The Higher Court in Ljubljana dismissed the appellant's appeal, confirming the first-instance court's decision that the appeal was filed too late. The appellant argued they received the judgment on January 21, 2000, but the court found the return slip and postmark clearly indicated January 20, 2000. Consequently, the court held that the service date is determined by these objective documents, rendering the appeal inadmissible under the Code of Civil Procedure.

Pritožba se zavrne in se sklep sodišča prve stopnje potrdi.

[JEDRO]

Na povratnici kot javni listini je jasno napisan datum prejema sodbe, isti datum pa je odtisnjen tudi na poštnem žigu na hrbtni strani povratnice. Zato velja ta datum kot datum vročitve sodbe.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Sodišče prve stopnje je s sklepom zavrglo pritožbo tožeče stranke zoper sodbo V Pg 24/99 z dne 14.1.2000, ker je bila vložena prepozno. Zoper sklep se je tožeča stranka pravočasno pritožila in predlagala njegovo razveljavitev. Pritožba ni utemeljena. Pritožbena trditev, da je tožeča stranka prejela sodbo dne 21.1.2000, zaradi česar ne razume izpodbijanega sklepa, v katerem je navedeno, da je bilo to 20.1.2000, ne drži. Iz povratnice v spisu, ki je javna listina, namreč popolnoma jasno sledi, da je prejemnica pošiljke nanjo kot datum prejema napisala "dvajseti januar 2000", isti datum pa je odtisnjen tudi na poštnem žigu na hrbtni strani povratnice. Zato je ugotovitev sodišča prve stopnje, da je bila sodba vročena tožeči stranki 20.1.2000, pravilna. To pa pomeni, da je bila pritožba, vložena dne 31.1.2000, res prepozna. Zato je pritožbeno sodišče na podlagi določbe 2. točke 365. člena ZPP neutemeljeno pritožbo tožeče stranke zavrnilo in potrdilo napadeni sklep.
