Za postopanje v tej zadevi se določi Okrožno sodišče v Novem mestu.

[JEDRO]

Dejstvo, da je toženčeva žena sodnica na pristojnem sodišču je tehten razlog za prenos pristojnosti na drugo sodišče.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Tožeča stranka je na Okrožno sodišče v ... vložila tožbo proti toženi stranki zaradi plačila zneska 2.906.496,00 SIT. Dne 11.07.2001 pa je predlagala določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča, ker je okrožna sodnica pri Okrožnem sodišču v..., A. A., žena tožene stranke.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po določbi 67. člena ZPP (Zakona o pravdnem postopku - 1999) lahko vrhovno sodišče na predlog stranke med drugim določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, če obstoje za to tehtni razlogi. Okoliščina, da je okrožna sodnica pri Okrožnem sodišču v ..., A. A., žena toženca, je tako tehtna, da so podani pogoji za prenos pristojnosti na drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, v tem primeru Okrožno sodišče v Novem mestu.
