With gratitude in memory of Anton Gašper Frantar (1948–2021)

Retired Supreme Judge Councilor Anton Gašper Frantar (1948–2021) was the head of the civil department of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia from October 2003 until his retirement at the end of 2018, president of the National Electoral Commission from 1996 to 2019, long-time editor-in-chief of the oldest Slovenian legal journal Pravnik, a member of the editorial board of the magazine 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 at the Law Faculty of the Univer- sity of Maribor and the Law Faculty of the University of Ljubljana. As the head of the Civil Division of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia, he left 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.
