The Court of Appeal overturned the first instance decision that had dismissed the lawsuit on grounds of non-payment of court fees. The plaintiffs argued they had timely paid the required fee, providing transaction notifications and tax authority records as proof. The court found the first instance fact-finding erroneous because the payment records confirmed the fee was indeed paid on December 19, 2019.

Pritožbi se ugodi in se sklep sodišča prve stopnje razveljavi.

[JEDRO]

Sodišče prve stopnje je napačno ugotovilo dejansko stanje, saj drži, kar navajata pritožnika, namreč da je bila sodna taksa za tožbo plačana.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Sodišče prve stopnje je z izpodbijanim sklepom ustavilo pravdni postopek, ker naj tožnika v podeljenem 15 dnevnem roku po pozivi z dne 14. 1. 2020 ne bi plačala sodne takse za tožbo.

2. Proti temu sklepu se tožnika pritožujeta in predlagata, da ga pritožbeno sodišče razveljavi. Navajata, da sta takso za tožbo pravočasno plačala (19. 12. 2019), kar tudi dokazujeta.

3. Pritožba je utemeljena.

4. Sodišče prve stopnje je napačno ugotovilo dejansko stanje, saj drži, kar navajata pritožnika, namreč da je bila sodna taksa za tožbo v znesku 873 EUR plačana 19. 12. 2019 na račun pristojnega sodišča z ustreznim sklicem, kar izhaja iz pritožbi priloženega obvestila o podrobnosti transakcije ... in tudi izpiska UJPnet MF Uprava RS za javna plačila.

5. Pritožbi je bilo zato treba ugoditi, izpodbijan sklep razveljaviti (3. tč. 365. čl. ZPP).
