Procedures

In accordance with the Supreme Court Order from November 16, 2020 procedural time limits did not run, except in cases where a child’s benefit is in question. However, this is just a temporarily measurement, therefore, you should carefully monitor the running of deadlines.

In accordance with the Act Determining Intervention Measures to Assist in Mitigating the Consequences of the Second Wave of COVID-19 Epidemic of 29 December 2020, the execution of any enforcement orders that are subject to enforcement proceedings has been postponed from the date of 31th of the December 2020 onward in cases where the debtor is a natural person, only if the present case does not represent an urgent matter, which is decided by court even at a time of an epidemic, and only if the present case is not dealing with the enforcement of the claim for child maintenance and compensation for lost child maintenance due to the death of the maintenance payer. The above-mentioned measure was initially valid until 31 January 2021 and the Government of Slovenia subsequently first extended its validity until 17 March 2021, finding that the reasons that were the basis for its adoption still exist and later further extended its validity until 18 April 2021, in accordance with the declaration of the epidemic.

The Government of the Republic of Slovenia has not decided to further extend the suspension of enforcement proceedings against natural persons, so the measure of statutory suspension of enforcement will only apply until 18 April 2021. After this date, enforcement proceedings will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Enforcement and Security Act.
