The Court of Appeal rejected the appeal against a first-instance decision that dismissed a lawsuit filed against a deceased individual. The appellant argued that the court should have recognized the plaintiff's property rights or appointed a temporary representative for the deceased. The court ruled that since a deceased person cannot be a party to proceedings, no legal representative can be appointed, requiring the plaintiff to sue the heirs instead.

Pritožba se zavrne in p o t r d i sklep sodišča prve stopnje.

[JEDRO]

Ker mrtva oseba ne more biti stranka postopka, ji tudi zakonitega zastopnika ni mogoče postaviti.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Prvostopenjsko sodišče je z izpodbijanim sklepom zavrglo tožbo, vloženo zoper L.F., ker je ta umrl in zato ne more biti stranka postopka.

Zoper sklep se pritožuje drugi tožnik D.M. V pritožbi navaja, da je bil smisel vložene tožbe ta, da se na tožečo stranko vpiše s priposestvovanjem pridobljena lastninska pravica na nepremičnini. Kljub temu, da je toženec verjetno umrl leta 1946, je pritožnik pričakoval, da bo sodišče razsodilo v korist tožeče stranke ali pa vsaj v postopku določilo tožencu začasnega zastopnika.

Pritožba ni utemeljena.

Pravdna stranka je, kot to določa 76.čl. Zakona o pravdnem postopku (ZPP) lahko vsaka fizična in pravna oseba. V obravnavanem primeru je bila tožba vložena zoper L.F., glede katerega pa je sama tožeča stranka pojasnila, da je leta 1946 umrl. Ker mrtva oseba ne more biti stranka postopka, ji tudi zakonitega zastopnika ni mogoče postaviti. Tožeča stranka bo morala zatrjevano lastninsko pravico uveljavljati zoper dediče zemljiškoknjižnega lastnika. Pritožbeno sodišče je zato pritožbo zavrnilo in potrdilo sklep sodišča prve stopnje (2.tč. 365.čl. ZPP).
