The Supreme Court of Slovenia ordered the transfer of an enforcement proceeding to a different court.

Za odločanje na drugi stopnji se določi Višje sodišče v Celju.

[JEDRO]

Okoliščina, da je bila delavka sodišča ob vložitvi izvršilnega predloga, zakonita zastopnica upnika, lahko predstavlja tehten razlog za določitev prvega stvarno pristojnega sodišča.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Dolžnik je vložil pritožbo proti sklepu Okrajnega sodišča v ..., opr. št. In 2003/00679 z dne 17.5.2004. Pritožbeno sodišče (ki je sicer pristojno za odločanje o pritožbi) je predlagalo določitev drugega sodišča, ki naj postopa v zadevi, ker je zakonita zastopnica in upničina mati že dalj časa zaposlena kot vodja vpisnika oddelka za civilno sodstvo pri Višjem sodišču v ... To okoliščino negativno ocenjuje tudi dolžnik v pritožbi.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Vrhovno sodišče ocenjuje, da predstavlja upničino sorodstveno razmerje z delavko pritožbenega sodišča tehten razlog v smislu določbe 67. člena Zakona o pravdnem postopku. Pri tem je zlasti pomembno, da je L.S. vložila izvršilni predlog kot zakonita zastopnica upnice v postopku zaradi izterjave preživnine. "Tehten razlog" se nanaša le na odločanje o pritožbi in je bilo zato v konkretnem primeru potrebno določiti drugo pritožbeno sodišče.
