Za odločanje v tej zadevi se določi Okrožno sodišče v K..

[JEDRO]

Problem obravnavan v odločbi se nanaša na delegacijo pristojnosti zaradi sorodstvenega razmerja med pravdno stranko in sodnikom, po 68 čl. ZPP.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Pri Okrožnem sodišču v N. je tožeča stranka proti toženi stranki vložila tožbo zaradi plačila zneska 3,007.008,00 SIT.

Okrožno sodišče v N. je dne 26.3.1998 predlagalo določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča v skladu z določbo 68. člena ZPP s sklicevanjem na predlog tožene stranke z dne 24.3.1998. Slednja je predlagala določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča za to, ker je tožeča stranka tašča enega od okrožnih sodnikov pri Okrožnem sodišču v N., pri katerem teče pravdni postopek.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po 68. členu ZPP lahko Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije na predlog stranke ali pristojnega sodišča odloči, naj postopa v posamezni zadevi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže opravil postopek, ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi. Obstoj slednjega, torej tehtnega razloga, ki potrjuje delegacijo pristojnosti, je razviden in izkazan iz predloga, ki ga je tožena stranka podala dne 24.3.1998 povzelo pa je tudi samo Okrožno sodišče v N. Ker gre za dvom v nepristranost sojenja, je bilo za sojenje v tej zadevi delegirano Okrožno sodišče v K.
