Legislator summary

AI generated

The appellate court granted the appeal against a first-instance decision rejecting an objection to a court fee order. The appellant argued that the ruling rejecting their objection was erroneously served to the opposing party instead of themselves, meaning the ruling was not yet legally effective. Consequently, the court vacated the flawed decision and remanded the case to the lower court to properly serve the ruling and continue the proceedings.

VSL Sklep I Cp 702/2019
Appeal dismissed because late court fee payment via third party does not extend the filing deadline.
VSL sklep I Cp 1403/2011
Appeal dismissed; failure to pay court fee without approved waiver results in withdrawal of appeal under ZPP.
VSL sklep I Cpg 1601/2015
Appeal dismissed because plaintiff failed to pay court fees and did not properly supplement installment payment request.
VSL sklep II Cpg 1263/2015
Appeal dismissed; court upheld first instance ruling that withdrawal of appeal was valid due to unpaid court fees. The appeal was rejected because the defendant failed to pay court fees within the deadline, and the court correctly deemed the appeal notice withdrawn. The court rejected the defendant's attempt to overturn the presumption of service based on the delivery certificate, as such presumptions cannot be easily rebutted without substantial evidence. The decision emphasizes that procedural deadlines for fee payment are strict and that the burden of proof lies with the party claiming non-service. The court ruled that the first instance court acted correctly in finding the appeal notice withdrawn due to non-payment. The appeal was dismissed because the defendant could not provide sufficient evidence to challenge the validity of the service notice. The court held that the presumption of service via delivery certificate stands unless strongly contradicted by evidence. The defendant's claim of non-service was rejected due to lack of specific factual arguments and supporting documentation. The court confirmed that the first instance court's decision to treat the appeal as withdrawn was legally sound. The appeal was dismissed because the defendant failed to meet the statutory requirements for challenging the service of the appeal notice.
VSL Sklep II Cp 2324/2017
Appeal dismissed because appellant failed to pay court fees, rendering the appeal withdrawn under ZPP provisions.

I. Pritožbi se ugodi, sklep se razveljavi in zadeva vrne sodišču prve stopnje v nov postopek.

II. Odločitev o pritožbenih stroških se pridrži za končno odločbo.

[JEDRO]

Kot izhaja iz podatkov v spisu je sodišče prve stopnje nalog za plačilo sodne takse po tar. št. 3/1 ZST-1 v znesku 854,18 EUR vročilo toženi stranki 25. 1. 2011, ta pa je pravočasno vložila ugovor zoper plačilni nalog. Sodišče prve stopnje je ugovor tožene stranke s sklepom z dne 5.4.2011 zavrnilo, vendar ga je pomotoma vročilo tožeči stranki. Sklep o zavrnitvi ugovora zoper plačilni nalog torej še ni pravnomočen, zato pogoji za nastop posledic iz tretjega odstavka 105.a člena ZPP niso izpolnjeni.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Z izpodbijanim sklepom je sodišče prve stopnje ugotovilo, da je pritožba tožene stranke zoper sodbo opr. št. I P 650/2005 z dne 3.12.2009, vložena dne 31.3.2010, umaknjena.

2. Proti navedenemu sklepu se pravočasno pritožuje tožena stranka, ki navaja, da ji je sodišče poslalo plačilni nalog za plačilo sodne takse, zoper katerega je podala pravočasen ugovor, ki je bil s sklepom sodišča z dne 5.4.2011 zavrnjen. Sklepa o ugovoru z dne 5.4.2011 tožena stranka ni prejela, ker ga je sodišče pomotoma poslalo tožeči stranki. Predlaga, da se ji sklep o ugovoru vroči in še navaja, da rok za plačilo sodne takse še ni potekel in je preuranjen sklep sodišča, da se šteje pritožba tožene stranke zoper sodbo I P 650/2005 z dne 3.12.2009 za umaknjeno.

3. Pritožba je utemeljena.

4. Kot izhaja iz podatkov v spisu je sodišče prve stopnje nalog za plačilo sodne takse I P 650/2005 z dne 21.1.2011 (red. št. 82) za plačilo sodne takse po tar. št. 3/1 ZST-1 v znesku 854,18 EUR vročilo toženi stranki 25. 1. 2011, ta pa je pravočasno (27. 1. 2011) vložila ugovor zoper plačilni nalog. Sodišče prve stopnje je ugovor tožene stranke s sklepom z dne 5.4.2011 zavrnilo, vendar ga je pomotoma vročilo tožeči stranki (vročilnica pri list. št. 206). Sklep o zavrnitvi ugovora zoper plačilni nalog torej še ni pravnomočen, zato pogoji za nastop posledic iz tretjega odstavka 105.a člena ZPP niso izpolnjeni.

5. Zaradi navedenih razlogov je višje sodišče pritožbi tožene stranke ugodilo, sklep razveljavilo in zadevo vrnilo sodišču prve stopnje v nov postopek (3. točka 365. člena ZPP v zvezi s 15. členom ZIZ), v katerem naj sodišče prve stopnje sklep z dne 5.4.2011 najprej vroči toženi stranki in potem s postopkom nadaljuje v odvisnosti od procesnih dejanj tožene stranke.

6.Izrek o stroških temelji na tretjem odstavku 165. člena ZPP.
