COMPARISON OF THE SLOVENIAN ATTORNEYS ACT TO CROATIAN ACT WITH THE EMPHASIS ON ELIGIBILITY OF LAWYERS FOR ACCES TO VARIOUS DATA (ARTICLE 10)

Odvetništvo je po Ustavi RS kot del pravosodja samostojna in neodvisna služba, ki jo ureja zakon. Gre torej za ustavno kategorijo, ki ima poseben pomen za pravno varnost in za spoštovanje temeljnih človekovih pravic in svoboščin v Republiki Sloveniji. Opravljajo ga odvetniki kot svoboden poklic, ki pridobijo to pravico z vpisom v imenik odvetnikov po izpolnitvi pogojev določenih z zakonom. Novost, ki jo je prinesla zakonska ureditev po osamosvojitvi Slovenije je, da odvetnik sam prosto izbira ali bo nekoga zastopal ali pa bo stranki, ki se je nanj obrnila, odrekel pravno pomoč, vendar Kodeks odvetniške poklicne etike, ki so ga sprejeli odvetniki sami na skupščini Odvetniške zbornice Slovenije leta 1994 in so ga sedaj dvakrat dopolnili, pa določa naj odvetnik brez tehtnega razloga pravne pomoči stranki ne odreče. Stanovska organizacija odvetnikov v Republiki Slovenije je tako Odvetniška zbornica Slovenije, ki deluje po načinu samoupravljanja, in ima pristojnosti pri sprejemu in dopolnitvi statuta same organizacije, pri določitvi odvetniške tarife po predhodnem soglasju ministra pristojnega za pravosodje, pri vpisu v imenik odvetnikov, v imenik tujih odvetnikov, pri vpisu v imenik odvetniških kandidatov kakor tudi vpisuje v poseben imenik odvetniške pripravnike, izvede tudi disciplinski postopek proti odvetniku ali drugim prej naštetim osebam, ki se vpisujejo v imenike pri Odvetniški zbornici Slovenije in ima na razpolago različne ukrepe kot je opomin, ukor, denarna kazen in celo izrek prepovedi opravljanja odvetništva ali prakse, ki jo lahko izreče odvetniškemu pripravniku. Skladno s takim ustavnim položajem zakon o odvetništvu določa pravice in dolžnosti odvetnikov pri opravljanju njihovega poklica. Pri tem določa posebna pooblastila odvetnikov pri pridobivanju podatkov, posebej tudi osebnih podatkov. Glede na ustavni položaj in zakonska pooblastila gre šteti, da je zakon o odvetništvu v razmerju do drugih specialni predpis o pooblastilih odvetnikov za pridobivanje osebnih podatkov. Za odvetnike to pravno področje na načelni ravni in s splošno veljavnostjo ureja drugače, kakor velja za druge uporabnike podatkov. Navedeno izhodišče je pomembno, ker različni državni organi v zadnjem obdobju glede pridobivanja osebnih podatkov posredujejo nepravilna, neusklajena, celo protislovna mnenja. Taki primeri kažejo na prevladujoč birokratski odnos, s katerim si državna oblast prilašča monopol nad osebnimi podatki in odreka njihovo posredovanje odvetnikom tudi v primerih, ko imajo za to zakonsko podlago in ustrezna procesna pooblastila. Ravno iz tega razloga je Odvetniška zbornica Slovenije skupaj z Državnim svetom pred pristojnim odborom Državnega zbora zahtevala obvezno razlago 10. člena zakona o odvetništvu, ki ureja to problematiko. Do sedaj je odbor Državnega zbora vedno to zavrnil z ugotovitvijo, da zahteva ni dovolj specifično postavljena in pojasnjena. Tak način obnašanja zakonadajalca pa ima seveda tudi vpliv in učinek, ko odvetnik zahteva osebne podatke v posameznem primeru, na tiste subjekte, ki bi morali posredovati zahtevane podatke. Zato odvetniku, ki mu ni bila odobrena zahteva, preostaneta za uveljavitev svojih pravic dve poti. Prva je, da zahteva ukrepanje inšpektorja za varstvo osebnih podatkov pri Ministrstvu za pravosodje RS po določbah 30. do 32. člena zakona o varstvu osebnih podatkov, ali pa zahteva sodno varstvo v upravnem sporu po določbi 157. člena Ustave RS in po določbah zakona o upravnem sporu.Attorneys following the Constitution as part of an independent judiciary and an independent body governed by the law. It is therefore a constitutional category, which is of particular importance for legal certainty and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms in the Republic of Slovenia. Performed by lawyers as a liberal profession who acquire this right of entry to practice after fulfilling the conditions prescribed by law. Innovation brought about by regulation after Slovenia\u27s independence is that the lawyer himself is free to choose whether someone will or will represent the party that has turned on him to deny legal aid, but the code of professional ethics adopted by the lawyers themselves Assembly Bar Association of Slovenia in 1994 and was completed twice now, but down to a lawyer without a valid reason for legal aid the parties do not deny. Professional organization of lawyers in the Republic of Slovenia is also Bar Association of Slovenia, which operates in a manner of self-management, and has responsibility for adopting and supplementing the Statute for their own organization, lawyers\u27 fees in determining the prior consent of the Minister responsible for justice, for the registration to practice in foreign contacts lawyers in the entry in the directory of lawyers of candidates as well as enrolling in a special directory trainee lawyers, also take disciplinary action against a lawyer or other persons listed above to be included in the directories in the Bar Association of Slovenia and has access to various measures such as warning, reprimand, fine and even the imposition of ban on advocacy or practice imposed by the Lawyers trainee. Consistent with such constitutional position of law on lawyers, the rights and duties of lawyers in the exercise of their profession. It provides specific powers lawyers in obtaining data, particularly the personal data. Given the constitutional position and legal powers are considered to be a law on the Bar in relation to other special legislation authorizing lawyers to obtain personal data. For lawyers this legal area in principle and of general application governing the contrary, as for the other users of the data. That starting point is important because various government authorities in recent times regarding the acquisition of personal information provided is incorrect, inconsistent, even contradictory opinions. Such cases show the dominant bureaucratic attitude, which you state authority reserves the monopoly on personal information and disclaimer of their lawyers in mediation cases where the statutory basis for this and the relevant procedural powers. That is why the Bar Association of Slovenia, together with the National Council before the committee of the National Assembly requested the statutory interpretation of the 10th Article of the Law on the Bar, which governed this issue. To date, the Board of the National Assembly still refused, stating that the request is not specific enough and asked to clarify. This type of conduct of legislature has, of course, influence and impact, the lawyer for personal information in a particular case, those entities should provide the information requested. Therefore, a lawyer whose requests was not approved will be left to exercise their rights in two ways. The first is that it requires action by an inspector for the protection of personal data of the Ministry of Justice of Republic Slovenia according to the provisions on 30th to 32nd of the Law on protection of personal data or ask for legal protection in administrative proceedings according to the provision on 157th of the Constitution of Republic Slovenia and under the provisions of the Law on administrative disputes
