Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia rejected a request to transfer jurisdiction to a court in Novi Gorici. The defendant argued that due to having no assets and receiving free legal aid, the case should be heard there for procedural ease. The court held that mere financial indigency and the grant of free legal aid do not constitute sufficient grounds for transferring jurisdiction under the relevant procedural law.

[JEDRO]

Zgolj dejstvo, da ima stranka majhna finančna sredstva in ji je bila dodeljena brezplačna pravna pomoč, samo po sebi ne predstavlja predpostavke za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Toženec je po pooblaščencu (odvetniku) predlagal, da "se prenese krajevna pristojnost" na sodišče v Novi Gorici, ker je toženec brez premoženja, njegova pokojnina pa znaša 50.000 SIT in mu je bila s tem v zvezi odobrena brezplačna pravna pomoč.

Predlog ni utemeljen.

Po 67. členu Zakona o pravdnem postopku - ZPP, se lahko 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. Zgolj dejstvo, da ima stranka majhna finančna sredstva in da ji je bila dodeljena brezplačna pravna pomoč, samo po sebi ne predstavlja predpostavke za določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča.
