[JEDRO]

Revizija se dopusti glede vprašanja ali iz dikcije tretjega odstavka 263. člena ZGD-1 izhaja, da je odškodninska odgovornost člana uprave za škodo, ki je nastala družbi zaradi določenega posla, izključena, če sta po sklenitvi tega posla nadzorni svet in/ali skupščina družbe odobrila ta posel.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Sodišče druge stopnje je v delu, ki je relevanten za odločanje o predlogu za dopustitev revizije, pritožbo zavrnilo in potrdilo sodbo sodišča prve stopnje, s katero je to zavrnilo tožbeni zahtevek tožeče stranke zoper toženo stranko iz naslova odškodninske odgovornosti po 263. členu ZGD-1 glede odpisa dolga družbi A., d. o. o. z dne 15. 7. 2010.

2. Zoper sodbo sodišča druge stopnje vlaga tožeča stranka predlog za dopustitev revizije.

3. Vrhovno sodišče ugotavlja, da so izpolnjeni pogoji za dopustitev revizije iz prvega odstavka 367.a člena Zakona o pravdnem postopku (ZPP) glede vprašanja, opredeljenega v izreku sklepa. Revizijo je zato v tem obsegu dopustilo.

4. Sklep je bil sprejet soglasno (sedmi odstavek 324. člena ZPP).
