedbo temeljne ustavne listine o samostojnosti in neodvisnosti Republike Slovenije (Uradni list RS, št. 1/91-I).
