Legislator summary

AI generated

The first-instance court dismissed the plaintiff's lawsuit, ruling that failure to pay court fees constituted a withdrawal of the claim under Article 180(4) of the Civil Procedure Act. The plaintiff argued they could not pay due to incarceration and lack of income, but the court found the right to collect fees had expired four years after the lawsuit's filing. Consequently, the appellate court held that the legal consequence of deemed withdrawal cannot apply when the fee collection right is time-barred, ordering the case remanded for a new trial.

Pritožbi se ugodi, sklep se razveljavi in se zadeva vrne sodišču prve stopnje v nov postopek.

[JEDRO]

Če je pravica zahtevati plačilo takse za tožbo zastarala, ne more nastopiti pravna posledica umika tožbe, določena v 4. odst. 180. čl. ZPP.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Z izpodbijanim sklepom je sodišče prve stopnje štelo, da je tožeča stranka umaknila tožbo, ker tudi po opominu ni plačala takse za tožbo. Zoper sklep sodišča prve stopnje je vložil pritožbo tožnik. V pritožbi navaja, da je opomin za plačilo takse prejel 21.9.2001. V času od 20.12.1996 do 1.7.2001 je bil na prestajanju kazni zapora. Takse ne more plačati ker nima dohodkov. Pritožba je utemeljena, vendar ne iz razlogov, ki jih navaja pritožba. Taksna obveznost nastane z dnem vložitve tožbe (1. tč.

2. odst. 4. čl. Zakona o sodnih taksah - ZST). Zastaranje pravice zahtevati plačilo takse nastane v vsakem primeru, ko pretečejo štiri leta od dneva nastanka taksne obveznosti (2. odst. 9. čl. ZST). Tožba je bila vložena 12.9.1997. Rok, v katerem bi sodišče lahko izterjalo takso, je potekel dne 12.9.2001. Izpodbijani sklep je sodišče prve stopnje izdalo 23.10.2001, torej v času, ko je že zastarala pravica še zahtevati plačilo takse, na to dejstvo pa pazi sodišče po uradni dolžnosti. Ker je pravica zahtevati plačilo takse zastarala, pravna posledica, določena v 4. odst. 180. čl. Zakona o pravdnem postopku (ZPP - domneva o umiku tožbe), ne more nastopiti. Iz navedenih razlogov je bilo pritožbi tožnika ugoditi, sklep razveljaviti in zadevo vrniti sodišču prve stopnje v nov postopek (3. tč. 365. čl. ZPP).
