Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia dismissed the appeal, ordering the case back to the District Court in Celje. The plaintiff, a judge at that court, sued a colleague for a debt, prompting the court president to request a transfer of jurisdiction under Article 67 of the Civil Procedure Act. The court ruled that the plaintiff's status as a judge at the original venue constitutes a significant reason for delegating the case to another court to ensure impartiality.

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

[JEDRO]

Dejstvo, da je stranka sodnik krajevno pristojnega sodišča je razlog za delegacijo.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Tožnik A. A. je pri Okrajnem sodišču v ... kot stvarno in krajevno pristojnem sodišču proti B. B. vložil tožbo zaradi plačila zneska 534.335 SIT. Ker pa je B. B. sodnik Okrajnega sodišča v ... je podpredsednica tega sodišča predlagala, naj vrhovno sodišče v skladu z določbo 67. člena ZPP določi v tem postopku za sojenje drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče.

Predlog je utemeljen.

Po določbi 67. člena ZPP lahko vrhovno sodišče tudi na predlog pristojnega sodišča določi drugo stvarno pristojno sodišče, da postopa v zadevi, če je očitno, da se bo tako laže opravil postopil, ali če so za to drugi tehtni razlogi. Ni dvoma, da je okoliščina, da je tožnik sodnik pri stvarno in krajevno pristojnem sodišču, tak tehten razlog, ki zahteva prenos pristojnosti na drugo stvarno, ne pa krajevno pristojno sodišče.
