Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia dismissed the victim's request for legality protection as inadmissible because the victim, acting as a prosecutor, lacks standing under the Criminal Procedure Act. While the victim is a party to the criminal proceedings, the law restricts this specific extraordinary remedy to the state prosecutor, the accused, or their defense attorney. Consequently, the court ruled that the victim cannot initiate this procedural step, thereby rejecting the application entirely.

Zahteva oškodovanca kot tožilca R.Š. za varstvo zakonitosti se zavrže kot nedovoljena.

[JEDRO]

Oškodovanec kot tožilec ne more vložiti zahteve za varstvo zakonitosti.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Zahtevo za varstvo zakonitosti smejo po določilu 1. odstavka 421. člena Zakona o kazenskem postopku (ZKP) vložiti državni tožilec Republike Slovenije, obdolženec in zagovornik, po obdolženčevi smrti pa jo smejo v njegovo korist vložiti tudi osebe iz drugega odstavka 367. člena ZKP. Oškodovanec kot tožilec, čeprav je stranka v kazenskem postopku, torej ne more vložiti tega izrednega pravnega sredstva. Zato je Vrhovno sodišče zahtevo oškodovanca kot tožilca R.Š. za varstvo zakonitosti zavrglo kot nedovoljeno (2. odstavek 422. člena ZKP).
