The Supreme Court has confirmed that the expulsion of a first-year student from one of Ljubljana's secondary schools was unlawful, as it was based on a perceived threat rather than a concrete danger to life or health. The student had drawn a sketch during class that allegedly indicated a plan to detonate bombs at the school. However, the school principal received an anonymous report three months after the sketch was created, leading to the student’s temporary suspension and eventual expulsion by the teaching staff in February 2024. The Supreme Court ruled that the expulsion was unjustified because the threat was not objectively verified or clearly dangerous. According to the court, the school must differentiate between a feeling of being threatened and an actual risk to safety. The student’s mother emphasized that her son made a mistake but did not pose a serious threat, and the school’s actions were appropriate but not excessive. The family now plans to file a compensation claim against the school.
