Procesno-pravna problematika dodelitve pravice do Zoisove štipendije : magistrsko delo

Bahorić, Ida (author), Kovač, Polonca (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava procesno-pravno problematiko dodeljevanja Zoisovih štipendij. Temeljno raziskovalno izhodišče temelji na preučevanju uporabe Zakona o splošnem upravnem postopku (ZUP) ob upoštevanju posebnosti, ki jih zaradi kompleksnosti tega upravnega področja določa Zakon o štipendiranju (ZŠtip-1). Študija analizira, kako so v praksi varovani ključni procesni instituti, kot so načelo zakonitosti, materialna resnica, sodelovanje strank, procesni roki in vročanje. Raziskava temelji na kombinaciji kvalitativnih in kvantitativnih metod, in sicer analizi zakonodaje, sodne prakse, statističnih podatkov, internih pisanj Sklada, intervjuju z direktorico Sklada in študiji sistema štipendiranja nadarjenih na Hrvaškem. Rezultati magistrskega dela kažejo, da je praksa Sklada sicer prilagojena specifikam upravnega postopka dodelitve Zoisove štipendije, a ker lex specialis ne ureja vseh potrebnih specifik v celoti, praksa odstopa od pravil ZUP. Iz tega izhaja, da ZUP ni optimalen za tovrstni upravni postopek, zato je ključno, da ZŠtip-1 ustrezno uredi specialno procesno normo, kadar za to obstaja razlog. Sodna praksa dodatno opozarja na nezakonitost nekaterih določb Pravilnika o dodeljevanju Zoisove štipendije, ki v več primerih presegajo zakonski okvir, določen v ZŠtip-1. V času epidemije covid-19 so bile med upravnimi in sodnimi organi zaznane razlike v interpretaciji interventne zakonodaje, zlasti glede priznavanja izjemnih okoliščin kot pogoja za dodelitev ali ohranitev štipendije. Po pojasnilu intervjuvane direktorice Sklada pa začasni ukrepi niso bistveno vplivali na procesna pravila vodenja upravnega postopka dodelitve Zoisove štipendije, saj so se spremembe nanašale predvsem na pogoje za priznanje pravice.

Abstract

The master's thesis addresses the procedural and legal issues of granting Zois scholarships. The core research focus lies in examining the application of the General Administrative Procedure Act (ZUP) in the context of specific provisions introduced by the Scholarship Act (ZŠtip-1) which, due to the complexity of the administrative area, functions as a lex specialis. The study analyzes how fundamental procedural principles such as legality, material truth, the right to be heard, compliance with deadlines, and proper service of decisions are implemented in practice. The research in based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including legal analysis and judicial practice, review of statistical data and internal documents of Public Scholarship, Development, Disability and Maintenance Fund of the Republic of Slovenia, an interview with the director of the Fund and a comparative case study of scholarship systems for talented students in Croatia. The findings of the thesis indicate that although the Fund's practice is adapted to the specifics of the administrative procedure for granting the Zois scholarship, the lex specialis does not regulate all necessary specifics in full. As a result, practice deviates from the rules of the ZUP. This suggests that ZUP is not optimal for this type of administrative procedure, and therefore it is essential for ZŠtip-1 to appropriately regulate the special procedural norm where justified. Judicial practice futher warns the unlawfulness of certain provisions of the Rules on the Awarding of the Zois Scholarship, which in several cases exceed the legal framework set out in the ZŠtip-1. During the Covid-19 pandemic, differences in the interpretation of intervention legislation were detected between administrative and judicial authorities, especially at assesing the exceptional conditions for granting a scholarship. However, according to the explanation of the interviewed director of the Fund, these intervention legislations did not have a significant impact on the procedural elements of the administrative process, as the changes mainly related to the conditions for the granting Zois Scholarship.
