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

[JEDRO]

Dejstvi, da je tožnik brat, toženec pa razvezani zakonec A. S., ki opravlja sodniško funkcijo pri sodišču, pri katerem je bila tožba vložena, predstavljata tehten razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti po 67. členu ZPP.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Tožeča stranka je vložila pri Okrožnem sodišču v ... dne 12.5.2000 proti toženi stranki tožbo zaradi nedopustnosti izvršbe.

Okrožno sodišče v ... je predlagalo, da naj v zadevi postopa drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče. Kot razlog je navedlo dejstvi, da je tožnik brat, toženec pa razvezani zakonec A. S., ki opravlja sodniško funkcijo na sodišču, pri katerem je bila tožba vložena.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po 67. členu Zakona o pravdnem postopku (v nadaljevanju ZPP) lahko vrhovno sodišče na predlog stranke ali pristojnega sodišča 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.

Dejstvi, da je tožnik brat, toženec pa razvezani zakonec A. S., ki opravlja sodniško funkcijo pri sodišču, pri katerem je bila tožba vložena, predstavljata tehten razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti po 67. členu ZPP. Zato je Vrhovno sodišče Republike Slovenije predlogu ugodilo.
