We are proud to announce that on June 11, 2024, an article by lawyer Dr. Sebastjan Kerčmar was published in the internationally renowned legal journal IHR – Internationales Handelsrecht Zeitschrift für das Recht des internationalen Warenkaufs und Warenvertriebs. The article is titled Der Ausgleichsanspruch des Handelsvertreters nach slowenischem Recht im Lichte der EU-Richtlinie 653/86 – The commercial agent’s indemnity under Slovenian law in the light of EU Directive 653/86.

The article outlines the regime for commercial agent’s indemnity in the Slovenian legal system. Although the indemnity regime in all EU member states is based on the Commercial Agents Directive, the Slovenian regime deviates significantly from the German regime, which was supposedly drawn upon by the Slovenian legislature, as well as from other comparable regimes. It is therefore essential for economic operators entering the Slovenian market to have an understanding of the indemnity regime under Slovenian law. In the article, dr. Sebastjan Kerčmar explains the prerequisites for a commercial agent’s entitlement to indemnity under the specific Slovenian regime, discusses the compatibility of the Slovenian regime with the Commercial Agents Directive, explains other important differences compared to other regimes, and finally discusses the possibility of analogous application of Slovenian indemnity provisions to other types of contracts.
