Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia rejected the defendant's request to transfer the case to a different territorial court. The defendant argued that the judge knew the plaintiff, who was temporarily working through a student service at the local court, and that all judges at that court had daily contact with the plaintiff. The court held that temporary employment through a student service does not constitute a weighty reason for transfer under the Code of Civil Procedure. Consequently, the court ruled that such temporary contact does not undermine judicial impartiality or independence, and no reasonable doubt regarding the fairness of the trial was raised.

Predlog za določitev drugega sodišča se zavrne.

[JEDRO]

Če stranka dela na sodišču priložnostno prek študentskega servisa, to ni razlog za smotrno delegacijo.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Toženec je na naroku za glavno obravnavo, potem ko je sodnica ugotovila, da pozna na videz tožnika, ki trenutno dela prek študentskega servisa na Okrajnem sodišču v ..., naj se določi drugo krajevno pristojno sodišče za obravnavanje te zadeve. Sodišče samo pa je v dopisu, s katerim je posredovalo ta toženčev predlog, pojasnilo, da so vsi sodniki tega sodišča s tožnikom v "dnevnih kontaktih".

Predlog ni utemeljen. Zakon o pravdnem postopku res določa, da lahko vrhovno sodišče na predlog stranke ali pristojnega sodišča določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, da obravnava zadevo, če so za to podani tehtni razlogi (67. člen). Vendar v ta pravni standard ni mogoče uvrstiti primera, ko se sodniki videvajo z nekom, ki začasno opravlja pomožna dela na sodišču. Sodnik mora namreč vselej ravnati tako, da varuje nepristranskost in neodvisnost sojenja (2. člen Zakona o sodniški službi). Gre torej za trdno osebnost, ki je ne more in ne sme omajati poznanstvo na videz, po drugi strani pa tudi pri nasprotni stranki se ne more vzbuditi utemeljen dvom o morebitni pristranskosti sojenja v takšnih primerih. Zato predlog toženca, podprt s stališčem sodišča ni utemeljen in ga je bilo treba zavrniti.
