Abstract
The Supreme Court must ensure uniformity of case law so as to rectify inconsistencies and thus maintain public confidence in the judicial system. With regard to its role in achieving consistency of case law, besides the regulatory mechanisms for the selection of appeals aimed at admitting to the Supreme Court only cases which bear significance beyond the scope of the individual case, other conditions (social, organisational and personal) must be met. The paper deals with the capacity of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia for ensuring a uniform application of law in civil proceedings. The author concludes that the majority of the requirements to successfully perform such task is satisfied, and points out the remaining obstacles.
