The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of former president of the Ljubljana District Court, Marjan Pogačnik, who had challenged his removal from office by the Judicial Council. The court ruled that the Judicial Council acted in accordance with the law when it removed Pogačnik following findings by the European Court of Human Rights regarding serious violations of judicial procedures under his leadership. Pogačnik initially sought to overturn the decision and later requested the Supreme Court to identify irregularities, but both requests were denied.
