Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia designated the Basic Court in Maribor to decide on a request for a provisional measure pending due to property disturbance. The court at the original venue proposed transferring jurisdiction because both parties were closely related to the presiding judge, raising concerns about impartiality. The court granted the transfer request under Article 68 of the Civil Procedure Act, ruling that such a relationship constitutes a significant reason preventing the current court from adjudicating fairly.

Za odločanje v tej zadevi se določi Temeljno sodišče v Mariboru.

[JEDRO]

Prenos pristojnosti zaradi sorodstvenega razmerja strank s sodnikom.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Pri Temeljnem sodišču v ..., enoti v ..., je v teku pravda zaradi motenja posesti, s predlogom za izdajo začasne odredbe.

Sodišče, pri katerem teče pravda je podalo predlog za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča z utemeljitvijo, da sta pravdni stranki v sorodstvenem razmerju s sodnico pravdnega oddelka sedežne enote Temeljnega sodišča v ...

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po določbi 68. člena ZPP (Uradni list SFRJ, št. 4/77, 27/90 v zvezi s 1. odstavkom 4. člena ustavnega zakona za izvedbo temeljne ustavne listine o samostojnosti in neodvisnosti Republike Slovenije - Uradni list RS, št. 1/91-I) je mogoče opraviti prenos pristojnosti iz stvarno in krajevno pristojnega sodišča na drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže opravil postopek, ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi. V obravnavanem primeru sta pravdni stranki v ožjem sorodstvenem razmerju s sodnico, ki opravlja sodniško funkcijo na sodišču, pri katerem teče postopek. Obstoji torej okoliščina, ki lahko vzbudi dvom o nepristranosti odločanja pri tem sodišču. To pa je tehten razlog, da to sodišče ne more odločati v pravdi med omenjenima pravdnima strankama. Predlogu za delegacijo je bilo zato treba ugoditi.
