dalībniekiem;

3) ir radniecības attiecībās līdz trešajai pakāpei vai svainības attiecībās līdz otrajai pakāpei ar kādu no tiesnešiem, kas

ir tās tiesas sastāvā, kura izskata lietu;

4) ir personīgi tieši vai netieši ieinteresēts lietas iznākumā vai ir citi apstākļi, kas rada pamatotas šaubas par viņa

objektivitāti.

(2) Ja ir šā panta pirmajā daļā vai šā likuma 18.pantā minētie apstākļi, tiesnesis sevi atstata līdz lietas iztiesāšanas

sākumam .

(3) Ja šā panta pirmajā daļā minētos apstākļus tiesnesis atklāj lietas iztiesāšanas gaitā, sevis atstatīšana izdarāma

tiesas sēdē, norādot sevis atstatīšanas motīvus. Šajā gadījumā tiesa lietas izskatīšanu atliek.

(4) Ja tiesnesis nav sevi atstatījis, jebkurš lietas dalībnieks uz šajā pantā minētajiem pamatiem var pieteikt

noraidījumu tiesnesim vai vairākiem tiesnešiem vienlaikus, norādot katra tiesneša atstatīšanas iemeslus.

pieteikts.

(2) Tiesas sēdē pieteikto noraidījumu tiesa izlemj apspriežu istabā.

1) ja noraidījums pieteikts vienam tiesnesim, to izlemj pārējais tiesas sastāvs. Ja balsis sadalās līdzīgi, tiesnesis ir

noraidīts;

2) ja noraidījums pieteikts vairākiem tiesnešiem, to ar balsu vairākumu izlemj tā pati tiesa pilnā sastāvā.

(2) Jautājumu par strīda pakļautību izšķir tiesa vai tiesnesis. Ja tiesa vai tiesnesis atzīst, ka strīds nav pakļauts tiesai,

objekts.

atlīdzināta.

(2) Ja prasītājs atsakās no prasības, viņš atlīdzina atbildētājam radušos tiesas izdevumus. Prasītāja samaksātos tiesas

izdevumus šajā gadījumā atbildētājs neatlīdzina. Tomēr, ja prasītājs neuztur savus prasījumus tāpēc, ka atbildētājs

tos pēc prasības iesniegšanas labprātīgi apmierinājis, tiesa pēc prasītāja lūguma piespriež no atbildētāja prasītāja

samaksātos tiesas izdevumus.

(3) Ja prasība atstāta bez izskatīšanas, tiesa pēc atbildētāja lūguma piespriež no prasītāja atbildētāja samaksātos

proporcionāli apmierinātajai prasījuma daļai.

(2) Ja prasību noraida, tiesas izdevumi, kas nav samaksāti iepriekš, piespriežami no prasītāja valsts ienākumos.

(3) Ja prasība apmierināta daļēji, bet atbildētājs atbrīvots no tiesas izdevumu samaksas, tie piedzenami valsts

ienākumos no prasītāja, kas nav atbrīvots no tiesas izdevumu samaksas, proporcionāli tai prasījuma daļai, kura

noraidīta.

(4) Ja abas puses ir atbrīvotas no tiesas izdevumu samaksas, tiesas izdevumus uzņemas valsts.

pierādījumus, pēc viņu motivēta lūguma tos izprasa tiesa.

(3) Pierādījumus iesniedz ne vēlāk kā septiņas dienas pirms tiesas sēdes, ja tiesnesis nav noteicis citu termiņu

pierādījumu iesniegšanai. Lietas iztiesāšanas laikā pierādījumus var iesniegt pēc puses vai citu lietas dalībnieku

motivēta lūguma, ja tas nekavē lietas iztiesāšanu vai tiesa savlaicīgas pierādījumu neiesniegšanas iemeslus atzinusi

par attaisnojošiem, vai pierādījumi ir par faktiem, kuri kļuvuši zināmi lietas iztiesāšanas laikā. Ja lietas dalībnieks

iesniedz pierādījumus pēc tam, kad notecējis termiņš, un tiesa atzīst, ka ar šādu rīcību apzināti tiek kavēta lietas

iztiesāšana, tiesa var uzlikt naudas sodu līdz piecdesmit latiem. Tiesas lēmums par atteikšanos pieņemt pierādījumus

nav pārsūdzams, bet iebildumus par to var izteikt apelācijas vai kasācijas sūdzībā.

(4) Ja tiesa atzīst, ka par kādu no faktiem, uz kuriem pamatoti puses prasījumi vai iebildumi, nav iesniegti

pierādījumi, tā paziņo par to pusēm un, ja nepieciešams, nosaka termiņu pierādījumu iesniegšanai.

civillietas, kurās piedalās tās pašas puses.

kriminālprocesa izbeigšanu uz nereabilitējoša pamata ir obligāts tiesai, kas izskata lietu par tās personas civiltiesisko

atbildību, par kuru pieņemts attiecīgais nolēmums, vienīgi jautājumā par to, vai noziedzīgā darbība vai bezdarbība

notikusi vai to izdarījusi vai pieļāvusi tā pati persona.

atziņām un dzīvē gūtiem novērojumiem.

(2) Nekādiem pierādījumiem nav iepriekš noteikta spēka, kas saistītu tiesu.

(3) Tiesai spriedumā jānorāda, kādēļ tā vienam pierādījumam devusi priekšroku salīdzinājumā ar citu pierādījumu un

atzinusi vienus faktus par pierādītiem, bet citus — par nepierādītiem.

rezultātā izdarītie secinājumi un motivētas atbildes uz tiesas uzdotajiem jautājumiem. Ja eksperts, izdarot ekspertīzi,

konstatē apstākļus, kuriem ir nozīme lietā un par kuriem viņam jautājumi nav uzdoti, viņš ir tiesīgs savā atzinumā

norādīt uz šiem apstākļiem.

(3) Ja izraudzīti vairāki eksperti, viņi ir tiesīgi savā starpā apspriesties. Ja eksperti nonāk pie kopīga atzinuma, to

paraksta visi eksperti. Ja ekspertu domas nesaskan, katrs eksperts raksta atsevišķu atzinumu.

125.pants. Eksperta atzinuma novērtēšana

(1) Eksperta atzinumu tiesa novērtē saskaņā ar šā likuma 97.panta noteikumiem .

(2) Ja eksperta atzinums nav pietiekami skaidrs vai ir nepilnīgs, tiesa var noteikt papildu ekspertīzi, uzdodot tās

izdarīšanu tam pašam ekspertam.

(3) Ja eksperta atzinums nav pamatots, kā arī gadījumā, ja vairāku ekspertu atzinumi ir pretrunīgi, tiesa var noteikt

atkārtotu ekspertīzi, uzdodot tās izdarīšanu citam ekspertam vai ekspertiem.

126.pants. Institūcijas atzinums

Šā likuma 89.pantā noteiktajā kārtībā pieaicinātās institūcijas atzinumu tiesa novērtē kā pierādījumu. Tiesas

nepievienošanās atzinumam motivējama lietā pieņemtajā nolēmumā.

rīkojuma procedūru (turpmāk — Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes regula Nr. 1896/2006), tiesnesis minētajos tiesību

aktos paredzētajos gadījumos par prasības pieteikuma virzību pieņem vienu no šā panta pirmajā daļā paredzētajiem

lēmumiem.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

prasības pieteikumu izsniedz prasītājam.

(3) Lēmumu var pārsūdzēt šajā likumā noteiktajā kārtībā.

(4) Tiesneša atteikums pieņemt prasības pieteikumu uz šā panta pirmās daļas 6.-9.punkta pamata nav šķērslis tāda

paša pieteikuma iesniegšanai tiesā, kad būs novērsti pieļautie trūkumi.

133.pants. Prasības pieteikuma atstāšana bez virzības

(1) Tiesnesis atstāj prasības pieteikumu bez virzības, ja:

1) prasības pieteikumā nav visu šā likuma 128.pantā noteikto rekvizītu;

nosaka termiņu trūkumu novēršanai. Šis termiņš nevar būt īsāks par 20 dienām, skaitot no lēmuma nosūtīšanas

dienas. Tiesneša lēmumu var pārsūdzēt šajā likumā noteiktajā kārtībā. Pārsūdzības termiņš skaitāms no dienas, kad

kurās viens prasītājs ceļ tiesā prasību pret vairākiem atbildētājiem vai vairāki prasītāji — pret vienu un to pašu

atbildētāju, tiesnesis ir tiesīgs apvienot šīs lietas vienā tiesvedībā, ja šāda apvienošana sekmēs lietu ātrāku un

pareizāku izskatīšanu un ja pusēm nav iebildumu.

135.pants. Prasījumu un civillietu sadalīšana

(1) Tiesnesis var uzdot prasītājam izdalīt vienu prasījumu vai vairākus prasījumus no apvienotajiem prasījumiem

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 19.06.2003. un 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

19.nodaļa Prasības nodrošināšana

137.pants. Prasības nodrošināšanas pamats

(1) Ja ir pamats uzskatīt, ka tiesas sprieduma izpilde lietā varētu kļūt apgrūtināta vai neiespējama, tiesa vai tiesnesis

(3) Izskatīt jautājumu par prasības nodrošināšanu pieļaujams jebkurā procesa stadijā, kā arī pirms prasības celšanas

tiesā.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 07.09.2006. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 11.10.2006.)

138.pants. Prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļi

(1) Prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļi ir:

1) atbildētājam piederošas kustamas mantas un skaidras naudas apķīlāšana;

2) aizlieguma atzīmes ierakstīšana attiecīgās kustamas mantas reģistrā vai citā publiskā reģistrā;

3) prasības nodrošināšanas atzīmes ierakstīšana zemesgrāmatā vai kuģu reģistrā;

4) kuģa arests;

5) aizliegums atbildētājam veikt noteiktas darbības;

6) to maksājumu apķīlāšana, kuri pienākas no trešajām personām, tajā skaitā naudas līdzekļi kredītiestādēs un citās

finanšu institūcijās;

7) izpildu darbības atlikšana (arī aizliegums tiesu izpildītājam nodot naudu vai mantu piedzinējam vai parādniekam vai

mantas pārdošanas apturēšana).

(2) Nodrošinot prasību ar aizlieguma atzīmes ierakstīšanu attiecīgās kustamas mantas reģistrā vai citā publiskā

reģistrā, lēmumā norāda, kāda veida aizliegums ierakstāms.

(3) Ja prasības priekšmets ir īpašuma tiesība uz kustamu mantu vai nekustamo īpašumu vai prasība vērsta uz tiesības

nostiprinājuma izdarīšanu, prasības nodrošinājums izdarāms, apķīlājot strīdā esošo kustamo mantu vai ierakstot

zemesgrāmatā attiecīgā nekustamā īpašuma nodalījumā aizlieguma atzīmi.

(4) Ja prasības priekšmets ir lietu tiesība uz nekustamo īpašumu, prasības nodrošinājums izdarāms, ierakstot

zemesgrāmatā attiecīgā nekustamā īpašuma nodalījumā apgrūtinājuma atzīmi.

(5) Ja prasības priekšmets ir naudas prasījums, tās nodrošinājums ar nekustamo īpašumu izdarāms, ierakstot

zemesgrāmatā attiecīgā nekustamā īpašuma nodalījumā ķīlas tiesības atzīmi.

(6) Kuģa arests piemērojams tikai jūras prasībās.

(7) Mantas pārdošanas apturēšana nav pieļaujama lietās, kurās prasība celta par naudas piedziņu.

(8) Apmierinot pieteikumu par prasības nodrošināšanu, lēmumā norāda summu, līdz kurai sniedzas nodrošinājums,

bet tā nedrīkst būt lielāka par prasības summu.

(9) Pieļaujams vienlaikus piemērot vairākus prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļus, ievērojot šā panta astotās daļas

noteikumus.

(07.09.2006. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

139.pants. Prasības nodrošināšana pirms prasības celšanas

(1) Iespējamais prasītājs var lūgt nodrošināt prasību pirms tās celšanas tiesā un pat pirms saistības termiņa

iestāšanās, ja parādnieks, izvairoties no saistības izpildes, izved vai atsavina savu mantu, atstāj dzīvesvietu,

neinformējot kreditoru, vai veic citas darbības, kas liecina, ka viņš nav godprātīgs. Iesniedzot pieteikumu par prasības

nodrošināšanu pirms prasības celšanas, iespējamais prasītājs sniedz pierādījumus, kas apliecina viņa tiesību pēc

saistības un nepieciešamību nodrošināt prasību.

(2) Pieteikumu par prasības nodrošināšanu pirms prasības celšanas iesniedz tiesai, kurā ceļama nodrošināmā prasība.

Ja puses ir vienojušās par strīda nodošanu šķīrējtiesai, pieteikumu iesniedz tiesai pēc parādnieka vai tā mantas

atrašanās vietas.

(3) Apmierinot pieteikumu par prasības nodrošināšanu pirms prasības celšanas, tiesnesis prasītājam nosaka termiņu

prasības pieteikuma iesniegšanai tiesā.

(07.09.2006. likuma redakcijā, kas stājas spēkā 11.10.2006.)

140.pants. Prasības nodrošinājuma jautājumu izskatīšana

(1) Pieteikumu par prasības nodrošināšanu tiesa vai tiesnesis izlemj ne vēlāk kā nākamajā dienā pēc lietas

ierosināšanas, iepriekš nepaziņojot atbildētājam un citiem lietas dalībniekiem.

(2) Apmierinot pieteikumu par prasības nodrošināšanu, tiesa vai tiesnesis var uzdot prasītājam nodrošināt

zaudējumus, kas atbildētājam varētu rasties sakarā ar prasības nodrošināšanu, iemaksājot noteiktu naudas summu

tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā.

(3) Tiesa pēc lietas dalībnieka pieteikuma var aizstāt noteiktos prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļus ar citiem līdzekļiem.

(4) Lietās, kurās prasības priekšmets ir naudas prasījums, atbildētājs var iemaksāt nodrošinātās prasības summu

tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā. Iesniegumā tiesu izpildītājam atbildētājs norāda, kādā lietā piemērotā prasības

nodrošinājuma līdzekļa aizstāšanai šī summa tiek iemaksāta, kā arī iesniedz tiesu izpildītājam attiecīgā lēmuma par

prasības nodrošināšanu norakstu. Tiesa vai tiesnesis, pamatojoties uz tiesu izpildītāja izsniegtu apliecinājumu par

summas iemaksu depozīta kontā, aizstāj pieņemto prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekli ar iemaksāto naudas līdzekļu

apķīlājumu. Apķīlātās kustamās mantas aizstāšana ar naudu, iemaksājot nodrošinātās prasības summu tiesu

izpildītāja depozīta kontā, uzskatāma par prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļa aizstāšanu.

(5) Prasības nodrošinājumu pēc puses motivēta pieteikuma var atcelt tā pati tiesa, kura nodrošinājusi prasību, vai

tiesa, kuras lietvedībā atrodas lieta izskatīšanai pēc būtības.

(6) Noraidot prasību, tiesa spriedumā atceļ prasības nodrošinājumu. Prasības nodrošinājums saglabājas līdz dienai,

kad spriedums stājas likumīgā spēkā.

(7) Ja prasība atstāta bez izskatīšanas vai tiesvedība izbeigta, tiesa lēmumā atceļ prasības nodrošinājumu. Prasības

nodrošinājums saglabājas līdz dienai, kad lēmums stājas likumīgā spēkā.

(8) Ja lēmums par prasības nodrošinājumu pieņemts pirms prasības celšanas un tiesas noteiktajā termiņā prasība nav

celta, tiesnesis pēc iespējamā prasītāja vai atbildētāja pieteikuma saņemšanas pieņem lēmumu par nodrošinājuma

atcelšanu.

(9) Šā panta trešajā un piektajā daļā minētos pieteikumus izlemj tiesas sēdē, iepriekš par to paziņojot lietas

dalībniekiem. Šo personu neierašanās nav šķērslis pieteikuma izskatīšanai.

141.pants. Prasības nodrošinājuma jautājumos pieņemto lēmumu pārsūdzēšana

(1) Par šā likuma 140.panta trešajā daļā minēto lēmumu un lēmumu, ar kuru noraidīts pieteikums par prasības

nodrošināšanu, var iesniegt blakus sūdzību. Šā likuma 140.panta otrajā daļā minētajā gadījumā blakus sūdzību var

iesniegt par tiesas lēmumu daļā, ar kuru prasītājam uzdots nodrošināt zaudējumus.

(2) Ja lēmums par prasības nodrošināšanu pieņemts bez lietas dalībnieka klātbūtnes, termiņu sūdzības iesniegšanai

skaita no lēmuma izsniegšanas dienas.

(07.09.2006. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 14.12.2006. un 05.02.2009. likumu. Ar Satversmes

tiesas 30.03.2010. spriedumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.04.2010., pirmā daļa, ciktāl tā neparedz tiesības iesniegt blakus

sūdzību par lēmumu, ar ko apmierināts pieteikums par prasības nodrošināšanu, vai lēmumu, ar ko noraidīts

pieteikums par prasības nodrošinājuma atcelšanu, atzīta par neatbilstošu Latvijas Republikas Satversmes 92. pantam

un noteikts, ka līdz brīdim, kad Saeima izdarīs grozījumus normatīvajā regulējumā, ir spēkā Civilprocesa likuma 141.

panta pirmā daļa 14.12.2006. redakcijā, ciktāl tā paredz atbildētājam tiesības iesniegt blakus sūdzību par lēmumu, ar

kuru tiesa ir atteikusies atcelt prasības nodrošinājumu)

142.pants. Prasības nodrošinājuma jautājumos pieņemto lēmumu izpilde

(1) Lēmums par prasības nodrošināšanu (140.panta pirmā daļa) un lēmums par prasības nodrošinājuma atcelšanu

(140.panta piektā daļa) izpildāms nekavējoties pēc tā pieņemšanas.

(2) Lēmums par prasības nodrošināšanu, kas pieņemts ar šā likuma 140.panta otrajā daļā noteikto nosacījumu,

izpildāms pēc tam, kad prasītājs iemaksājis tiesas vai tiesneša noteikto summu tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā. Izpildu

dokumentu vai šā panta trešajā daļā minētā lēmuma norakstu izsniedz pēc tiesas noteiktās summas iemaksas.

(3) Ja prasība nodrošināta ar nekustamo īpašumu vai kuģi, vai ar aizlieguma atzīmes ierakstīšanu kustamas mantas

reģistrā vai citā publiskā reģistrā, tiesa izsniedz prasītājam attiecīgā lēmuma norakstu ar uzrakstu, ka šis lēmuma

noraksts izsniegts atzīmes ierakstīšanai zemesgrāmatā kustamas mantas reģistrā vai citā attiecīgā publiskā reģistrā,

bet kuģa aresta gadījumā — kuģa aizturēšanai ostā.

(4) Lēmumu par prasības nodrošināšanu, apķīlājot atbildētājam piederošu kustamu mantu vai skaidru naudu, kas

atrodas pie atbildētāja vai trešajām personām, izpilda šā likuma 71.nodaļā noteiktajā kārtībā.

(5) Apķīlājot maksājumus, kuri atbildētājam pienākas no trešajām personām saskaņā ar līgumu (tajā skaitā naudas

līdzekļus kredītiestādēs un citās finanšu institūcijās), tiesu izpildītājs, pamatojoties uz izpildu dokumentu, nosūta šīm

personām pieprasījumu paziņot, vai tām ir pienākums maksāt kādas summas atbildētājam, kādā apmērā un termiņā,

kā arī paziņo, ka šīs summas tiek apķīlātas prasības summas apmērā, ievērojot šā likuma 1.pielikuma 3.punktā

noteikto ierobežojumu attiecībā uz parādnieku, un dod rīkojumu ieskaitīt maksājumus (tajā skaitā pieprasījuma

noguldījumus), kuriem iestājies termiņš, tiesu izpildītāja depozītu kontā. Apķīlātos maksājumus var izmaksāt citām

personām tikai atbilstoši tā tiesu izpildītāja aprēķinam, kurš pirmais apķīlājis maksājumus.

(6) Lēmumu par prasības nodrošināšanu, nosakot aizliegumu atbildētājam veikt noteiktas darbības, izpilda tiesu

izpildītājs un paziņo tiesas lēmumu atbildētājam vai attiecīgajai trešajai personai pret parakstu vai nosūtot ierakstītā

pasta sūtījumā.

(7) Ja lietās, kurās prasības priekšmets ir naudas prasījums, atbildētājs iemaksājis prasības summu tiesu izpildītāja

depozīta kontā, tiesu izpildītājs atbrīvo no apķīlājuma apķīlāto kustamo mantu.

(8) Piemērotā prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļa atcelšana, ja prasības nodrošinājums atcelts, izpildāma pēc tā tiesu

izpildītāja rīkojuma, kurš izpildījis lēmumu par prasības nodrošināšanu.

(9) Lēmumu par prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļa aizstāšanu izpilda tiesu izpildītājs, vispirms nodrošinot prasību ar

aizstājošo prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekli un pēc tam atceļot aizstāto prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekli. Summu, kura

iemaksāta tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā kā prasības nodrošinājuma līdzeklis, tiesu izpildītājs atmaksā, tikai

pamatojoties uz tiesas nolēmumu.

liecības došanu

170.pants. Liecinieku nopratināšana

(1) Katru liecinieku nopratina atsevišķi.

(2) Vispirms nopratināmi prasītāja norādītie liecinieki, pēc tam — atbildētāja norādītie liecinieki. Vienas puses norādīto

lieciniekam personīgi zināms lietā, izvairoties no tādu ziņu sniegšanas, kuru avotu viņš nevar uzrādīt, kā arī no savu

pieņēmumu un secinājumu izteikšanas. Tiesa var pārtraukt liecinieka stāstījumu, ja viņš runā par apstākļiem, kas

neattiecas uz lietu.

(5) Ar tiesas atļauju lietas dalībnieki var uzdot jautājumus lieciniekam. Pirmais jautājumus uzdod lietas dalībnieks, pēc

kura lūguma liecinieks izsaukts, pēc tam — citi lietas dalībnieki.

jautājumus var uzdot arī lietas dalībniekiem.

(8) Ja apstākļi, kuru noskaidrošanai liecinieki izsaukti, ir noskaidroti, tiesa ar lietas dalībnieku piekrišanu var

nenopratināt ieradušos lieciniekus, pieņemot par to attiecīgu lēmumu. Lietas dalībnieku piekrišanu ieraksta tiesas

sēdes protokolā, un to paraksta katrs lietas dalībnieks.

171.pants. Liecinieka tiesības lietot rakstveida piezīmes

Liecināšanas laikā liecinieks var lietot rakstveida piezīmes, ja viņa liecība saistīta ar aprēķiniem vai citiem datiem,

kurus grūti atcerēties. Šīs piezīmes uzrādāmas tiesai un lietas dalībniekiem, un tās pēc tiesas lēmuma var pievienot

lietai.

(1) Nepilngadīga liecinieka nopratināšana pēc tiesas ieskata izdarāma likumiskā pārstāvja vai pedagoga klātbūtnē. Šīs

personas var uzdot jautājumus nepilngadīgajam lieciniekam.

(2) Gadījumos, kad tas nepieciešams lietas apstākļu noskaidrošanai, nepilngadīgā liecinieka nopratināšanas laikā pēc

tiesas lēmuma var izraidīt no tiesas sēžu zāles jebkuru lietas dalībnieku un sēžu zālē klātesošu personu. Pēc lietas

dalībnieka atgriešanās sēžu zālē viņu iepazīstina ar nepilngadīgā liecinieka liecību un viņam dod iespēju uzdot

lieciniekam jautājumus.

(3) Liecinieks, kas nav sasniedzis 15 gadu vecumu, pēc nopratināšanas izraidāms no tiesas sēžu zāles, izņemot

gadījumus, kad tiesa atzīst par nepieciešamu šā liecinieka klātbūtni tiesas sēžu zālē.

Nopratinātajam lieciniekam jāpaliek tiesas sēžu zālē līdz lietas iztiesāšanas beigām. Viņš var atstāt sēžu zāli pirms

lietas iztiesāšanas beigām tikai saskaņā ar tiesas lēmumu, kas pieņemts pēc lietas dalībnieku viedokļu noklausīšanās.

dalībniekus ar šo pierādījumu saturu un uzklausījusi viņu viedokli.

(2) Valsts noslēpumu objektus apkopo atsevišķā sējumā.

nepieciešams, — arī ekspertiem un lieciniekiem.

(2) Personisko korespondenci var nolasīt atklātā tiesas sēdē tikai ar sarakstē iesaistīto personu piekrišanu. Ja šādas

pierādījumu, ceļot atsevišķu prasību, ja paraksts dots vardarbības, draudu vai viltus ietekmē.

(3) Zemesgrāmatu, notariālo un citu likumā noteiktajā kārtībā apliecināto aktu patiesīgumu nevar apšaubīt. Tos var

306.pants. Pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta iesniegšana tiesai

testatora nāves vai atzīšanas par mirušu nekavējoties iesniedzams tiesai pēc testatora pēdējās dzīvesvietas, bet, ja tā

nav zināma, — pēc mantojamās mantas vai tās galvenās daļas atrašanās vietas. Pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta

iesniedzējs norāda visus viņam zināmos mantiniekus un viņu dzīvesvietas.

(2) Savstarpējs testaments iesniedzams tiesai, tiklīdz nomirst kāds no testatoriem.

307.pants. Pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta nolasīšanas laika noteikšana

Tiklīdz pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akts iesniegts, tiesnesis, kuram lieta nodota izskatīšanai, nenogaidot lūgumu par to, ar

rakstveida lēmumu nosaka akta nolasīšanas dienu. Par to izliek sludinājumu tiesas telpās visiem redzamā vietā un

paziņo visiem zināmajiem mantiniekiem.

308.pants. Pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta nolasīšanas kārtība

(1) Noteiktā dienā tiesa atklātā sēdē atver pēdējās gribas rīkojuma aktu un šā likuma 170.pantā noteiktajā kārtībā

nopratina lieciniekus, kuri parakstījuši aktu, par viņu parakstu īstumu. Pēc tam tiek nolasīts viss pēdējās gribas

rīkojuma akts.

(2) Ja ir vairāki pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akti, tos visus atver un nolasa. Atver un nolasa arī tādus aktus, par kuriem

apgalvo, ka tie ir nelikumīgi vai viltoti. Nolasot pēdējās gribas rīkojuma aktu, ievēro Civillikuma 785.panta

noteikumus.

(3) Ja pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akts ir vairākos vienāda satura oriģināleksemplāros, nolasāms tikai viens no tiem.

Noraksta nolasīšana nav pielīdzināma oriģināla nolasīšanai, izņemot gadījumu, kad oriģināls ir nozudis vai kad nav

iespējams to drīzumā iesniegt; tādā gadījumā ieinteresētajām personām tomēr jāpierāda, ka pēdējās gribas rīkojuma

akts tiešām pastāv un, ja noraksts nav pienācīgi apliecināts, jāpierāda arī tā saturs.

(4) Par testamenta satura pierādījumu var uzskatīt tikai dokumentus vai testatora vēstuli, kurā testamenta noraksts

minēts, vai arī to liecinieku liecības, kuri norakstā minēti kā testamenta lieci nieki.

(5) Par visu pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta atvēršanas un nolasīšanas gaitu sastādāms tiesas sēdes protokols, kurā ne

vien pilnīgi ierakstāmi visi katrā testamentā ietvertie novēlējumi, bet arī ziņas par to:

1) vai zīmogi bijuši neskarti, ja akts bijis aizzīmogots;

2) kuri no lieciniekiem piedalījušies tiesas sēdē un kādas liecības viņi devuši;

3) vai bijuši iebildumi pret pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta īstumu vai likumīgo spēku;

4) vai aktā nav nekādu īpatnību — labojumu, dzēsumu, svītrojumu

309.pants. Mutiska testamenta konstatēšana

(1) Ja testators savu pēdējo gribu izteicis mutvārdos, tiesa pēc ieinteresēto personu pieteikuma var konstatēt un

formulēt mutisku testamentu. Šajā nolūkā tiesa aicina lieciniekus, kuri bija klāt, kad testators izteica savu gribu, un

tiesas sēdē viņus nopratina par testatora vārdu, uzvārdu un vecumu, par mutiskā testamenta saturu, kā arī par tā

sastādīšanas vietu, laiku un citiem apstākļiem, kuriem bijis sakars ar testamenta sastādīšanu un kuri var ietekmēt tā

likumīgo spēku. Liecinieku liecības ierakstāmas tiesas sēdes protokolā, kas jānolasa un lieciniekiem jāparaksta.

(2) Pēc liecinieku liecībām tiesa rakstveida lēmumā formulē mutiskā testamenta saturu. Lēmumu nolasa tiesas sēdē.

(3) Ja tiesa, novērtējusi liecinieku liecības, atzīst, ka uz to pamata nevar formulēt mutisku testamentu, tā ar

spriedumu noraida mutiskā testamenta pasludināšanu.

(4) Ja tiesa noskaidro, ka ir rakstveidā izteikts pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akts, tā pieteikumu par mutiska testamenta

konstatēšanu atstāj bez izskatīšanas.

310.pants. Tiesas darbība, ja testamentā ir novēlējums vispārnoderīgiem un labdarīgiem mērķiem

Kad nolasīts testaments, kurā ir novēlējums vispārnoderīgiem un labdarīgiem mērķiem, tiesa nosūta prokuroram

izrakstu no testamenta kopā ar ziņām par testamenta izpildītāju vai to personu vārdu, uzvārdu un dzīvesvietu, kuras

iesniegušas testamentu nolasīšanai.

311.pants. Uzaicinājuma par mantojuma atklāšanos izsludināšana

(1) Pēc pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta nolasīšanas tiesa šā likuma 326.pantā noteiktajā kārtībā izsludina uzaicinājumu

par mantojuma atklāšanos.

(2) Ja testamentā ir norādīts termiņš mantojuma pieņemšanai, tiesa to ņem vērā, nosakot uzaicinājuma termiņu.

312.pants. Mantinieku un ieinteresēto personu tiesības

iepazīties. Mantiniekiem pēc viņu lūguma var izsniegt šā testamenta norakstus ar uzrakstu, ka tas ir nolasīts un atbilst

likumā noteiktajai formai, bet nav stājies likumīgā spēkā.

(2) Uzaicinājumā norādītajā termiņā testamentārajam mantiniekam ir tiesības iesniegt tiesā pieteikumu par pēdējās

gribas rīkojuma atzīšanu par spēkā stājušos, bet personai, kuras tiesības ar pēdējās gribas rīkojumu ir aizskartas, —

iesniegt iebildumus un apstrīdēt testamentu.

4) kvīti par valsts nodevas samaksu.

(3) Pieteikumā norādāmi visi pieteicējam zināmie mantinieki.

314.pants. Testamenta apstrīdēšanas kārtība

(1) Ja ieinteresētā persona apstrīd pēdējās gribas rīkojuma aktu, tiesa aptur tiesvedību lietā par pēdējās gribas

rīkojuma akta stāšanos likumīgā spēkā un, ja nepieciešams, nosaka termiņu prasības celšanai. Ja noteiktā laikā

prasība nav celta, tiesa atjauno tiesvedību un izskata lietu par pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta stāšanos likumīgā spēkā.

(2) Ja prasības kārtībā pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akts tiek atzīts par spēkā neesošu pilnā apjomā, tiesa izbeidz

tiesvedību sevišķā tiesāšanas kārtībā.

spēkā stājušos pārējā daļā.

(4) Ja lietā par pēdējās gribas rīkojuma akta stāšanos likumīgā spēkā neatraidāmie mantinieki piesaka tiesības uz

mantojumu saskaņā ar likumu un ja starp ieinteresētajām personām nepastāv strīds par tiesībām uz mantojumu,

tiesa izskata šo pieteikumu šajā pašā lietā.

41.nodaļa Mantojuma apsardzība un aizgādnība

317.pants. Mantojuma apsardzības piekritība, pamats un līdzekļi

(1) Par mantojamās mantas apsardzību gādā tiesa pēc mantojuma atstājēja pēdējās dzīvesvietas. Ja mantojamā

manta atrodas citas tiesas teritorijā, tiesa, kura pieņēmusi pieteikumu, var uzdot šai tiesai gādāt par mantojamās

mantas apsardzību.

(2) Mirušā mantu apsargāt var lūgt:

1) mantinieks;

2) testamenta izpildītājs vai mantojuma aizgādnis;

3) mirušās personas darbavietas administrācija — bet tikai attiecībā uz darbavietas naudu, lietām vai dokumentiem,

kas palikuši mirušā mantā;

4) kreditori — attiecībā uz tādām pretenzijām, kas viņiem ar tiesas spriedumu piespriestas vai nodrošinātas. Šajā

gadījumā apsargājama tikai tā mantojamās mantas daļa, ar kuru pietiek minēto pretenziju apmierināšanai.

(3) Likumā noteiktajos gadījumos (Civillikuma 659.pants) tiesa gādā par mantojuma apsardzību pēc jebkuras

personas paziņojuma, ja tiesai droši zināms par mantojuma atstājēja nāvi.

101

(4) Atzinis, ka ir pamats mantojuma apsardzībai, tiesnesis pieņem par to lēmumu.

(5) Mantojuma apsardzības līdzekļi ir mantojamās mantas:

1) aizzīmogošana;

2) aprakstīšana un novērtēšana;

3) nodošana glabāšanā.

318.pants. Mantojamās mantas aizzīmogošana

(1) Mantojamo mantu aizzīmogo tikai tādā gadījumā, ja ieinteresētās personas to lūdz vai ja tiesnesis atzīst

aizzīmogošanu par nepieciešamu, vai ja pamatotu iemeslu dēļ nav iespējams nekavējoties aprakstīt mantu.

(2) Aizzīmogošanu izdara tiesu izpildītājs, pieaicinot vismaz divus lieciniekus un aizzīmogojot lietu glabātavas vai

pašas lietas. Pie aizzīmogošanas var būt klāt šā likuma 317.panta otrajā daļā norādītās personas.

(3) Pirms aizzīmogošanas tiesu izpildītājs ņem no personām, kas dzīvojušas ar mirušo vienā namā vai dzīvoklī, ja

tādas ir, parakstu par to, ka tās no palikušās mantas nav neko noslēpušas un tām nav zināms, ka kāda mantas daļa

būtu noslēpta, paņemta vai aiznesta.

(4) Ja ir saņemts paziņojums, ka starp mirušā lietām atrodas testaments, tiesu izpildītājs to uzmeklē vispirms. Ja

testamentu atrod, tiesu izpildītājs to neatvērtu nosūta tiesnesim, uz kura lēmuma pamata tiek izdarīta aizzīmogošana.

(5) Atrastie vērtspapīri, skaidra nauda un vērtslietas nododamas glabāšanā likumā noteiktajā kārtībā.

(6) Lietas, uz kurām pretenzijas pieteikušas trešās personas, aizzīmogo, un aizzīmogošanas aktā norāda pieteikto

pretenziju.

(7) Tiesu izpildītājs visu ar aizzīmogošanu saistīto darbību ieraksta aktā, kuru paraksta visas pieaicinātās personas.

Akts kopā ar visiem pieteikumiem iesniedzams tiesai, uz kuras lēmuma pamata izdarīta aizzīmogošana.

319.pants. Lietas, kuras neaizzīmogo

Nav aizzīmogojamas lietas, kas nepieciešamas ikdienas lietošanai mirušā namā vai dzīvoklī palikušajām personām, kā

arī lietas, kuras pēc to rakstura nevar aizzīmogot. Par neaizzīmogotajām lietām sastādāms saraksts.

320.pants. Zīmogu noņemšana

(1) Lēmumu par zīmoga noņemšanu no aizzīmogotās mantas pieņem vai nu tās tiesas tiesnesis, uz kuras lēmuma

pamata manta aizzīmogota, vai tā tiesa, kas izskata mantojuma lietu.

(2) Ja aizzīmogošana izdarīta tādēļ, ka mantinieki nav zināmi, vai viņu prombūtnes dēļ, zīmogus var noņemt pēc tam,

kad mantojumam iecelts aizgādnis.

(3) Zīmogus noņem tiesu izpildītājs vismaz divu liecinieku klātbūtnē.

(4) Zīmogus noņemot, ir tiesības būt klāt šā likuma 317.panta otrajā daļā norādītajām personām un personām, kas

pieteikušas pretenzijas uz aizzīmogotajām lietām. Šīm personām tiesu izpildītājs paziņo par zīmogu noņemšanas laiku.

102

(5) Visa ar zīmogu noņemšanu saistītā tiesu izpildītāja darbība ierakstāma aktā, ko paraksta liecinieki un klātesošās šā

panta ceturtajā daļā minētās ieinteresētās personas. Akts iesniedzams tiesai, pēc kuras lēmuma zīmogi noņemti.

321.pants. Mantojamās mantas aprakstīšana

(1) Mantojamās mantas aprakstīšanu un novērtēšanu pēc tiesneša lēmuma izdara tiesu izpildītājs vismaz divu

liecinieku klātbūtnē likumā noteiktajā kārtībā. Ja aprakstīšana uzsākta, iepriekš mantu neaizzīmogojot, jāievēro šā

likuma 318.panta trešajā, piektajā, sestajā un septītajā daļā paredzētie noteikumi.

(2) Neatliekamos gadījumos mantas aprakstīšanu pēc tiesneša lēmuma var uzsākt, nenogaidot, kamēr ieinteresētajām

personām tiks paziņots par aprakstīšanai noteikto termiņu.

(3) Tiesu izpildītājs par aprakstīšanas darbībām sastāda aktu, ko paraksta liecinieki un klātesošās šā likuma 317.panta

otrajā daļā minētās ieinteresētās personas. Akts iesniedzams tiesai, uz kuras lēmuma pamata izdarīta aprakstīšana un

novērtēšana.

322. pants. Aizzīmogotas vai aprakstītas mantas glabāšana

(1) Aizzīmogotā vai aprakstītā manta nododama glabāšanā aizgādnim, bet, ja tas nav iecelts, — citai personai šajā

likumā noteiktajā kārtībā.

(2) Lietas, kuras atprasa trešās personas, tām var atdot pēc tiesneša lēmuma, ja lietu piederība šīm personām ir

neapšaubāma un ja to atdošanu neapstrīd neviena ieinteresētā persona.

(3) Lietas, kas ātri bojājas, nekavējoties pārdodamas, pamatojoties uz tiesneša lēmumu, bet par tām ieņemtā nauda

pēc pārdošanas izdevumu atskaitīšanas ieskaitāma tiesu izpildītāju kantora depozīta kontā.

323.pants. Aizgādnība mantojumam

Ja tiesa, kura izskata mantojuma lietu, atzīst par nepieciešamu nodibināt mantojumam aizgādnību, tā pieņem par to

lēmumu, kuru nosūta izpildīšanai bāriņtiesai.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 07.09.2006. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 11.10.2006. Sk. Pārejas noteikumus.)

324.pants. Izsludināšanas pamats

uz mantojumu, norādot, ka gadījumā, ja viņi nepieteiks savas tiesības uzaicinājumā noteiktajā termiņā, nepieteiktās

tiesības tiks dzēstas. Ja izsludināšana notiek sakarā ar testamenta nolasīšanu, tiesa ar sludinājumu uzaicina pieteikt

savas tiesības arī personas, kurām ir iebildumi pret testamentu, norādot, ka pretējā gadījumā tās tiks atzītas par

tādām, kas atteikušās no iebildumiem.

(2) Sludinājums par mantojuma atklāšanos publicējams laikrakstā "Latvijas Vēstnesis", bet, ja mantojuma atstājēja

2) prasījumu, kas tiesai pieteikts pirms sludinājuma par mantojuma atklāšanos;

3) prasījumu, kas mantiniekam zināms.

(3) Personai, kas sludinājumā norādītajā termiņā nav pieteikusi savas tiesības, to dzēšana nav šķērslis prasības

celšanai vispārējā kārtībā, ja:

1) pārkāpti likuma noteikumi par sludinājuma saturu vai izsludināšanas kārtību;

pieteikumā norādītos mantiniekus.

(4) Tiesa, nepārbaudot pieteicēja pretenziju pareizību, noklausās klātesošo mantinieku paskaidrojumus, noskaidro, vai

mantojums atrodas kāda mantinieka valdījumā, un nosaka termiņu, kurā mantiniekiem jāpaziņo, vai viņi vēlas vai

nevēlas pieņemt mantojumu.

(6) Ja uzaicinājuma termiņā mantinieki nav pieteikušies vai arī ir atteikušies no mantojuma, tiesa izbeidz tiesvedību

šajā lietā un paziņo Finansu ministrijai par bezmantinieka mantu.

neievērojot šā panta otrajā un trešajā daļā noteikto.

(11) Pēc administratora lūguma tiesnesis pieņem lēmumu par mantas atbrīvošanu no apķīlājuma vai cita piemērotā

prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļa atcelšanu un mantas nodošanu administratoram. Lēmuma par prasības

nodrošinājuma līdzekļa atcelšanu norakstu tiesa nosūta ierakstīšanai attiecīgajā publiskajā reģistrā, kā arī ar likumu

pilnvarotajai iestādei, kas veic ierakstus maksātnespējas reģistrā.

(12) Administratoru var atcelt tiesa pēc savas iniciatīvas, ja tā, izskatot konkrētu jautājumu vai sūdzību

maksātnespējas procesa lietā, konstatē, ka administrators neievēro normatīvo aktu prasības vai nepilda tiesas

nolēmumu.

(13) Ja pēc maksātnespējas procesa pasludināšanas tiesa ir pieņēmusi lēmumu par administratora atkāpšanos vai

atcelšanu, tiesnesis pēc Maksātnespējas administrācijas priekšlikuma saņemšanas nekavējoties lemj par cita

administratora iecelšanu un tiesa lēmuma norakstu nosūta Maksātnespējas administrācijai un ar likumu pilnvarotajai

iestādei, kas veic ierakstus maksātnespējas reģistrā.

(2) Lemjot par Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 33.panta 1.punktā noteikto darbību veikšanu, tiesa konstatē, vai šīs

darbības ir minētās regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras kreditoru interesēs, un nosaka

piemērotus pasākumus šīs regulas 3.panta 2.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras kreditoru interešu

nodrošināšanai, kā arī to, kādas sekas rada bankrota procedūras (arī tās norisē pieņemtās sanācijas vai izlīguma

procedūras) apturēšana.

(3) Lemjot par Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 33.panta 2.punktā noteiktās darbības veikšanu, tiesa pārliecinās, ka

minētās darbības veikšana vairs nav pamatota.

(4) Lēmuma par Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 33.pantā noteikto darbību veikšanu norakstu tiesa nosūta

parādnieka pārstāvim, administratoram un ar likumu pilnvarotajai iestādei, kas veic ierakstus maksātnespējas

reģistrā.

minētās regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras kreditoru interesēs.

(6) Šā panta pirmajā daļā minēto lēmumu norakstus tiesa nosūta ar likumu pilnvarotajai iestādei, kas veic ierakstus

maksātnespējas reģistrā. Lēmuma par administratora atkāpšanos vai atcelšanu norakstu tiesa nekavējoties nosūta arī

Maksātnespējas administrācijai.

(7) Tiesa izskata sūdzību par kreditoru sapulces lēmumu, sūdzību par administratora lēmumu vai rīcību, kā arī sūdzību

par Maksātnespējas administrācijas pieņemto lēmumu par administratora rīcību maksātnespējas procesā vai tiesiskā

pienākuma uzlikšanu. Tiesa pēc sūdzības izskatīšanas lēmuma norakstu, izņemot lēmumu par sūdzību saistībā ar

kreditoru sapulces lēmumu, nekavējoties nosūta Maksātnespējas administrācijai.

(8) Tiesas lēmums par pieteikuma un sūdzības izskatīšanu nav pārsūdzams, izņemot gadījumu, kad tiesa pieņem

lēmumu par nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un maksātnespējas atzīmes dzēšanu zemesgrāmatā.

Pārsūdzams ir arī tāds lēmums, ar kuru noraidīts pieteikums par nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un

maksātnespējas atzīmes dzēšanu zemesgrāmatā, kā arī lēmums, ar kuru tiesa atzinusi izsoli par spēkā neesošu.

Apelācijas instances tiesas lēmums jautājumos par nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un

maksātnespējas atzīmes dzēšanu zemesgrāmatā nav pārsūdzams.

tiek aicināts pieteikuma vai sūdzības iesniedzējs, administrators, parādnieka pārstāvis un citas ieinteresētās personas.

Uzaicināto personu neierašanās nav šķērslis jautājuma izskatīšanai tiesas sēdē. Taču tiesa var atzīt parādnieka

pārstāvja ierašanos par obligātu un likt viņu atvest piespiedu kārtā.

(10) Sakarā ar šajā pantā minēto jautājumu izskatīšanu tiesa var pieprasīt, lai administrators iesniedz savas darbības

pārskatu vai citu informāciju, bet Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktajā maksātnespējas

procedūrā iesaistītais likvidators — informāciju, kas nepieciešama šajā pantā minēto nolēmumu pieņemšanai.

(1) Tiesa izskata administratora iesniegto izlīgumu jebkurā maksātnespējas procesa stadijā līdz parādnieka mantas

izsoles sākumam.

(2) Kopā ar izlīgumu tiesā iesniedzams arī kreditoru sapulces lēmuma par izlīguma noslēgšanu noraksts.

(3) Tiesa apstiprina izlīgumu, ja tas noslēgts normatīvajos aktos noteiktajā kārtībā un tā noteikumi nav pretlikumīgi.

(4) Ja tiesa pret parādnieku uzsākusi Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 2.punktā noteikto maksātnespējas

procedūru, tā apstiprina izlīgumu, ja šo izlīgumu rakstveidā apstiprinājis minētās regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktajā

maksātnespējas procedūrā iesaistītais likvidators.

(5) Ja pret parādnieku Latvijā uzsākta Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 2.punktā noteiktā maksātnespējas

procedūra un izlīgumu nav apstiprinājis minētās regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktajā maksātnespējas procedūrā

iesaistītais likvidators, tiesa pirms izlīguma apstiprināšanas uzklausa attiecīgo likvidatoru un apstiprina izlīgumu, ja

konstatē, ka Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 2.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras pabeigšana ar

izlīgumu neietekmē šīs regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras kreditoru finanšu intereses.

(6) Lēmuma par izlīguma apstiprināšanu norakstu tiesa nosūta ar likumu pilnvarotajai iestādei, kas veic ierakstus

maksātnespējas reģistrā.

(7) Tiesa atceļ izlīgumu, ja parādnieks nepilda tajā paredzētās saistības.

(2) Ja tiesa pret parādnieku uzsākusi Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 2.punktā noteikto maksātnespējas

procedūru, tad tiesa apstiprina kreditoru sapulces lēmumu par sanācijas pabeigšanu, ja to rakstveidā apstiprinājis

minētās regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktajā maksātnespējas procedūrā iesaistītais likvidators.

(3) Ja pret parādnieku Latvijā uzsākta Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 2.punktā noteiktā maksātnespējas

procedūra un šīs regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktajā maksātnespējas procedūrā iesaistītais likvidators nav

apstiprinājis kreditoru sapulces lēmumu par sanācijas pabeigšanu, tad tiesa pirms kreditoru sapulces lēmuma par

sanācijas pabeigšanu apstiprināšanas uzklausa attiecīgo likvidatoru un apstiprina minēto kreditoru sapulces protokolu,

ja tā konstatē, ka Padomes regulas Nr. 1346/2000 3.panta 2.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras pabeigšana

ar sanāciju neietekmē minētās regulas 3.panta 1.punktā noteiktās maksātnespējas procedūras kreditoru finanšu

intereses.

118

(4) Lēmuma par sanācijas pabeigšanu un maksātspējas atjaunošanu norakstu tiesa nosūta ar likumu pilnvarotajai

iestādei, kas veic ierakstus maksātnespējas reģistrā.

(2) Ja tiesa atzīst, ka pārsūdzētais administratora lēmums vai rīcība neatbilst normatīvo aktu prasībām, tā apmierina

sūdzību un uzdod administratoram novērst pieļauto pārkāpumu.

(3) Ja tiesa konstatē, ka pārsūdzētais administratora lēmums vai rīcība ir likumīga, tā sūdzību noraida.

(4) Ja, izskatot sūdzību par administratora lēmumu vai rīcību, tiesa konstatē, ka ir strīds par tiesībām, tā nosaka

termiņu, kādā sūdzības iesniedzējs var celt prasību tiesā vispārējā kārtībā.

(5) Sūdzības iesniedzējam ir tiesības atsaukt savu sūdzību, kamēr nav pabeigta sūdzības izskatīšana pēc būtības. Ja

procesā vai tiesiskā pienākuma uzlikšanu.

prasības nodrošinājuma līdzekļa atcelšanu un mantas nodošanu administratoram. Lēmuma par prasības

122

nodrošinājuma līdzekļa atcelšanu norakstu tiesa nosūta ierakstīšanai attiecīgajā publiskajā reģistrā, kā arī ar likumu

personas maksātnespējas procesa lietā, konstatē, ka administrators neievēro normatīvo aktu prasības vai nepilda

tiesas nolēmumu.

(23) Ja pēc fiziskās personas maksātnespējas procesa pasludināšanas tiesa ir pieņēmusi lēmumu par administratora

atkāpšanos vai atcelšanu, tiesnesis pēc Maksātnespējas administrācijas priekšlikuma saņemšanas nekavējoties lemj

par cita administratora iecelšanu un tiesa lēmuma norakstu nosūta Maksātnespējas administrācijai un ar likumu

pilnvarotajai iestādei, kas veic ierakstus maksātnespējas reģistrā.

lēmumu par administratora rīcību fiziskās personas maksātnespējas procesā vai tiesiskā pienākuma uzlikšanu. Tiesa

pēc sūdzības izskatīšanas pieņemtā lēmuma norakstu nekavējoties nosūta Maksātnespējas administrācijai.

(5) Tiesas lēmums par pieteikuma un sūdzības izskatīšanu nav pārsūdzams, izņemot gadījumu, kad tiesa pieņem

lēmumu par nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un maksātnespējas atzīmes dzēšanu zemesgrāmatā.

Pārsūdzams ir arī tāds lēmums, ar kuru noraidīts pieteikums par nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un

maksātnespējas atzīmes dzēšanu zemesgrāmatā, kā arī lēmums, ar kuru tiesa atzinusi izsoli par spēkā neesošu.

Apelācijas instances tiesas lēmums jautājumos par nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un

maksātnespējas atzīmes dzēšanu zemesgrāmatā nav pārsūdzams.

(6) Pieteikumu un sūdzību tiesa izskata 15 dienu laikā no pieteikuma un sūdzības saņemšanas dienas. Uz tiesas sēdi

tiek aicināts pieteikuma vai sūdzības iesniedzējs, administrators, fiziskā persona un citas ieinteresētās personas.

atzīstams par apzināti nepatiesu.

(6) Atzīstot pieteikumu par apzināti nepatiesu, tiesa piedzen no pieteicēja tiesas izdevumus, kā arī administratora un

par iesniegtās naudas vai citu priekšmetu saņemšanu un pieņem lēmumu uzaicināt kreditoru saņemt glabājumā

pieņemto saistības priekšmetu. Uzaicinājums izdarāms ar pavēsti, bet, ja kreditora vai viņa tiesību pārņēmēja

dzīvesvieta vai atrašanās vieta (juridiskā adrese) nav zināma, — ar sludinājumu laikrakstā "Latvijas Vēstnesis".

(2) Pavēstē vai sludinājumā norāda saistību, pēc kuras saistības priekšmets iesniegts tiesai glabājumā, un uzaicina

kreditoru saņemt glabājumā pieņemto saistības priekšmetu.

(2) Naudu, kas iemaksāta tiesā, lai dzēstu saistību vai prasījumus, kuri nodrošināti ar atzīmi zemesgrāmatā, ja šī

atzīme ir jau dzēsta, pieteicējs (parādnieks) var saņemt atpakaļ tikai ar kreditora piekrišanu vai pamatojoties uz

likumīgā spēkā stājušos tiesas spriedumu, kas iemaksu atzīst par spēkā neesošu.

izbeidz.

(1) Iesniegumu par saistības priekšmeta izsniegšanu izskata tiesas sēdē, uz kuru uzaicina pieteicēju (parādnieku) un

kreditoru. Šo personu neierašanās nav šķērslis iesnieguma izskatīšanai.

(2) Tiesa, konstatējusi, ka kreditors piekrīt saņemt glabājumā pieņemto saistības priekšmetu, pieņem lēmumu par tā

izsniegšanu kreditoram, kā arī par tiesas un glabāšanas izdevumu piedziņu no kreditora.

143

(3) Pirms pieņemt lēmumu par saistības priekšmeta izsniegšanu kreditoram, tiesa pieprasa no viņa aktu (ja tāds ir

taisīts), kas ir par pamatu saistībai, kura dzēšama ar glabājumā iesniegto saistības priekšmetu.

(4) Ja ar kreditoram izsniegto saistības priekšmetu saistība dzēsta pilnīgi, tiesa iesniegto aktu nodod pieteicējam

(parādniekam). Pretējā gadījumā tiesa uz akta taisa attiecīgu uzrakstu un nodod aktu kreditoram.

(5) Ja kreditors atsakās saņemt glabājumā pieņemto saistības priekšmetu un rodas strīds par tiesībām, tiesa pieņem

lēmumu par tiesvedības izbeigšanu, atdod glabājumā pieņemto saistības priekšmetu pieteicējam un izskaidro lietas

dalībniekiem tiesības izšķirt strīdu prasības kārtībā.

(2) Pastāvīgā šķīrējtiesa darbojas uz reglamenta pamata, bet šķīrējtiesa konkrēta strīda izšķiršanai tiek izveidota šajā

likumā noteiktajā kārtībā.

(3) Pastāvīgo šķīrējtiesu var izveidot viena vai vairākas juridiskās personas. Pastāvīgā šķīrējtiesa uzsāk darbību pēc

reģistrācijas šķīrējtiesu reģistrā. Šķīrējtiesu reģistru ved Uzņēmumu reģistrs. Par ierakstu izdarīšanu šķīrējtiesu

reģistrā maksājamās valsts nodevas apmēru, samaksas kārtību un atvieglojumus nosaka Ministru kabinets.

(4) Lai šķīrējtiesu reģistrētu šķīrējtiesu reģistrā, šķīrējtiesas dibinātāji iesniedz Uzņēmumu reģistram šķīrējtiesas

reglamentu un citus dokumentus saskaņā ar normatīvajiem aktiem par šķīrējtiesu reģistrācijas kārtību.

(5) Pastāvīgās šķīrējtiesas nosaukums nedrīkst sakrist ar šķīrējtiesu reģistrā jau reģistrētas vai reģistrācijai pieteiktas

šķīrējtiesas nosaukumu, kā arī nedrīkst ietvert maldinošas ziņas par šķīrējtiesas darbībai svarīgiem apstākļiem. Uz

šķīrējtiesu nosaukumiem attiecas komersantiem noteiktie firmas izvēles ierobežojumi.

(6) Strīdu izšķiršana šķīrējtiesā nav komercdarbība.

Civillikuma 19., 24. un 25.panta noteikumiem.

(2) Ja šādas vienošanās nav bijis vai šķīrējtiesa to atzinusi par spēkā neesošu, pušu tiesiskajai attiecībai

telegrammām vai izmantojot citus telekomunikācijas līdzekļus, kas nodrošina, ka tiek fiksēta pušu griba nodot strīdu

vai iespējamo strīdu izšķiršanai šķīrējtiesā.

līgumā, šī vienošanās uzskatāma par patstāvīgu līgumu. Ja līguma termiņš izbeidzies vai līgums atzīts par spēkā

neesošu, vienošanās par strīda nodošanu izšķiršanai šķīrējtiesā paliek spēkā.

(4) Katra puse ir tiesīga vienpusēji atkāpties no šķīrējtiesas līguma, paziņojot par to otrai pusei, ja puses nav

(1) Personai, kurai tiek prasīta piekrišana tās iecelšanai par šķīrējtiesnesi, jāatklāj pusēm jebkādi apstākļi, kuri var

izraisīt pamatotas šaubas par šīs personas objektivitāti un neatkarību. Ja šādi apstākļi šķīrējtiesnesim kļuvuši zināmi

līdz šķīrējtiesas procesa beigām, viņam tie nekavējoties jāatklāj pusēm.

(2) Šķīrējtiesnesi var noraidīt, ja pastāv apstākļi, kuri izraisa pamatotas šaubas par viņa objektivitāti un neatkarību,

kā arī tad, ja viņa kvalifikācija neatbilst tai, par kādu puses vienojušās. Puse var noraidīt šķīrējtiesnesi, kuru tā

saskaņā ar šķīrējtiesas reglamentu.

(3) Ja strīdu izšķir šķīrējtiesa, kas izveidota konkrēta strīda izšķiršanai, un puses nav vienojušās par šķīrējtiesneša

noraidījuma kārtību, puse, kura vēlas noraidīt šķīrējtiesnesi, 15 dienu laikā no dienas, kad tā uzzinājusi par šā

šķīrējtiesneša iecelšanu vai tai kļuvis zināms kā d s no šā likuma 501.pantā minētajiem apstākļiem, nosūta

šķīrējtiesnešiem paziņojumu, norādot tajā, kuru šķīrējtiesnesi tā noraida, un noraidījuma pamatu. Ja šķīrējtiesnesis,

kuram pieteikts noraidījums, neatsakās no savu pienākumu pildīšanas, jautājumu par noraidījumu izlemj pārējie

šķīrējtiesneši. Ja strīdu izšķir viens šķīrējtiesnesis, jautājumu par noraidījumu izlemj šis šķīrējtiesnesis.

170

jautājumiem, neizspriežot lietu pēc būtības.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

519.pants. Korespondence

(1) Šķīrējtiesas procesā visi paziņojumi, pieteikumi un cita veida korespondence nosūtāma ierakstītā vēstulē vai citādi,

fiksējot nosūtīšanas faktu, vai arī nogādājama adresātam personīgi pret parakstu.

(2) Korespondence uzskatāma par saņemtu, ja tā ir piegādāta adresātam personīgi vai pēc adresāta uzrādītās pasta

adreses, vai juridiskās personas atrašanās vietas (juridiskās adreses), vai fiziskās personas dzīvesvietas, bet, ja adresi

nevar noskaidrot, — pēc pēdējās zināmās adreses.

174

520.pants. Sekas, ja puse nepiedalās šķīrējtiesas procesā

(1) Ja atbildētājs neiesniedz atsauksmi uz prasību saskaņā ar šā likuma 515.pantu, šķīrējtiesa turpina procesu,

neuzskatot šādu neiesniegšanu par prasības atzīšanu, ja vien šķīrējtiesas līgumā nav noteikts citādi.

(2) Ja puses bez attaisnojoša iemesla neierodas uz šķīrējtiesas mutvārdu sēdi vai neiesniedz rakstveida pierādījumus,

šķīrējtiesa turpina procesu un izšķir strīdu, pamatojoties uz tās rīcībā esošajiem pierādījumiem.

521.pants. Pierādījumi

(1) Pierādīšanas līdzekļi šķīrējtiesā var būt pušu paskaidrojumi, rakstveida pierādījumi, lietiskie pierādījumi un

ekspertu atzinumi.

(2) Pierādījumus iesniedz puses. Katrai pusei jāpierāda tie apstākļi, uz kuriem tā atsaucas kā uz savu prasījumu vai

iebildumu pamatojumu. Šķīrējtiesa var pieprasīt, lai puses iesniedz papildu dokumentus vai citus pierādījumus.

(3) Rakstveida pierādījumus iesniedz oriģinālā vai noraksta veidā. Ja puse iesniedz dokumenta norakstu, šķīrējtiesa

pati vai pēc otras puses lūguma var pieprasīt iesniegt oriģināldokumentu. Oriģināldokumentu pēc tās personas

lūguma, kas iesniegusi šo dokumentu, šķīrējtiesa atdod atpakaļ, atstājot procesa materiālos apliecinātu tā norakstu.

(4) Šķīrējtiesa pati nosaka pierādījumu pieļaujamību un attiecināmību.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

522.pants. Ekspertīze

(1) Ja šķīrējtiesas līgumā nav noteikts citādi, šķīrējtiesa pēc puses lūguma var noteikt ekspertīzi, uzaicināt vienu vai

vairākus ekspertus. Ekspertīze notiek tikai tad, ja puse iepriekš samaksājusi par eksperta pakalpojumiem.

(2) Puses pēc šķīrējtiesas pieprasījuma iesniedz ekspertam nepieciešamās ziņas vai dokumentus, uzrāda preces vai

citus priekšmetus.

(3) Pēc puses pieprasījuma šķīrējtiesa uzaicina ekspertu pēc atzinuma došanas piedalīties šķīrējtiesas sēdē, lai sniegtu

paskaidrojumus un atbildētu uz pušu jautājumiem par atzinumu.

(4) Šķīrējtiesa nosaka kārtību, kādā starp pusēm tiek sadalīti izdevumi par eksperta pakalpojumiem.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

523.pants. Prasības nodrošināšana

(Izslēgts ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

524.pants. Puses izstāšanās procesuālās sekas

(1) Fakts, ka fiziskā persona, kas ir viena no pusēm, ir mirusi vai juridiskā persona, kas ir viena no pusēm, beigusi

pastāvēt, pats par sevi neizbeidz šķīrējtiesas līgumu, ja puses nav vienojušās citādi un apstrīdētā tiesiskā attiecība

pieļauj tiesību pārņemšanu.

(2) Šajā gadījumā šķīrējtiesa aptur šķīrējtiesas procesu līdz tiesību pārņēmēja noteikšanai.

175

(3) Prasījuma cesija vai parāda pārvede var būt par pamatu šķīrējtiesas procesa izbeigšanai tikai tajos gadījumos, kad

šķīrējtiesas līgums tiek atcelts likumā vai līgumā noteiktajā kārtībā.

525.pants. Tiesības uz iebildumiem

(1) Ja ir pārkāpts vai nav ievērots kāds no šķīrējtiesas procesa noteikumiem, puse, kas piedalās šķīrējtiesas procesā,

nekavējoties, tiklīdz tai par šo pārkāpumu ir kļuvis zināms vai vajadzētu kļūt zināmam, iesniedz šķīrējtiesai un otrai

pusei rakstveida iebildumus.

(2) Par iebildumu pamatotību lemj šķīrējtiesa.

(3) Ja puse neiesniedz iebildumus, uzskatāms, ka tā ir atteikusies no savām tiesībām celt šādus iebildumus.

526.pants. Protokols

(1) Šķīrējtiesas sēdes protokolē tikai tad, ja kāda no pusēm to pieprasa un ir iemaksājusi šķīrējtiesā atlīdzību par

sekretāra pakalpojumiem.

(2) Protokolu raksta šķīrējtiesas izraudzīts sekretārs.

(3) Protokolu paraksta visi šķīrējtiesneši un sekretārs. Pusēm ir tiesības iepazīties ar protokolu un piecu dienu laikā

pēc tā parakstīšanas iesniegt rakstveida piezīmes vai iebildumus par protokolu. Par iebildumu pamatotību vai piezīmju

atbilstību šķīrējtiesas sēdē notikušajam lemj šķīrējtiesa.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

527.pants. Procesa dokumentu glabāšana pēc šķīrējtiesas procesa pabeigšanas

(1) Ja strīdu izšķir pastāvīgā šķīrējtiesa, procesa dokumenti 10 gadus pēc šķīrējtiesas procesa pabeigšanas paliek

glabāšanā šķīrējtiesā. Šķīrējtiesa dokumentus glabā likumā noteiktajā arhīvu glabāšanas kārtībā.

(2) Ja strīdu izšķir šķīrējtiesa, kas izveidota konkrēta strīda izšķiršanai, procesa dokumenti tiek noformēti tādā

eksemplāru skaitā, lai pēc šķīrējtiesas procesa pabeigšanas tos vienā eksemplārā izsniegtu katrai pusei.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

65.nodaļa Šķīrējtiesas nolēmumi

528.pants. Nolēmumu pieņemšana šķīrējtiesā

(1) Visi nolēmumi (lēmumi un spriedumi) šķīrējtiesā, ja tā sastāv vairāk kā no viena šķīrējtiesneša, tiek pieņemti ar

vienkāršu balsu vairākumu.

(2) Šķīrējtiesas nolēmums stājas spēkā tā pieņemšanas dienā. Tas nav pārsūdzams, un par to nevar iesniegt protestu.

529.pants. Izlīgums

(1) Ja šķīrējtiesas procesa laikā puses noslēdz izlīgumu, šķīrējtiesa procesu izbeidz.

176

(2) Izlīgumu puses slēdz rakstveidā un tajā norāda: juridiskajām personām — nosaukumu, reģistrācijas numuru un

atrašanās vietu (juridisko adresi), fiziskajām personām — vārdu, uzvārdu, personas kodu un dzīvesvietu, kā arī strīda

priekšmetu un katras puses saistības, ko tās labprātīgi uzņemas pildīt.

(3) Pēc pušu pieprasījuma šķīrējtiesa ar savu lēmumu apstiprina izlīgumu, ja tā noteikumi nav pretrunā ar likumu.

Šādam lēmumam ir tāds pats juridisks spēks kā šķīrējtiesas spriedumam.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

530.pants. Šķīrējtiesas spriedums

(1) Šķīrējtiesa spriedumu taisa rakstveidā, un to paraksta šķīrējtiesneši. Ja šķīrējtiesa sastāv no vairākiem

šķīrējtiesnešiem, spriedumu paraksta visi šķīrējtiesneši, bet, ja kāds no šķīrējtiesnešiem neparaksta spriedumu,

šķīrējtiesas spriedumā norādāms iemesls, kāpēc nav viņa paraksta.

(2) Spriedumā norāda:

1) šķīrējtiesas sastāvu;

2) sprieduma taisīšanas datumu un vietu;

3) ziņas par pusēm;

4) strīda priekšmetu;

5) sprieduma motivējumu, ja vien puses nav vienojušās citādi;

6) secinājumu par prasības pilnīgu vai daļēju apmierināšanu vai par tās pilnīgu vai daļēju noraidīšanu un šķīrējtiesas

sprieduma būtību;

7) piedzenamo summu, ja spriedums taisīts par naudas piedziņu;

8) konkrēto mantu un tās vērtību, kas piedzenama mantas neesamības gadījumā, ja spriedums taisīts par mantas

atdošanu natūrā;

9) kam, kādas darbības un kādā termiņā jāizpilda, ja spriedums uzliek par pienākumu izpildīt noteiktas darbības;

10) kāda sprieduma daļa attiecas uz katru no prasītājiem, ja spriedums taisīts vairāku prasītāju labā, vai kāda

sprieduma daļa jāizpilda katram no atbildētājiem, ja spriedums taisīts pret vairākiem atbildētājiem;

11) šķīrējtiesas procesa izdevumus, kā arī šo izdevumu un izdevumu par juridisko palīdzību sadalījumu starp pusēm.

(3) Šķīrējtiesas sprieduma norakstu nosūta pusēm. Rakstveida procesa gadījumā šķīrējtiesa sprieduma norakstu

pusēm nosūta triju dienu laikā.

(4) Katra puse, paziņojot par to otrai pusei, līdz sprieduma izpildei var lūgt šķīrējtiesu:

1) izlabot jebkuru spriedumā pieļauto kļūdu aprēķinos, gramatisko vai drukas kļūdu. Šādas kļūdas šķīrējtiesa var

izlabot arī pēc savas iniciatīvas;

2) izskaidrot spriedumu. Sprieduma iz skaidrojums no tā pieņemšanas brīža kļūst par sprieduma neatņemamu

sastāvdaļu;

177

3) 30 dienu laikā no sprieduma nosūtīšanas dienas pieņemt papildu spriedumu, ja spriedumā nav izšķirta kāda līdz

sprieduma pieņemšanai iesniegtā prasība. Ja šķīrējtiesa uzskata lūgumu par pamatotu, tā šo lūgumu izlemj, taisot

papildu spriedumu.

(5) Šķīrējtiesa lemj, vai pušu piedalīšanās ir nepieciešama, šķīrējtiesai izlemjot šādu jautājumu.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.02.2005. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 10.03.2005.)

531.pants. Kārtība, kādā apliecināmi šķīrējtiesnešu paraksti uz nolēmuma

Pastāvīgā šķīrējtiesā kārtību, kādā apliecināmi šķīrējtiesnešu paraksti uz nolēmuma, nosaka pastāvīgās šķīrējtiesas

reglaments, bet šķīrējtiesā, kas izveidota konkrēta strīda izšķiršanai, pirms nolēmuma izsniegšanas šķīrējtiesnešu

parakstus apliecina notariāli.

532.pants. Šķīrējtiesas procesa izbeigšana

(1) Šķīrējtiesa pieņem lēmumu par šķīrējtiesas procesa izbeigšanu, ja:

1) prasītājs atsauc savu prasību un atbildētājs neiebilst pret to;

2) puses vienojas par strīda izbeigšanu ar izlīgumu;

3) šķīrējtiesas līgums likumā vai līgumā noteiktajā kārtībā zaudējis spēku;

4) šķīrējtiesa atzīst, ka strīds nav pakļauts šķīrējtiesai;

5) fiziskā persona, kas ir viena no pusēm, ir mirusi vai juridiskā persona, kas ir viena no pusēm, ir beigusi pastāvēt un

tiesiskā attiecība nepieļauj tiesību pārņemšanu vai puses ir vienojušās, ka process šādā gadījumā izbeidzams.

(2) Ja šķīrējtiesas process izbeigts šā panta pirmās daļas 1. vai 2.punktā norādīto iemeslu dēļ, atkārtota griešanās

šķīrējtiesā vai griešanās tiesā strīdā starp tām pašām pusēm, par to pašu priekšmetu un uz tā paša pamata nav

pieļaujama.

(3) Ja šķīrējtiesas process izbeigts šā panta pirmās daļas 3. vai 4.punktā norādīto iemeslu dēļ vai ja fiziskā persona,

kas ir viena no pusēm, ir mirusi vai juridiskā persona, kas ir viena no pusēm, ir beigusi pastāvēt un puses ir

vienojušās, ka šķīrējtiesas process šādā gadījumā izbeidzams, puses ir tiesīgas griezties tiesā.

533.pants. Šķīrējtiesas nolēmuma izpildīšanas kārtība

(1) Šķīrējtiesas nolēmums pusēm ir obligāts un izpildāms labprātīgi šajā nolēmumā noteiktajā termiņā. Labprātīgai

sprieduma izpildei nosaka termiņu, kas nav īsāks par piecām dienām.

(2) Ja pastāvīgās šķīrējtiesas nolēmums izpildāms Latvijā un labprātīgi netiek pildīts, ieinteresētā puse ir tiesīga

vērsties rajona (pilsētas) tiesā pēc parādnieka dzīvesvietas vai atrašanās vietas (juridiskās adreses) ar pieteikumu par

izpildu raksta izsniegšanu pastāvīgās šķīrējtiesas nolēmuma piespiedu izpildei.

sniegšanai, bet, ja paskaidrojumi nosūtīti pārējiem lietas dalībniekiem, — 10 dienu laikā no paskaidrojumu

179

nosūtīšanas dienas. Pieņemot lēmumu par izpildu raksta izsniegšanu, tiesnesis izlemj arī jautājumu, vai atlīdzināma

536.pants. Izpildu raksta izsniegšanas atteikuma pamats

Tiesnesis atsaka izpildu raksta izsniegšanu, ja:

1) konkrēto strīdu var izšķirt tikai tiesa;

2) šķīrējtiesas līgumu noslēgusi rīcībnespējīga persona;

3) šķīrējtiesas līgums likumā noteiktajā kārtībā ir atcelts vai atzīts par spēkā neesošu;

4) pusei nebija pienācīgā veidā paziņots par šķīrējtiesas procesu vai tā citu iemeslu dēļ nevarēja iesniegt savus

paskaidrojumus un tas būtiski ietekmējis šķīrējtiesas procesu;

5) pusei nebija pienācīgā veidā paziņots par šķīrējtiesnešu iecelšanu un tas būtiski ietekmējis šķīrējtiesas procesu;

līguma noteikumiem, vai arī tajā ir izšķirti jautājumi, kurus neietver šķīrējtiesas līgums. Šādā gadījumā izpildu rakstu

var izsniegt tajā šķīrējtiesas nolēmuma daļā, kura atbilst šķīrējtiesas līgumam, ja vien to var nošķirt no jautājumiem,

kas nav ietverti šķīrējtiesas līgumā.

parādnieku tā dzīvesvietā, viņš izsniedz priekšlikumu kādam no kopā ar parādnieku dzīvojošiem pieaugušajiem

ģimenes locekļiem.

vai priekšlikuma piegādātājs divu pieaicinātu personu klātbūtnē sastāda par to aktu. Atteikšanās pieņemt vai parakstīt

priekšlikumu nav šķērslis nolēmuma piespiedu izpildei.

(6) Ja priekšlikums piegādāts šajā pantā noteiktajā kārtībā, uzskatāms, ka parādniekam ir paziņots par nolēmuma

labprātīgas izpildes termiņu.

(7) Tiesu izpildītājs jebkurā izpildes procesa stadijā var:

1) pieprasīt, lai parādnieks deklarē savu mantisko stāvokli un pārmaiņas tajā pēdējā gada laikā, brīdinot parādnieku

par kriminālatbildību;

2) apķīlāt parādnieka mantu, tai skaitā apķīlāt naudas līdzekļus un noguldījumus kredītiestādē, naudas līdzekļus, kas

piedzinējs.

(2) Tiesu izpildītājs par sprieduma izpildes izdevumiem sastāda aprēķinu un nosūta parādniekam un piedzinējam.

Aprēķinu var pārsūdzēt šā likuma 632.pantā noteiktajā kārtībā.

apmērs nepārsniedz to mēneša ienākumu daļu, uz kuru pēc likuma var vērst piedziņu.

571.pants. Manta, uz kuru nedrīkst vērst piedziņu

Izpildot spriedumus, piedziņu nedrīkst vērst uz šā likuma 1.pielikumā minēto mantu, izņemot tādu parādu piedziņu,

kas nodrošināti, ieķīlājot attiecīgās lietas.

572.pants. Piedziņa no juridiskās personas

(1) Piedziņu pēc izpildu dokumentiem tiesu izpildītājs vispirms vērš uz juridiskās personas naudas līdzekļiem, kuri

atrodas kredītiestādēs.

572.1 pants. Piedziņa Uzturlīdzekļu garantiju fonda administrācijas labā

(1) Ja piedzinējs ir izteicis attiecīgu lūgumu un ja, piemērojot visus šā likuma 557.panta 1., 2. un 3.punktā norādītos

piespiedu izpildes līdzekļus, tiesu izpildītājs konstatē, ka uzturlīdzekļu piedziņa no parādnieka nav iespējama vai

iespējama tādā apmērā, kas ir mazāks par Ministru kabineta noteikto minimālo uzturlīdzekļu apmēru, tiesu izpildītājs

izsniedz piedzinējam izziņu par uzturlīdzekļu piedziņas neiespējamību vai daļēju piedziņu iesniegšanai Uzturlīdzekļu

garantiju fonda administrācijai.

(2) Ja Uzturlīdzekļu garantiju fonda administrācija, pamatojoties uz Uzturlīdzekļu garantiju fonda likuma 5.panta otrās

daļas 1.punktu, stājusies piedzinēja vietā uzturlīdzekļu piedziņas lietā daļā par to uzturlīdzekļu piedziņu no

parādnieka, kuri izmaksāti no Uzturlīdzekļu garantiju fonda, tai ir visas šajā likumā noteiktās piedzinēja tiesības un

pienākumi.

(3) Uzturlīdzekļu garantiju fonda administrācijas izpildrīkojumu par nepamatoti izmaksāto uzturlīdzekļu summu

uzturlīdzekļu piedziņas neiespējamību vai daļēju piedziņu, izpildu dokumentu piedzinējam izsniedz tikai pēc tam, kad

no Uzturlīdzekļu garantiju fonda administrācijas saņemts apliecinājums par prasījuma neesamību.

573.pants. Parādnieka kustamās mantas apķīlāšana

(1) Parādnieka kustamās mantas apķīlāšana izpaužas šīs mantas aprakstīšanā, apzīmogošanā (norādot, kas un kādā

lietā mantu apķīlājis) un apsardzībā. Mantas apzīmogošanu var neveikt, ja tas var bojāt mantu vai būtiski ietekmēt tās

vērtību. Kustamo lietu reģistros iekļautās mantas nav apzīmogojamas. Ministru kabinets nosaka apķīlāto kustamo lietu

apzīmogošanas kārtību.

(2) (Izslēgta ar 05.02.2009. likumu.)

(3) Tiesu izpildītājs kustamās lietas neapķīlā, ja varētu būt neiespējami tās pārdot un sprieduma izpildes izdevumi

varētu pārsniegt no pārdošanas iegūstamo naudas summu.

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 07.09.2006. un 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā

01.03.2009.)

197

574.pants. Parādnieka kustamās mantas apķīlāšanas vispārīgie noteikumi

(1) Tiesu izpildītājs apķīlā parādnieka kustamo mantu tādā daudzumā, kāds nepieciešams, lai dzēstu piedzenamo

summu un segtu sprieduma izpildes izdevumus. Tiesu izpildītājs neapķīlā galvenās lietas blakus lietas šķirti no

galvenās lietas.

(2) Tiesu izpildītājs var apķīlāt parādnieka kustamo mantu, kuras vērtība pārsniedz piedzinējam piespriesto summu un

sprieduma izpildes izdevumus, ja parādniekam nav citas apķīlāšanai pakļautas mantas vai šo mantu vērtība nesedz

piedzenamo summu un sprieduma izpildes izdevumus.

(3) Pēc kustamās mantas apķīlāšanas tiesu izpildītājs pieprasa ziņas no kustamo lietu reģistriem par šādu lietu

piederību parādniekam, kā arī komercķīlu reģistrā noskaidro, vai parādniekam piederošās kustamās lietas nav

ieķīlātas. Ja tiesu izpildītājs konstatē, ka apķīlātā manta pieder trešajām personām, viņš nekavējoties atbrīvo to no

apķīlājuma. Ja komercķīlu reģistrā uz parādnieka kustamo mantu ir reģistrēta komercķīla par labu trešajām

personām, tiesu izpildītājs pieprasa, lai parādnieks un komercķīlas ņēmējs paziņo par atlikušo parāda apmēru.

(4) Uz kustamām lietām, kas ieķīlātas kā komercķīla vai rokas ķīla trešo personu prasījumu nodrošināšanai, tiesu

izpildītājs var vērst piedziņu ar attiecīgā ķīlas ņēmēja piekrišanu, kā arī var vērst piedziņu uz naudas pārpalikumu ķīlas

pārdošanas gadījumā. Ja ķīlas ņēmējs pārdošanai nepiekrīt un pats bez attaisnojoša iemesla vilcinās pārdot ieķīlāto

lietu, tiesu izpildītājs izskaidro piedzinējam, ka viņš var lūgt tiesu noteikt laiku ieķīlāto lietu pārdošanai, lai varētu

vērst piedziņu uz naudas pārpalikumu, kā arī izskaidro tiesības nodibināt komercķīlu.

(5) Ja tiesu izpildītājs konstatē, ka kustamā manta jau ir apķīlāta citai piedziņai, viņš salīdzina mantu ar iepriekšējā

apķīlāšanā sastādīto mantas aprakstes aktu un apķīlā tikai tos priekšmetus, kas nav ierakstīti agrākajā aprakstes

aktā.

(6) Ja parādnieks atrodas prombūtnē vai izvairās no nolēmuma izpildes, kustamo mantu apķīlā tiesu izpildītājs,

piedaloties pašvaldības vai policijas pārstāvim.

(7) Pie parādnieka kustamās mantas apķīlāšanas parādniekam un piedzinējam ir tiesības pieaicināt ne vairāk kā divus

lieciniekus. Liecinieku neierašanās neaptur mantas apķīlāšanu.

(8) Notiekot kustamās mantas apķīlāšanai, parādnieks ir tiesīgs paziņot tiesu izpildītājam, uz kuriem priekšmetiem

vispirms būtu vēršama piedziņa. Tiesu izpildītājs šādu pieteikumu apmierina, ja tas nav pretrunā ar šā likuma normām

un nekavē nolēmuma izpildi.

(9) (Izslēgta ar 05.02.2009. likumu.)

(10) Kuģa apķīlājums attiecas ne vien uz kuģa korpusu, bet arī uz visiem kuģa piederumiem, ieskaitot tos, kuri

nodrošina kuģa navigāciju. Kopīpašumā esošs kuģis apķīlājams visā tā sastāvā, iepriekš neatdalot parādnieka tiesības

uz viņa daļu. Par kuģa apķīlāšanu paziņo Kuģu reģistram.

(11) Ja tiek apķīlāts transportlīdzeklis vai cita reģistrācijai pakļauta kustamā manta, par tās apķīlāšanu tiesu izpildītājs

paziņo attiecīgajai reģistra iestādei.

kārtībā.

(2) (Izslēgta ar 31.10.2002. likumu.)

(3) Ja parādnieka mantas atrašanās pie citas personas noteikta ar savstarpēji noslēgtu līgumu, jautājumu par citas

personas no līguma izrietošo tiesību saglabāšanu izšķir tiesa prasības kārtībā.

199

10) to, ka mantas glabātājam izskaidrota aprakstītās mantas glabāšanas kārtība, viņa civiltiesiskā atbildība, kā arī

kriminālatbildība, ja glabāšanā nodoto mantu izšķērdē, atsavina, slēpj vai apmaina;

11) piedzinēja, parādnieka vai citu mantas aprakstē klātesošo personu izteiktās piezīmes un iebildumus.

(2) Mantas aprakstes aktu paraksta tiesu izpildītājs, piedzinējs, parādnieks, mantas glabātājs un citas personas, kuras

piedalījušās mantas aprakstē. Ja piedzinējs, parādnieks vai viņu pārstāvji mantas aprakstes aktu neparaksta, tiesu

izpildītājs par to aktā izdara atzīmi.

(3) Piedzinējam vai parādniekam, kas parakstījis aprakstes aktu bez jebkādām piezīmēm, nav tiesību vēlāk iesniegt

sūdzību par aprakstes akta nepareizību.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.01.2003.)

578.pants. Apķīlājamās mantas novērtēšana

(1) Parādnieka mantas novērtēšanu izdara tiesu izpildītājs pēc šai apvidū esošajām cenām, ievērojot tās nolietojuma

pakāpi. Kuģa novērtēšanai pieaicināms eksperts.

(2) Līdz apķīlātās mantas izsoles izziņošanai vai komisijas līguma noslēgšanai piedzinējs vai parādnieks rakstveidā var

579.pants. Mantas apsardzība

(1) Lai nodrošinātu apķīlātās mantas apsardzību, tiesu izpildītājs ieceļ mantas glabātāju. Apķīlāto parādnieka mantu

tiesu izpildītājs nodod glabāšanā fiziskajai personai pret parakstu. Ja mantas glabātājs nevar nodrošināt apķīlātās

mantas apsardzību tajā adresē, kur tā apķīlāta, tiesu izpildītājs mantu izņem un nodod mantas glabātājam. Tiesu

izpildītājs jebkurā nolēmuma izpildes stadijā ir tiesīgs pieņemt lēmumu par mantas glabātāja nomaiņu, ja glabātājs

nevar turpināt savu pienākumu pildīšanu vai nenodrošina pienācīgu mantas glabāšanu.

(2) Parādnieks vai viņa ģimenes locekļi var lietot viņu glabāšanā atstāto mantu, ja šīs mantas īpašību dēļ tās lietošana

var saukt pie kriminālatbildības.

(5) Mantas glabātājs pēc tiesu izpildītāja pieprasījuma uzrāda apķīlāto un viņam glabāšanā nodoto mantu.

sūdzības par tiesu izpildītāja darbībām vai nav iesniegts lūgums par eksperta pieaicināšanu atkārtotai mantas

novērtēšanai. Ja iesniegtas sūdzības, tiesu izpildītājam ir tiesības pārdot parādnieka mantu pēc sūdzību izlemšanas,

bet ne agrāk par 10 dienām pēc mantas apķīlāšanas. Ja iesniegts lūgums par eksperta pieaicināšanu, — pēc mantas

atkārtotas novērtēšanas vai lūguma noraidīšanas, bet ne agrāk par 10 dienām pēc mantas apķīlāšanas.

(2) Gadījumos, kad sevišķu apstākļu dēļ nolēmuma izpildes kavēšanās var radīt ievērojamus zaudējumus piedzinējam

vai arī pati piedziņa var kļūt neiespējama, manta izņemama un pārdodama nekavējoties.

(3) Apķīlāto mantu tiesu izpildītājs var pārdot izsolē kā vienu izsoles priekšmetu, ja ir apķīlātas vienādas lietas vai

1) lai nodotu to pārdošanai komisijā;

2) pirms pārdošanas izsolē, ja tas nepieciešams;

3) lai šajā likumā noteiktajos gadījumos to nodotu kustamās mantas nosolītājam, piedzinējam vai parādniekam.

pārdošana apturama un apķīlātā manta atdodama parādniekam.

(5) Pēc apķīlātās mantas pārdošanas vai tās nodošanas piedzinējam (šajā likumā noteiktajos gadījumos) tiesu

izpildītājs pieņem lēmumu par pārdotās mantas atbrīvošanu no apķīlājuma, kā arī nosūta attiecīgajam kustamo lietu

eksperta novērtēšanas, — pēc augstākās eksperta novērtētās cenas.

(4) Lietas, kas ātri bojājas, izņem un nodod pārdošanai nekavējoties.

(5) Mēneša laikā pēc mantas nodošanas komisijā tirdzniecības uzņēmumi iemaksā ieņemtās summas tiesu izpildītāja

kopā ar tirdzniecības uzņēmuma pārstāvi pārceno, bet ne vairāk kā par 50 procentiem no mantas sākumcenas. Par

pārcenošanu paziņo piedzinējam un parādniekam.

587.pants. Kustamo lietu izsoles kārtība

(1) Kustamās mantas izsole tiek uzsākta no tiesu izpildītāja novērtējuma, bet, ja ir veikta viena vai vairākas

atkārtotas novērtēšanas, — no augstākā eksperta novērtējuma. Uzsākot katra izsoles priekšmeta izsolīšanu, tiesu

izpildītājs nosauc priekšmeta izsoles sākumcenu, nosaka izsoles soli, ne mazāku par vienu procentu un ne lielāku par

10 procentiem no mantas izsoles sākumcenas, un jautā izsoles dalībniekiem, vai kāds sola vairāk. Solītāju solītās

cenas tiesu izpildītājs paziņo mutvārdos un ieraksta izsoles aktā, kamēr vien turpinās pārsolīšana.

(2) Pārsolīšanai beidzoties, tiesu izpildītājs trīs reizes jautā, vai neviens nesola vairāk. Ja pēc trešās reizes neseko

pārsolījums, tiesu izpildītājs izdara piesitienu un paziņo, ka pārsolījumus vairs nepieņem un izsolāmais priekšmets ir

pārdots.

(3) Kuģa izsole notiek pēc noteikumiem, kādi paredzēti nekustamā īpašuma izsolei.

(4) Parādniekam ir tiesības noteikt priekšmetu izsolīšanas secību.

(5) Ja summa, kas saņemta, pārdodot daļu no apķīlātās mantas, ir pietiekama pilnīgai piedzenamās summas dzēšanai

un sprieduma izpildes izdevumu segšanai, pārējos priekšmetus neizsola. Kad solītāji ir samaksājuši pilnu pirkuma

maksu, šie priekšmeti atbrīvojami no apķīlājuma un atdodami atpakaļ parādniekam, un tiesu izpildītājs par to sastāda

aktu.

(6) Personai, kura nosolījusi pārdodamo priekšmetu, nekavējoties jāsamaksā vismaz piektā daļa no solītās cenas, bet

pilna nosolītā summa — ne vēlāk kā nākamajā darbdienā pēc izsoles. Ja nosolītā summa pārsniedz vienu tūkstoti latu,

tiesu izpildītājs pēc nosolītāja lūguma var atlikt pilnas pirkuma cenas samaksu uz laiku līdz septiņām dienām. Kad

izsolē nosolītā summa samaksāta pilnībā, nopirktie priekšmeti nododami nosolītājam, un tiesu izpildītājs par to

sastāda aktu.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002. un 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

588.pants. Izsoles akts

Izsoles aktā tiesu izpildītājs norāda:

1) izsoles dienu un vietu;

2) tiesu izpildītāja vārdu, uzvārdu, amata vietu un prakses vietu;

3) nolēmumu, kas tiek pildīts;

4) pārdodamā priekšmeta nosaukumu vai numuru pēc aprakstes akta;

203

5) pārdodamā priekšmeta izsoles sākumcenu un izsoles soli;

6) izsolē solīto augstāko cenu;

7) nosolītāja vārdu, uzvārdu, personas kodu un adresi;

8) vai pie pārdošanas bijis klāt parādnieks vai viņa pārstāvis.

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

589.pants. Izsoles pasludināšana par nenotikušu

(1) Tiesu izpildītājs pasludina izsoli par nenotikušu, ja:

1) izsolē nav ieradies neviens solītājs vai ieradies tikai viens solītājs;

2) neviens no tiem, kas ieradušies, nesola vairāk par izsoles sākumcenu;

3) nosolītājs noteiktā termiņā nesamaksā visu summu, par kuru viņš mantu nosolījis.

(2) Šā panta pirmās daļas 3.punktā paredzētajā gadījumā pēc nosolīšanas iemaksātā nauda netiek atmaksāta, bet

pievienojama kopsummai, kas ieņemta par mantu.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

590.pants. Par nenotikušu pasludinātas izsoles sekas un otrā izsole

(1) Ja izsole pasludināta par nenotikušu, piedzinējam ir tiesības paturēt apķīlāto mantu par izsoles sākumcenu,

rakstveidā paziņojot par to tiesu izpildītājam divu nedēļu laikā no izsoles dienas.

(2) Ja vairāki piedzinēji vēlas paturēt apķīlāto mantu sev par izsoles sākumcenu, rīkojama atkārtota pirmā izsole, kurā

piedalās piedzinēji, kas vēlas paturēt apķīlāto mantu sev par sākumcenu, un solīšana sākas no pirmās izsoles

sākumcenas. Par izsoles laiku un vietu tiesu izpildītājs rakstveidā paziņo piedzinējiem septiņas dienas iepriekš.

Piedzinēja neierašanās uz izsoli tiek uzskatīta par viņa atteikšanos no tiesībām paturēt mantu sev. Ja uz izsoli ierodas

viens piedzinējs, viņš var paturēt apķīlāto mantu bez solīšanas. Ja uz izsoli neierodas neviens piedzinējs, tiesu

izpildītājs nekavējoties nosaka otro izsoli.

(3) Ja piedzinēja pieteikums par apķīlātās mantas paturēšanu par izsoles sākumcenu nav saņemts divu nedēļu laikā

no izsoles dienas, tiesu izpildītājs nekavējoties nosaka otro izsoli. Otro izsoli izziņo, ievērojot pirmās izsoles

noteikumus.

(4) Solīšana kustamās mantas otrajā izsolē tiek uzsākta no pirmās izsoles sākumcenas un notiek, ievērojot šā likuma

587.panta pirmajā daļā paredzēto kārtību.

(5) Ja neviens no tiem, kas ieradušies, nesola vairāk par izsoles sākumcenu, tiesu izpildītājs paziņo, ka tiek uzsākta

priekšmeta izsolīšana ar lejupejošu soli. Tiesu izpildītājs pazemina priekšmeta izsoles sākumcenu par iepriekš noteikto

soli, kas nedrīkst būt lielāks par 10 procentiem no izsoles sākumcenas, un prasa, vai kāds no klātesošajiem sola šo

cenu. Par katru cenas pazeminājumu tiesu izpildītājs izdara atzīmi izsoles aktā. Tiesu izpildītājs pārtrauc priekšmeta

izsolīšanu, ja neviens no tiem, kas ieradušies, nesola pat 10 procentus no priekšmeta izsoles sākumcenas.

(6) Ja kāds no otrajā izsolē klātesošajiem sola nosaukto priekšmeta cenu, tiesu izpildītājs trīs reizes jautā, vai neviens

nesola vairāk, un, ja neseko pārsolījums, izdara piesitienu un paziņo, ka pārsolījumus vairs nepieņem un izsolāmais

204

priekšmets ir pārdots. Ja kāds sola vairāk, izsole turpinās ar augšupejošu soli, ievērojot šā likuma 587.panta otrās

daļas noteikumus.

(7) Persona, kura nosolījusi pārdodamo priekšmetu zem otrās izsoles sākumcenas, nekavējoties samaksā visu nosolīto

summu. Persona, kura nosolījusi pārdodamo priekšmetu par cenu, kas ir augstāka par sākumcenu, nosolīto cenu

maksā un nopirkto priekšmetu saņem šā likuma 587.pantā noteiktajā kārtībā.

(8) Ja arī otrā izsole pasludināta par nenotikušu un piedzinējs divu nedēļu laikā pēc otrās izsoles nav paziņojis par

vēlēšanos apķīlāto mantu paturēt sev par pēdējo solīto vai tiesu izpildītāja nosaukto cenu, manta atdodama

parādniekam, atbrīvojot to no apķīlājuma, un tiesu izpildītājs par to sastāda aktu.

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā, kas stājas spēkā 01.01.2003.)

591.pants. Izsoles atzīšana par spēkā neesošu

(1) Tiesa izsoli atzīst par spēkā neesošu, ja:

1) kādam nepamatoti nav atļauts piedalīties izsolē vai nepareizi atraidīts kāds pārsolījums;

2) mantu nopirkusi tāda persona, kura nav bijusi tiesīga piedalīties izsolē;

3) manta pārdota pirms termiņa, kāds noteikts paziņojumā par pārdošanu;

4) tiesu izpildītājs, piedzinējs vai pircējs pieļāvis ļaunprātības.

(2) Par tiesas lēmumu var iesniegt blakus sūdzību.

(3) Ja nav zināms nekustamā īpašuma valdītājs vai pārvaldnieks, tiesu izpildītājs pēc saviem ieskatiem var iecelt

nekustamā īpašuma pārvaldnieku. Tiesu izpildītāja ieceltajam nekustamā īpašuma pārvaldītājam ir tāda pati atbildība

kā šajā likumā noteiktajam kustamās mantas glabātājam.

(4) Nekustamā īpašuma valdītājam un pārvaldniekam jādod norēķins tiesu izpildītājam par aprakstītā īpašuma

pārvaldīšanas laiku. Saņemtie ienākumi no nekustamā īpašuma nododami tiesu izpildītājam un pievienojami summai,

kas ieņemta, šo īpašumu pārdodot.

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā, kas stājas spēkā 01.01.2003.)

606.pants. Nekustamā īpašuma izsoles izziņošana

(1) Nekustamā īpašuma izsoli, ja šā likuma 604.pantā noteiktajā termiņā nav iesniegts lūgums par nekustamā

īpašuma jaunu novērtēšanu vai tas ir noraidīts, tiesu izpildītājs izziņo vismaz vienu mēnesi pirms izsoles. Pēc

piedzinēja lūguma izsoli var izziņot vismaz divus mēnešus pirms izsoles, bet ne vēlāk kā vienu mēnesi pirms izsoles.

(2) Sludinājumu par nekustamā īpašuma izsoli tiesu izpildītājs publicē laikrakstā "Latvijas Vēstnesis" un vismaz divas

nedēļas pirms izsoles izliek pie pārdodamā nekustamā īpašuma un tiesu izpildītāja prakses vietā.

(3) Sludinājumā par nekustamā īpašuma izsoli norāda:

vietu (juridisko adresi);

2) tiesu izpildītāja vārdu, uzvārdu, amata vietu un prakses vietu;

3) nekustamā īpašuma īsu aprakstu, atrašanās vietu un kadastra numuru;

5) (izslēgts ar 05.02.2009. likumu);

6) ka visām personām, kurām uz nekustamo īpašumu ir tiesības, kas nepieļauj tā pārdošanu izsolē, jāpieteic savas

prasības tiesā līdz izsoles dienai;

7) kura izsole pēc kārtas tā ir;

8) izsoles laiku un vietu;

9) nodrošinājuma summu, kas iemaksājama tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā.

(4) Par nekustamā īpašuma izsoli tiesu izpildītājs vismaz divas nedēļas iepriekš ierakstītā sūtījumā paziņo

parādniekam un piedzinējam, nekustamā īpašuma īpašniekam, kopīpašniekam, hipotekārajam kreditoram un

personai, kuras labā nostiprināta ķīlas tiesību vai aizlieguma atzīme, ja tāda ir.

(5) No izsoles izsludināšanas dienas visi dokumenti, kas attiecas uz pārdošanu izsolē, ir pieejami visām personām,

kuras vēlas ar tiem iepazīties.

(6) Izziņojot nekustamā īpašuma izsoli, piemērojami arī šā likuma 584.panta ceturtās daļas noteikumi.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002., 05.02.2009. un 17.12.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.02.2010.)

607.pants. Nekustamā īpašuma pirkuma nodrošinājums

(1) Personas, kuras vēlas piedalīties nekustamā īpašuma izsolē, iemaksā tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā

nodrošinājumu 10 procentu apmērā no nekustamā īpašuma novērtējuma.

(2) Pirms izsoles tiesu izpildītājs pārliecinās, vai nodrošinājuma summa ir ieskaitīta tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā.

(3) Nodrošinājumu, ko iemaksājusi persona, kura izsolē nopirkusi nekustamo īpašumu, ieskaita pirkuma maksā.

Pārējiem izsoles dalībniekiem iemaksāto nodrošinājumu pēc izsoles nekavējoties izsniedz atpakaļ.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.01.2003.)

607.1 pants. Izsoles sākumcena

Izsole sākas no nekustamā īpašuma novērtējumā norādītās piespiedu pārdošanas vērtības. Ja ir bijušas divas

novērtēšanas, izsole sākas no augstākās nekustamā īpašuma novērtējuma summas.

(05.02.2009. likuma redakcijā, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

608.pants. Nekustamā īpašuma izsoles kārtība

(1) Pirms izsoles personas, kuras ieradušās uz izsoli, uzrāda tiesu izpildītājam personu un pilnvarojumu (pārstāvības

tiesības) apliecinošus dokumentus un iesniedz šo dokumentu kopijas. Uzsākot izsoli, tiesu izpildītājs nosauc

pārdodamo nekustamo īpašumu, izsoles sākumcenu un nosaka izsoles soli, ne mazāku par vienu procentu un ne

lielāku par 10 procentiem no nekustamā īpašuma izsoles sākumcenas. Pēc tam tiesu izpildītājs jautā izsoles

dalībniekiem, vai kāds sola vairāk. Kamēr vien turpinās pārsolīšana, solītāju solītās cenas tiesu izpildītājs paziņo

mutvārdos un ieraksta izsoles aktā, norādot solītāja vārdu un uzvārdu.

(11) Solīšanā nav tiesību piedalīties parādniekam, viņa aizbildnim vai aizgādnim, personai, kas piedalījusies nekustamā

īpašuma aprakstē, kā arī tiesu izpildītājam, kas rīko izsoli. Par citos normatīvajos aktos noteikto ierobežojumu

ievērošanu attiecībā uz nekustamo īpašumu iegādi ir atbildīgi paši izsoles dalībnieki.

(2) Pārsolīšanai beidzoties, tiesu izpildītājs trīs reizes jautā, vai neviens nesola vairāk. Ja pēc trešās reizes neseko

pārsolījums, tiesu izpildītājs izdara piesitienu un paziņo, ka pārsolījumus vairs nepieņem un izsolāmais nekustamais

īpašums ir pārdots.

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

609.pants. Divkāršā izsole

(1) Divkāršo izsoli var pieprasīt hipotekārais kreditors, ja zemesgrāmatā pēc hipotēkas nostiprināšanas bez viņa

piekrišanas ierakstīts tāds nekustamā īpašuma apgrūtinājums, kas var ietekmēt hipotekārā kreditora apmierinājuma

apmēru, un izsole notiek tieši viņa vai par viņu agrāk zemesgrāmatā ierakstīta hipotekārā kreditora prasījuma

piedziņai.

(2) Nekustamais īpašums pārdodams izsolē ar nosacījumu, ka minētais apgrūtinājums atstājams, un ar nosacījumu,

ka minētais apgrūtinājums dzēšams.

(3) Ja neviens nevēlas iegūt nekustamo īpašumu ar atstāto apgrūtinājumu, tas paliek nosolītājam ar nosacījumu, ka

apgrūtinājums dzēšams.

212

(4) Ja ir solītāji, kas vēlas pirkt nekustamo īpašumu, gan atstājot apgrūtinājumu, gan to dzēšot, nekustamais īpašums

paliek nosolītājam ar nosacījumu dzēst apgrūtinājumu tikai tad, ja nosolītā cena pārsniedz ne vien augstāko cenu,

kāda solīta ar nosacījumu atstāt apgrūtinājumu, bet arī to prasījumu summu, kuriem ir priekšrocība salīdzinājumā ar

tā hipotekārā kreditora prasījumiem, kurš lūdzis izdarīt divkāršo izsoli.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.01.2003.)

610.pants. Izsoles akts

(1) Izsoles aktā tiesu izpildītājs norāda:

1) izsoles dienu un vietu;

2) tiesu izpildītāja vārdu, uzvārdu, amata vietu un prakses vietu;

3) nolēmumu, kas tiek pildīts;

4) kāds nekustamais īpašums tiek izsolīts un izsoles sākumcenu;

5) personas, kas piedalās izsolē kā piedzinēji, parādnieki un solītāji;

6) izsolē solītās cenas un solītāja vārdu un uzvārdu;

7) augstāko nosolīto cenu, nosolītāja vārdu un uzvārdu vai nosaukumu, personas kodu vai reģistrācijas numuru un

adresi;

8) apgrūtinājumus, ja nekustamo īpašumu pārdod ar nosacījumu, ka tie atstājami.

(2) Izsoles aktu paraksta tiesu izpildītājs, nosolītājs, pēdējais pārsolītais solītājs, piedzinējs un parādnieks, ja viņi

bijuši izsolē, kā arī amatpersonas, kas bijušas klāt izsolē.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002. un 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

611.pants. Izsoles sekas

(1) Nekustamais īpašums paliek tam, kas solījis augstāku cenu nekā citi.

(2) Nosolītājam viena mēneša laikā pēc izsoles jāsamaksā visa summa, ko viņš nosolījis. Par visas summas samaksu

uzskatāma arī tiesu izpildītājam iesniegta bankas pieprasījuma garantijas vēstule, kurā norādīts garantijas priekšmets,

summa un termiņš, kas nevar būt īsāks par trijiem mēnešiem, skaitot no izsoles akta apstiprināšanas dienas, ja šādai

pieprasījuma garantijas vēstules izmantošanai piekritis piedzinējs un hipotekārais kreditors.

(3) Pēc tam, kad nekustamā īpašuma nosolītājs samaksājis visu no viņa pienākošos summu, tiesu izpildītājs izsoles

aktu iesniedz apstiprināšanai apgabaltiesā, kuras darbības teritorijā atrodas nekustamais īpašums.

(31) Pēc tam, kad tiesu izpildītājs iesniedz bankai tiesas lēmuma norakstu par izsoles akta apstiprināšanu, banka triju

dienu laikā ieskaita tiesu izpildītāja depozītu kontā bankas pieprasījuma garantijas vēstulē norādīto summu.

(4) Ja nosolītājs noteiktā termiņā nesamaksā visu no viņa pienākošos summu, iemaksātais nodrošinājums

pievienojams pie kopējās par īpašumu saņemtās summas un sadalāms tādā pašā kārtībā kā šī summa. Iemaksātais

nodrošinājums pievienojams pie kopējās summas arī tad, ja tiek konstatēts, ka nosolītājam nebija tiesību piedalīties

izsolē (608.panta 1.1 daļa).

213

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002., 05.02.2009. un 17.12.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.02.2010.)

612.pants. Pirkuma maksas ieskaits

(1) Nosolītājam atļauts ieskaitīt pirkuma summā savu hipotekāro prasījumu, kas pamatots ar izpildu dokumentu, kā

arī citus hipotekāros parādus, ja hipotekārie kreditori piekrīt tos atstāt uz nekustamo īpašumu, pārvedot šos parādus

uz nosolītāju.

(2) Ja ar pārdošanā ieņemto summu nepietiek visu piedziņu un hipotekāro parādu apmierināšanai, nosolītājs var

ieskaitīt pirkuma cenā savus prasījumus tikai tās summas apmērā, kāda viņam saskaņā ar aprēķinu pienākas pēc tam,

kad segti tie prasījumi, kuriem salīdzinājumā ar viņa prasījumu ir priekšrocība.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

613.pants. Nekustamā īpašuma izsoles akta apstiprināšana

(1) Lietu par nekustamā īpašuma nostiprināšanu uz ieguvēja (persona, kas pārņēmusi nekustamo īpašumu, vai

nosolītājs) vārda tiesa izskata tiesas sēdē 15 dienu laikā no tiesu izpildītāja pieteikuma iesniegšanas tiesā. Par lietas

izskatīšanu tiesa paziņo tiesu izpildītājam, kā arī piedzinējam, parādniekam, nekustamā īpašuma ieguvējam,

nekustamā īpašuma īpašniekam, kopīpašniekam, hipotekārajam kreditoram, personai, kuras labā nostiprināta ķīlas

tiesību vai aizlieguma atzīme, un personai, kura iesniegusi šā likuma 617.panta otrajā daļā minēto sūdzību, ja šāda

sūdzība ir iesniegta. Šo personu neierašanās nav šķērslis lietas izskatīšanai.

(2) Vienlaikus ar pieteikumu par nekustamā īpašuma nostiprināšanu uz ieguvēja vārda tiesa var izskatīt arī sūdzību

par tiesu izpildītāja rīcību, ja sūdzības iesniedzējs lūdz atzīt izsoli par spēkā neesošu (617.panta otrā daļa).

(3) Apmierinot pieteikumu, tiesa pieņem lēmumu:

1) par izsoles akta apstiprināšanu un pārdotā nekustamā īpašuma nostiprināšanu uz ieguvēja vārda;

2) neatkarīgi no kreditora piekrišanas — par visu zemesgrāmatā uz šo īpašumu ierakstīto parādu saistību dzēšanu, par

kurām ieguvējs nav tieši paziņojis, ka uzņemas tās uz sevi;

3) neatkarīgi no kreditora piekrišanas — par to apgrūtinājumu dzēšanu, kas pieņemti kā nosacījums, īpašumu iegūstot

(609.pants);

4) par zemesgrāmatā uz šo īpašumu ierakstīto aizlieguma atzīmju dzēšanu;

5) par sūdzības par izsoles atzīšanu par spēkā neesošu noraidīšanu, ja šāda sūdzība ir iesniegta.

(4) Noraidot pieteikumu, tiesa atzīst izsoli par spēkā neesošu.

(5) Pēc ieguvēja lūguma tiesa lemj par viņa ievešanu iegūtā nekustamā īpašuma valdījumā.

(51) Pēc tās bankas lūguma, kuras izsniegtā pieprasījuma garantijas vēstule izmantota pirkuma summas samaksai,

tiesa lemj par ķīlas tiesības nodibināšanu uz pārdoto nekustamo īpašumu.

(6) Par tiesas lēmumu var iesniegt blakus sūdzību.

(7) Šajā pantā noteiktajā kārtībā tiesa apstiprina arī kuģa izsoles aktu.

(05.02.2009. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.12.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.02.2010.)

214

614.pants. Nenotikusi izsole

(1) Tiesu izpildītājs izsoli atzīst par nenotikušu, ja:

1) izsolē nav ieradies neviens solītājs;

2) neviens no tiem, kas ieradušies izsolē, nepārsola sākumcenu;

3) nosolītājs noteiktā termiņā nesamaksā visu summu, par kuru viņš nosolījis nekustamo īpašumu.

(2) Par to, ka izsole uzskatāma par nenotikušu šā panta pirmās daļas 1. vai 2.punktā minētajos gadījumos, tiesu

izpildītājs ieraksta aktā un paziņo personām, kas ieradušās uz izsoli, kā arī parādniekam, nekustamā īpašuma

īpašniekam, kopīpašniekam, ja nekustamais īpašums atrodas kopīpašumā, un kreditoriem, ja šīs personas nav bijušas

klāt izsolē.

(3) Par to, ka izsole uzskatāma par nenotikušu šā panta pirmās daļas 3.punktā minētajā gadījumā, tiesu izpildītājs

sastāda aktu un paziņo nosolītājam, pēdējam pārsolītajam solītājam, parādniekam, nekustamā īpašuma īpašniekam,

kopīpašniekam, ja nekustamais īpašums atrodas kopīpašumā, un kreditoriem.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002., 19.06.2003. un 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

615.pants. Nenotikušas izsoles sekas

(1) Ja izsole atzīta par nenotikušu šā likuma 614.panta pirmās daļas 1. un 2.punktā paredzēto iemeslu dēļ, tiesu

izpildītājs nekavējoties paziņo par to visiem kreditoriem un parādnieka līdzīpašniekiem, uzaicinot viņus paturēt

nekustamo īpašumu sev par nenotikušās izsoles sākumcenu. Katram kreditoram un parādnieka līdzīpašniekam ir

tiesības divu nedēļu laikā no tiesu izpildītāja uzaicinājuma nosūtīšanas dienas paziņot tiesu izpildītājam par nekustamā

īpašuma paturēšanu sev.

(2) Ja izsole atzīta par nenotikušu šā likuma 614.panta pirmās daļas 3.punktā paredzētā iemesla dēļ, tiesu izpildītājs

nekavējoties paziņo par to pēdējam pārsolītajam solītājam, uzaicinot viņu paturēt nekustamo īpašumu par viņa solīto

augstāko cenu. Pēdējam pārsolītajam solītājam ir tiesības divu nedēļu laikā no tiesu izpildītāja uzaicinājuma

nosūtīšanas dienas paziņot tiesu izpildītājam par nekustamā īpašuma paturēšanu sev. Ja pēdējais pārsolītais solītājs

nav likumā noteiktajā termiņā paziņojis par nekustamā īpašuma paturēšanu vai atteicies paturēt nekustamo īpašumu,

katram kreditoram vai parādnieka kopīpašniekam ir tiesības divu nedēļu laikā no tiesu izpildītāja uzaicinājuma

nosūtīšanas dienas paziņot par nekustamā īpašuma paturēšanu sev par rīkotās izsoles sākumcenu.

(3) Ja vairākas personas vēlas paturēt nekustamo īpašumu sev, rīkojama izsole, kurā piedalās šīs personas, turklāt

solīšana sākas no nenotikušās izsoles sākumcenas. Par izsoles laiku un vietu tiesu izpildītājs personām, kuras vēlas

paturēt nekustamo īpašumu sev, rakstveidā paziņo septiņas dienas iepriekš. Personas neierašanās uz izsoli tiek

uzskatīta par atteikšanos no tiesībām piedalīties solīšanā. Ja uz izsoli ierodas viena persona, tā var paturēt sev

nekustamo īpašumu par rīkotās izsoles sākumcenu. Ja uz izsoli neierodas neviens, tiesu izpildītājs nekavējoties

izsludina otru izsoli.

(4) Persona, kas patur sev nekustamo īpašumu, viena mēneša laikā iemaksā tiesu izpildītāja depozīta kontā šā panta

pirmajā, otrajā vai trešajā daļā norādīto summu atbilstoši tiesu izpildītāja sastādītajam aprēķinam (631.panta trešā

daļa) un ņemot vērā šā likuma 612.panta noteikumus.

215

(5) Pēc šā panta ceturtajā daļā minētās summas samaksas tiesu izpildītājs iesniedz apgabaltiesā, kuras darbības

teritorijā atrodas nekustamais īpašums, pieteikumu par nekustamā īpašuma nostiprināšanu uz nosolītāja, līdzīpašnieka

vai kreditora vārda un par zemesgrāmatā ierakstīto parādu dzēšanu (613.pants).

(6) Ja neviens nav pieteicies paturēt nekustamo īpašumu sev, rīkojama otrā izsole.

(05.02.2009. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 17.12.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.02.2010.)

616.pants. Otrā izsole

(1) Otro izsoli izziņo un rīko, ievērojot pirmās izsoles noteikumus. Tomēr nekustamā īpašuma solīšana sākas no

summas, kas atbilst 75 procentiem no sākumcenas pirmajā izsolē.

(2) (Izslēgta ar 17.12.2009. likumu)

(3) Ja otrā izsole nav notikusi un neviens nav vēlējies paturēt nekustamo īpašumu sev, nekustamais īpašums paliek

iepriekšējā īpašnieka īpašumā un piedziņas atzīme zemesgrāmatā dzēšama.

(Ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 31.10.2002. un 17.12.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.02.2010.)

617.pants. Spēkā neesoša izsole

(1) Tiesa izsoli atzīst par spēkā neesošu, ja:

1) kādam nepamatoti nav atļauts piedalīties izsolē vai nepareizi atraidīts kāds pārsolījums;

2) nekustamo īpašumu nopirkusi tāda persona, kura nav bijusi tiesīga piedalīties izsolē;

3) nekustamais īpašums pārdots pirms termiņa, kāds noteikts paziņojumā par pārdošanu;

4) (izslēgts ar 05.02.2009. likumu);

5) piedzinējs vai solītājs rīkojušies ļaunprātīgi;

6) vēršot piedziņu uz nekustamo īpašumu, tiesu izpildītājs pieļāvis būtiskus procesuālus pārkāpumus vai konstatēti citi

būtiski apstākļi, kas nepieļauj nekustamā īpašuma nostiprināšanu uz pircēja vārda.

(2) Sūdzību par tiesu izpildītāja rīcību, kas dod pamatu prasīt izsoles atzīšanu par spēkā neesošu, ieinteresētās

personas 10 dienu laikā no izsoles dienas var iesniegt apgabaltiesā pēc nekustamā īpašuma atrašanās vietas.

(3) Par tiesas lēmumu var iesniegt blakus sūdzību.

(4) Ja nekustamā īpašuma izsole atzīta par spēkā neesošu, rīkojama atkārtota izsole pēc tās izsoles noteikumiem,

kura atzīta par spēkā neesošu.

(5) (Izslēgta ar 05.02.2009. likumu.)

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā ar grozījumiem, kas izdarīti ar 05.02.2009. likumu, kas stājas spēkā 01.03.2009.)

618.pants. Kopīpašumā esoša nekustamā īpašuma pārdošana

(1) Izdarot piedziņu no viena vai vairākiem nedalīta nekustamā īpašuma īpašniekiem, šis īpašums aprakstāms visā tā

sastāvā, bet izsolē pārdodama tikai parādnieka tiesība uz viņa daļu, to iepriekš neatdalot.

216

(2) Kopīpašumā esošus nekustamos īpašumus var pārdot arī visā sastāvā, ja to vēlas visi kopīpašnieki un ja kreditori

neceļ pret to iebildumus. Pārdošanā ieņemtā nauda sadalāma starp nekustamā īpašuma īpašniekiem, bet summa, kas

pienākas parādniekam, izlietojama parāda dzēšanai.

74.nodaļa Tiesas piespriestās mantas piespiedu nodošana un

ar tiesas spriedumu uzlikto darbību izpildīšana

619.pants. Tiesas spriedumā norādīto priekšmetu nodošana piedzinējam

(1) Ja piedzinējam ir piespriesti tiesas spriedumā norādīti noteikti priekšmeti, tiesu izpildītājs šā likuma 555.pantā

noteiktajā kārtībā paziņo parādniekam par pienākumu izpildīt spriedumu labprātīgi. Priekšlikumā tiesu izpildītājs

norāda arī datumu, kad tiks veikta tiesas sprieduma piespiedu izpilde, ja tas nebūs izpildīts labprātīgi. Ja tiesas

spriedums izpildāms nekavējoties, tiesu izpildītājs parādniekam nedod termiņu izpildīt tiesas spriedumu labprātīgi, bet

rakstveidā, izsniedzot pret parakstu vai nosūtot ierakstītā pasta sūtījumā, paziņo datumu un laiku, kad tiks veikta

tiesas sprieduma piespiedu izpilde.

(2) Tiesu izpildītāja noteiktajā sprieduma piespiedu izpildes laikā pēc tiesu izpildītāja pieprasījuma parādniekam ir

pienākums uzrādīt izpildu rakstā norādītos piedzinējam nododamos priekšmetus. Pie priekšmetu nodošanas

parādniekam un piedzinējam ir tiesības pieaicināt ne vairāk kā divus lieciniekus. Liecinieku neierašanās neaptur

sprieduma izpildi.

(3) Ja tiesas sprieduma piespiedu izpildes laikā parādnieks neuzrāda spriedumā norādītos piedzinējam nododamos

priekšmetus, atsakās darīt zināmu to atrašanās vietu un pēc telpu apskates priekšmeti nav atrasti, tiesu izpildītājs par

to sastāda aktu, ko paraksta tiesu izpildītājs, piedzinējs un liecinieki, ja tādi ir piedalījušies. Pēc tam, kad sastādīts

akts par piedzinējam nododamās mantas neesamību, tiesu izpildītājs atbilstoši šā likuma noteikumiem veic piespiedu

izpildu darbības tiesas spriedumā noteiktās summas (196.pants) piedziņai.

(31.10.2002. likuma redakcijā, kas stājas spēkā 01.01.2003.)

620.pants. Sekas, kas rodas, ja neizpilda spriedumu, kas uzliek parādniekam par pienākumu izpildīt noteiktas darbības

(1) Ja netiek izpildīts spriedums, kas uzliek parādniekam par pienākumu izpildīt noteiktas darbības, kuras nav saistītas

ar mantas vai naudas summu nodošanu, tiesu izpildītājs sastāda aktu par sprieduma neizpildīšanu.

(2) Ja spriedumā norādītas šā likuma 197.panta otrajā daļā paredzētās sprieduma neizpildīšanas sekas, sastādīto aktu

nosūta rajona (pilsētas) tiesai pēc izpildīšanas vietas, lai tā pieņemtu lēmumu par spriedumā norādīto seku

piemērošanu sakarā ar to, ka parādnieks neizpilda noteiktas darbības.

(3) Ja spriedumā nav norādītas tā neizpildīšanas sekas, sastādīto aktu nosūta tiesai, kura taisījusi spriedumu lietā, un

šī tiesa izlemj jautājumu par sprieduma izpildīšanas kārtību saskaņā ar šā likuma 206. un 438.panta noteikumiem.

(4) Ja tiesas noteiktajā termiņā neizpilda spriedumu, kas uzliek parādniekam par pienākumu izpildīt darbības, kuras

var izpildīt tikai viņš pats (197.panta pirmā daļa), sastādīto aktu tiesu izpildītājs nosūta tiesai pēc izpildīšanas vietas.

Jautājumu par sprieduma neizpildīšanu izlemj tiesas sēdē. Par sēdes laiku un vietu paziņo piedzinējam un

parādniekam, tomēr šo personu neierašanās nav šķērslis izskatīt jautājumu par sprieduma neizpildīšanu.

Parādniekam, ja viņš tiesas noteiktajā termiņā neizpilda spriedumu, kas uzliek viņam par pienākumu izpildīt darbības,

217

kuras var izpildīt tikai viņš pats, tiesa var uzlikt naudas sodu līdz divsimt piecdesmit latiem, nosakot jaunu termiņu

sprieduma izpildei. Naudas sods piedzenams no parādnieka valsts ienākumos.

(5) Ja parādnieks otrreiz un atkārtoti pārkāpj sprieduma izpildīšanas termiņus, tiesa no jauna veic pasākumus, kas

paredzēti šā panta ceturtajā daļā. Par atkārtotu sprieduma neizpildīšanu tiesa uzliek naudas sodu piecsimt latu

apmērā. Naudas soda samaksa neatbrīvo parādnieku no pienākuma izpildīt tiesas spriedumā paredzētās darbības.

(6) Ja darba devējs neizpilda tiesas spriedumu par nelikumīgi atlaista vai pārcelta darbinieka atjaunošanu darbā, tiesa

pēc darbinieka lūguma pieņem lēmumu par darba samaksu par visu laiku no sprieduma taisīšanas dienas līdz tā

izpildīšanas dienai.

(7) Par tiesas lēmumu var iesniegt blakus sūdzību.

vai uz viņa iesniegtiem viltotiem dokumentiem.

(7) Par tiesas lēmumu jautājumā par sprieduma izpildīšanas pagriezienu var iesniegt blakus sūdzību.

636.pants. Ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums

(1) Ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums šīs nodaļas izpratnē ir ārvalsts tiesas pieņemts spriedums, ar kuru strīdus jautājums

starp pusēm ir izspriests pēc būtības, kā arī ārvalsts tiesas apstiprināts izlīgums.

(2) Ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums šīs nodaļas izpratnē ir arī ārvalsts kompetentās iestādes nolēmums, kas izpildāms tā

pieņemšanas valstī, ja nolēmuma atzīšana un izpilde izriet no tieši piemērojamām Eiropas Savienības tiesību normām

vai Latvijas Republikai saistošiem starptautiskajiem līgumiem.

(07.09.2006. likuma redakcijā, kas stājas spēkā 11.10.2006.)

šādam strīdam ir izņēmuma piekritība Latvijas tiesai;

2) ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums nav stājies likumīgā spēkā;

3) atbildētājam bijusi liegta iespēja aizstāvēt savas tiesības, it īpaši, ja atbildētājam, kurš nav piedalījies lietas

izskatīšanā, nav ticis savlaicīgi un pienācīgā kārtā paziņots par ierašanos tiesā, izņemot, ja atbildētājs nav pārsūdzējis

šo nolēmumu, lai gan viņam ir bijusi tāda iespēja;

4) ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums nav savienojams ar Latvijā jau agrāk pieņemtu un likumīgā spēkā stājušos tiesas

nolēmumu tajā pašā strīdā starp tām pašām pusēm vai ar Latvijas tiesā jau agrāk uzsāktu tiesvedību starp tām

pašām pusēm;

5) ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums nav savienojams ar tādu jau agrāk pieņemtu un likumīgā spēkā stājušos citas ārvalsts

tiesas nolēmumu tajā pašā strīdā starp tām pašām pusēm, kas ir atzīstams vai jau ir atzīts Latvijā;

6) ārvalsts tiesas nolēmuma atzīšana ir pretrunā ar Latvijas sabiedrisko iekārtu;

7) pieņemot ārvalsts tiesas nolēmumu, nav piemērots tās valsts likums, kas būtu piemērojams atbilstoši Latvijas

starptautisko privāttiesību kolīziju normām.

ja pastāv vismaz viens no šā panta otrās daļas 1., 2., 3., 6. un 7.punktā minētajiem neatzīšanas pamatiem vai viens

no šādiem neatzīšanas pamatiem:

1) ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums nav savienojams ar Latvijā vēlāk pieņemtu un likumīgā spēkā stājušos tiesas nolēmumu

tajā pašā strīdā starp tām pašām pusēm vai ar Latvijas tiesā vēlāk uzsāktu tiesvedību starp tām pašām pusēm;

2) ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums nav savienojams ar vēlāk pieņemtu un likumīgā spēkā stājušos citas ārvalsts tiesas

nolēmumu tajā pašā strīdā starp tām pašām pusēm, kas ir atzīstams vai jau ir atzīts Latvijā.

(4) Izlemjot jautājumu par to, vai ārvalsts tiesas nolēmums ir atzīstams atbilstoši šā panta otrajai daļai, tiesnesis vai

tiesa vadās pēc apstākļiem, kas nodibināti ar ārvalsts tiesas nolēmumu.

(5) Ja ar ārvalsts tiesas nolēmumu ir apmierināti vairāki vienā prasībā apvienoti prasījumi un šis nolēmums nav

atzīstams pilnā apjomā, ārvalsts tiesas nolēmumu var atzīt attiecībā uz vienu vai vairākiem apmierinātiem

prasījumiem.

Nozaudēto tiesvedības vai izpildu lietvedības materiālu atjaunošanas noteikumi

1. Nozaudētos tiesvedības vai izpildu lietvedības materiālus civillietā tiesa var atjaunot pēc lietas dalībnieka

pieteikuma, pēc tiesu izpildītāja vai prokurora iesnieguma, kā arī pēc savas iniciatīvas.

2. Nozaudētos tiesvedības materiālus atjauno pilnīgi vai tajā daļā, kuru atjaunot nepieciešams pēc tiesas ieskata. Ja

lietā bijis tiesas spriedums vai lēmums par tiesvedības izbeigšanu, tas obligāti atjaunojams.

257

3. Pieteikumu par nozaudēto tiesvedības materiālu vai izpildu raksta atjaunošanu iesniedz tiesai, kas izskatījusi lietu,

bet pieteikumu par nozaudēto izpildu lietvedības materiālu (izņemot izpildu rakstu) atjaunošanu — rajona (pilsētas)

tiesai pēc izpildīšanas vietas.

4. Pieteikumā norāda precīzas ziņas par lietu. Pieteikumam pievieno dokumentus vai to norakstus, kuri saglabājušies

pie iesniedzēja un kuri attiecas uz lietu, pat tad, ja tie nav noteiktā kārtībā apliecināti.

5. Tiesa, izskatot lietu, izmanto saglabājušās tiesvedības materiālu daļas, pieprasa no lietas dalībniekiem vai citām

personām dokumentus, kas pirms tiesvedības materiālu nozaudēšanas tiem izsniegti, šo dokumentu norakstus, kā arī

citus materiālus, kuri attiecas uz lietu. Lietas dalībnieki ir tiesīgi iesniegt apspriešanai viņu sastādīto atjaunojamā

sprieduma vai lēmuma projektu.

6. Tiesa kā lieciniekus var nopratināt personas, kas bijušas klāt pie procesuālo darbību izpildīšanas, bet, ja

nepieciešams, — personas, kas bijušas tiesas sastāvā, izskatot lietu, kuras tiesvedības materiāli nozaudēti, kā arī

personas, kas izpildījušas tiesas spriedumu.

7. Ja savākto materiālu nepietiek, lai precīzi atjaunotu nozaudētos tiesvedības materiālus, tiesa ar lēmumu izbeidz

pieteikuma izskatīšanu par tiesvedības materiālu atjaunošanu. Šajā gadījumā iesniedzējs ir tiesīgs atkārtoti iesniegt

prasību vai pieteikumu vispārīgā kārtībā. Izdevumus, kas saistīti ar tādas lietas izskatīšanu, sedz valsts.

8. Izdevumus, kas radušies tiesai, izskatot lietu par nozaudēto materiālu atjaunošanu, sedz valsts. Ja iesniegts
