Okoliščina, da je stranka postopka nekdanji zakonec vpisničarke za postopanje pristojnega sodišča, ki ji je dodeljen VL vpisnik, ni tehten razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti v pomenu določbe 67. člena ZPP,

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Za vodenje postopka v tej zadevi pristojno sodišče je, sklicujoč se na določbo 67. člena Zakona o pravdnem postopku (ZPP), vrhovnemu sodišču predlagalo določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča za postopanje, v predlogu pa navedlo, da je dolžnik A. A. nekdanji zakonec vpisničarke sicer pristojnega sodišča B. A., ki ji je dodeljen VL vpisnik.

Predlog ni utemeljen.

Okoliščina, da je stranka postopka nekdanji zakonec vpisničarke za postopanje pristojnega sodišča, ki ji je dodeljen VL vpisnik, ni tehten razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti v pomenu določbe 67. člena ZPP, saj pri strankah ne more (in ga očitno tudi ni) vzbuditi utemeljenega dvoma o nevtralnosti in neodvisnosti stvarno in krajevno pristojnega sodišča kot nosilca sodne funkcije ali sicer v dojemanju zunanjega videza teh postulatov poštenega postopanja. Neutemeljen predlog je zato bilo treba zavrniti.
