Basic Court in Novi Sad 2024-11-05
At the non-public hearing of 5 November 2024 in P2.1435/24, Bojana Vujić presides and Milan Petrović appears in person. No one appears for the defendant CSR. The record states that the defendant’s representative was duly summoned by a ruling of 16 September; that representative is not the plaintiff’s former lawyer. The hearing runs from 11:00 to 11:30. The court records that the Appellate Court in Novi Sad’s ruling R.22/24 of 21 August 2024 is handed directly to the plaintiff at this hearing. The linked Appellate Court ruling assigns subject-matter jurisdiction to the Basic Court. The plaintiff states that he is unversed in law, wants to seek legal assistance and asks for 30 days to set out his position in writing. He says he has lost his job and will provide evidence of an agreed termination of his employment contract, and asks for exemption from court fees after submitting that evidence. He proposes that no hearing be scheduled before his submission arrives. The panel grants 30 days from announcement of the ruling for the written position and fee-exemption evidence. It will decide the further course in writing after the submission and orders a copy of the record sent to the CSR. The ruling does not itself exempt him from court fees. Later author’s account: he was told that a summons for the same hearing was being sent for the second time. He does not know whether the first was sent to him or to his former lawyer, who had informed the court that she no longer represented him. He received the latest summons and came alone. This account remains separate from the court’s statement about summoning the defendant’s representative.
