| Methods of service (Art. 5(1)(2)): |
When a request by a foreign court to serve documents is not accompanied by a translation into Slovene, even though required by international treaties that the documents to be served must be written in the language of the requested country, then the court informs the party invited for the first time due to the serving of documents by a foreign court without a translation, that this court act shall be sent by postal channel if the party does not appear in the court at the first invitation and the party shall therefore lose the opportunity to decline to accept this foreign court act. (Art. 89 of the Court Rules). The service of documents will be performed according to the national rules which regulate service of documents of national courts unless otherwise provided by law, international agreement or EU legislation. (Art. 89 of the Court Rules) A party who appears in court in order to be served on in person with a foreign court act without a translation, shall be informed by the court of the right to decline to accept it. (Art. 89: of the Court Rules). See also E-justice website: https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_service_of_documents-371-si-sl.do?member=1 |
| Translation requirements (Art. 5(3)): |
Under Slovenian law, service requested in accordance with Art. 5(1) of the Convention requires that all documents to be served must be prepared in Slovenian language or that a translation in Slovenian be attached thereto. Documents in foreign language without translation to Slovenian language can be served in accordance with Article 5(2) of the Convention. |
| Costs relating to execution of the request for service (Art. 12): |
As a rule there is no obligation to pay for the service of documents, except where the court orders - at a party's request - that documents be served by a legal or natural person that performs service as a registered activity on the basis of a special authorisation from the Minister responsible for Justice. In that case the party proposing service by process-server must pay an advance on the costs of service; at the end of the proceedings the costs of the proceedings are borne by the party that loses or by both parties, each proportionate to its success in the case. |
| Time for execution of request: | Executed in less than 2 months |
