Abstract

Razvidno je iz prakse Europskog suda za ljudska prava da znatno financijsko opterećenje prouzrokovano iznosom nametnutih troškova postupka može rezultirati povredom prava na pristup sudu i prava na mirno uživanje vlasništva, a koja jamči Konvencija za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda. Da bi se pravo na pristup sudu iz čl. 6., st. 1. Konvencije u pojedinom slučaju stvarno i ostvarilo, nužno je da se nalogom za plaćanje troškova ne naruši sama bit prava. Povrh toga, odluka o troškovima postupka mora težiti ostvarenju legitimna cilja, a kojemu mora biti razumno razmjerna. Ocjena postojanja razumne razmjernosti između troškova postupka i legitimna cilja ovisit će o okolnostima pojedinog slučaja. Ako bi nacionalni sudovi odredbe o troškovima postupka primijenili mehanički, odnosno zanemarivši okolnosti pojedinog slučaja, ostvarenje prava na pristup sudu ostalo bi neizvjesno.
Odlukom o troškovima postupka može se narušiti i pravo na mirno uživanje vlasništva iz čl. 1. Protokola br. 1 uz Konvenciju za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda. Da bi se pravo na mirno uživanje vlasništva u pojedinom slučaju doista i ostvarilo, odluka o troškovima postupka mora biti donesena zakonito i njezino donošenje mora biti usmjereno postizanju legitimna cilja odredaba o troškovima postupka. Tom legitimnu cilju odluka o troškovima postupka mora biti razumno razmjerna, a što će se ocijeniti sagledavanjem okolnosti pojedinog slučaja.
Upravo su te okolnosti, koje je kao svojevrsne kriterije ocjene moguće povrede Konvencijom zajamčenih prava razvio Europski sud za ljudska prava, u središtu ovog rada. Njihovo prikazivanje moglo bi poslužiti hrvatskim sudovima u odmjeravanju troškova postupaka, a čime bi se izbjegle povrede navedenih prava.

Abstract (english)

It is clear from the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights that considerable financial burden imposed at the end of the proceedings may constitute a violation of the right of access to a court and the right to the peaceful enjoyment of possession as guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights. The right of access to a court as guaranteed by Article 6 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights will be violated if the very essence of the right is impaired. Equally, the violation of the right of access to a court will be found if the imposition of costs of proceedings does not pursue a legitimate aim. If the very essence of the right of access to a court is preserved and imposition of costs has a legitimate aim, the European Court of Human Rights will examine whether imposed costs are proportional to the legitimate aim. In order to determine whether proportionality requirement is satisfied, the amount of costs has to be assessed in the light of the particular circumstances of the case. According to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, right of access to a court may be violated if domestic courts mechanically apply provisions on costs of proceedings, thus disregarding specific circumstances of the case.
The amount of costs which one party to proceedings is ordered to pay to another may result in violation of the right to the peaceful enjoyment of possession. Violation of the Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 will not occur if costs order satisfies principle of lawfulness and pursues a legitimate aim. However, the amount of costs has to be reasonable proportionate to the legitimate aim of ordering costs of proceedings. In each case specific circumstances need to be assessed in order to ascertain whether proportionality requirement is satisfied. Otherwise the right to the peaceful enjoyment of possession may be violated.
This paper thus presents principles that have been developed by the European Court of Human Rights which shall serve as a guide to the Croatian courts in determining costs of proceedings.
