Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia rejected the applicant's request to transfer the case to the Higher Court in Novska. The applicant argued that the Higher Court in Ljubljana was biased because it had previously ruled against them, while the Republic of Slovenia was the defendant. The court held that general claims of bias are not sufficient grounds for transferring jurisdiction, especially since the Republic of Slovenia cannot be impartially tried by any Slovenian court.

[JEDRO]

V obravnavani zadevi je tožena Republika Slovenija in nobenega razloga ni, da bi bilo za to katerokoli od slovenskih sodišč pristransko.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

V pravdni zadevi, v kateri je Okrožno sodišče v Ljubljani odločilo o odškodninski obveznosti Republike Slovenije, je toženec proti sodbi prvega sodišča vložil pritožbo, v kateri je med drugim predlagal, naj bi o pritožbi zaradi nevtralnosti in nepristranskosti odločilo Višje sodišče v Novi Gorici. Po njegovem Višje sodišče v Ljubljani ne more odločati o nepopravljivi škodi zaradi protipravnosti, ker je predhodno že odločalo o toženčevih pritožbah in jim ni ugodilo.

Predlog ni utemeljen.

Po 67. členu Zakona o pravdnem postopku (ZPP)(1) lahko Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, da postopa v zadevi, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže opravil postopek, ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi.

Posplošene trditve o pristranskem obravnavanju Višjega sodišča v Ljubljani, ki ni ugodilo toženčevim pritožbam, niso tehten razlog za prenos pristojnosti. V obravnavani zadevi je tožena Republika Slovenija in nobenega razloga ni, da bi bilo zato katerokoli od slovenskih sodišč pristransko. Pravdne stranke ne morejo izbirati sodišč, poleg tega pa v Novi Gorici ni višjega sodišča.
