The Supreme Court of Slovenia transferred the case to the Basic Court in Maribor because the defendant was a juror there. The plaintiff argued this arrangement would hinder fair proceedings due to the defendant's familiarity with local judges. The court agreed, ruling that the defendant's role as a juror constituted a significant reason to designate a different competent court.
