Retired Supreme
Judge Councilor Anton Gašper Frantar
(1948–2021) was the head
of the civil department of the Supreme

Pravna praksa, former vice-president of the Football
Associa- tion of Slovenia and a man whose professional activity was
based on justice and judicial ethics.
He is the author of many top professional works in the field
of civil law, co-author of the commentary of the Denationalisation Act and the Land
Registry Act. He was also guest lecturer

the Civil Division

an indelible mark by striving
to unify civil
law case-law as a guarantor of pre- dictability of court decisions and consequently raise
the level of legal certainty and thus trust in the
judiciary.
