Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court dismissed the appellant's appeal regarding the conversion of an uncollectible fine into a prison sentence. The appellant argued the imprisonment was inappropriate, but the court held that objections expressing disagreement with a final, enforceable judgment are inadmissible in enforcement proceedings. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's decision to convert the fine into 15 days of imprisonment.

Pritožba obsojenega B.B. se zavrne kot neutemeljena.

[JEDRO]

V postopku izvršitve denarne kazni, ki je ni mogoče niti prisilno izterjati (6. odst. 38. čl. KZ) so brezpredmetne pritožbene navedbe, kolikor pritožnik z njimi izraža nestrinjanje s pravnomočno sodbo, ki je izvršljiva.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Okrajno sodišče v ... je z izpodbijanim sklepom obsojenemu B. B.

denarno kazen 30 dnevnih zneskov kar znaša 60.000,00 SIT, ki je ni bilo mogoče niti prisilno izterjati, spremenilo v 15 dni zapora in s tem odločilo, o načinu izvršitve denarne kazni.

Proti navedenemu sklepu se je pritožil obsojenec brez navedbe pritožbenih razlogov in brez predloga, iz vsebine pritožbe pa izhaja, da se "s takšno kaznijo ne more strinjati, ker je neprimerna".

Pritožba ni utemeljena.

Že v prejšnjem sklepu višjega sodišča z dne 6.7.1999 je bilo pojasnjeno, da so v tem postopku brezpredmetne pritožbene navedbe, kolikor pritožnik z njimi izraža nestrinjanje s pravnomočno sodbo.

Kot takšne je treba oceniti tudi tokratne pritožbene navedbe obsojenca, da se s kaznijo ne strinja, ker ni primerna in da je bilo "v prvotnem postopku narejenih veliko napak".

Sodišče prve stopnje je z izpodbijanim sklepom na podlagi določbe 38. čl. KZ odločilo, da se denarna kazen 30 dnevnih zneskov kar znaša 60.000,00 SIT, ki je obsojenec kljub pozivu ni plačal in ki jo ni bilo mogoče niti prisilno izterjati, izvrši tako, da se spremeni v zaporno kazen 15 dni in sicer na način, da se za vsaka začeta dva dnevna zneska (en dnevni znesek znaša 2.000,00 SIT) določi en dan zapora. Takšna odločitev sodišča prve stopnje je pravilna in zakonita in jo pritožnikovi ugovori, ki so pravno nepomembni, ne morejo izpodbiti. Pritožniku preostane bodisi, da izrečeno denarno kazen plača in se s tem izogne zaporu (zato ima še vedno možnost) ali pa bo ta kazen izvršena na opisan način.

Zaradi navedenih razlogov je višje sodišče obsojenčevo pritožbo zavrnilo kot neutemeljeno.
