Legislator summary

AI generated

The appeal against the first-instance court's rejection of the insolvency petition was dismissed as unfounded. The creditor argued the decision was overly formalistic, but the court correctly applied Article 72/II of the Insolvency Act, emphasizing that insolvency proceedings are strictly formal. The court ruled that the applicant, aware of these procedural rules, must rely on individual enforcement failure to prove insolvency rather than requesting the court to alter clear statutory provisions.

Pritožba se kot neutemeljena zavrne in se potrdi sklep sodišča prve stopnje.

[JEDRO]

Upnik kot predlagatelj, z dokazilom, da z individualno izvršbo na dolžnikova denarna sredstva pri banki ni prišel do plačila, verjetno izkaže obstoj stečajnega razloga - insolventnosti.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Stečajni upnik se je pritožil zoper sklep prvostopnega sodišča, ki je zavrglo predlog za začetek (pravilno - predlog za uvedbo) stečajnega postopka. V pritožbi očita prvostopnemu sodišču, da je njegov sklep "skrajno formalističen in neživljenski in se z njim ščiti dolžnika na škodo upnika".

Pritožba ni utemeljena.

Prvostopno sodišče je pravilno uporabilo drugi odstavek 72. člena Zakona o prisilni poravnavi, stečaju in likvidaciji (ZPPSL).

Pritožitelju, ki ga zastopa prava vešča oseba, bi moralo biti znano, da so predpisi, ki urejajo sodne postopke strogo formalni. Enako kot v kazenskem, ali pravdnem postopku, tudi v stečajnem postopku sodišče iz "praktičnih" ali podobnih razlogov ne sme po svoje spreminjati procesne določbe in tako tudi povsem jasne določbe 72/II člena ZPPSL.

Upnik kot predlagatelj, z dokazilom, da z individualno izvršbo na dolžnikova denarna sredstva pri banki ni prišel do plačila, verjetno izkaže obstoj stečajnega razloga - insolventnosti. S predlogom za uvedbo stečajnega postopka predlagatelj sproži predhodni postopek, v katerem sodišče ugotovi obstoj stečajnega razloga in s sklepom iz člena 84 ZPPSL začne (glavni) stečajni postopek.
