Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia transferred the case to a different district court upon the lower court's request. The lower court admitted that the defendant's employment as an archivist at the original court could reasonably raise doubts about its objective impartiality. Consequently, the Supreme Court deemed this a significant reason to reassign jurisdiction to ensure a fair trial.

Za sojenje v tej zadevi je pristojno Okrajno sodišče v A.

[JEDRO]

Drug tehtni razlog lahko predstavlja tudi zahteva po objektivni nepristranskosti sodišča.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Okrajno sodišče B. je zapisalo v predlogu delegacije, da je toženec zaposlen pri tem sodišču kot arhivar in delavec v sprejemni pisarni, ta okoliščina pa bi lahko pri nasprotni stranki vzbudila dvom v nepristranskost sodišča pri sojenju.

Predlog je utemeljen.

2. Vrhovno sodišče lahko na predlog 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(1). Drug tehten razlog lahko predstavlja tudi zahteva po objektivni nepristranskosti sodišča. Zato je Vrhovno sodišče ugodilo predlogu in določilo pristojnost Okrajnega sodišča A.
