The Supreme Court of Slovenia transferred jurisdiction from the Gornja Radgona District Court to the Maribor District Court for a possession interference case. The plaintiff and a proposed witness were siblings, and the only other judges at the original court were also related to the plaintiff. The court ruled that this familial concentration created a significant risk of bias, necessitating the transfer to ensure impartial proceedings.

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

[JEDRO]

Tehten razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti je, če je eden od treh sodnikov pristojnega sodišča najožji sorodnik tožeče stranke in hkrati predlagana priča v pravdi.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Tožnik A. B. je proti tožencu J. P. vložil tožbo zaradi motenja posesti pravice stvarne služnosti. Krajevno pristojno Okrajno sodišče v Gornji Radgoni je predlagalo, da se za sojenje v tej zadevi določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po 67. členu Zakona o pravdnem postopku (ZPP, Ur. l. RS, št. 26/99 in 96/2002) je mogoče opraviti prenos pristojnosti s stvarno in krajevno pristojnega sodišča na drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže izvedel postopek ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi. V obravnavani zadevi je izkazano, da sta tožnik A. B. in v zadevi predlagana priča B. B. brat in sestra. Navedena je sodnica na okrajnem sodišču, v katerega stvarno in krajevno pristojnost spada predmetni spor. Poleg nje sta na tem sodišču zaposlena samo še dva sodnika. To pa je tehten razlog v smislu 67. člena ZPP, ki narekuje, da se za sojenje določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče. Zato je bilo treba predlogu za delegacijo ugoditi z odločitvijo, da bo postopek vodilo in odločalo v tej stvari sicer krajevno nepristojno, vendar stvarno pristojno Okrajno sodišče v Mariboru.
