1. Protection of workers in relation to the use of artificial intelligence in the workplaceAsja Lešnik, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on all stages of the employment relationship and analyses whether the current legal framework adequately protects workers from the risks posed by the use of AI in the workplace. The focus is on Slovenian labour law, while also considering relevant international and EU legal sources such as the AI Act, the Directive on Improving Working Conditions in Platform Work, the GDPR, and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The author addresses legal challenges including discrimination, data protection, privacy, occupational safety and health, and liability for damages. The article finds that while some protective mechanisms already exist, none of the analysed legal sources comprehensively regulate AI use in employment relationships. To ensure effective worker protection, the author argues for either the amendment of current laws or the adoption of dedicated legislation. Since AI will play an even more significant role in Labour Law in the future, it is crucial for the law to adapt in a timely manner to the new challenges posed by AI.

2. The protection of sensitive personal data and privacy in the US and EU with a focus on health data circulating through health appsEma Turnšek, Suzana Kraljić, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: In today’s modern world, we have more than one global actor leading the economy and rapid technological development. The article focuses specifically on the right to sensitive data protection, or more broadly the right to privacy, in American and in EU legal system. This paper shows distinctions between the two and systematically demonstrates the protection of personal data in EU through years. Exploring these distinctions and different interpretations of the right to data protection is significant, because of the potential impacts on the consumer in particular, possibly resulting in being granted different rights when acquiring services in the EU or America. We will also analyse the fundamental legal acts, which are the cornerstones of data privacy. As its main focus, the article will also examine the provisions concerning sensitive personal data, in particular health data. Furthermore, the article will study some specific concerns in connection to the American smart phone, smartwatch and computer health apps that are not fully compliant with basic EU legal principles, human rights or the General Data Protection Regulation. While the technology is so advanced and users may access these apps from anywhere across the world, such apps, and their privacy policies or other typical contracts, should comply with the relevant legislation, valid in the state of user’s nationality or remaining. The paper examines and substantiates the latter through two recent cases. In one, data breaches were punished by imposing a relatively high fine, and in the other case example, no punitive action was yet taken. That being said, the article argues the insufficient data protection framework that does not necessarily provide a consumer with appropriate safeguards, which is especially relevant in cases of transmission of personal health data.

3. Legal aspects of health implications caused by environmental distressRajko Knez, 2017, original scientific article Abstract: The article tries to explore legal consequences in cases where the environmental distress causes health implications for individuals. The author begins with the observations from two different angles, that is ex ante and ex post actions. Both approaches differ substantively, since the ex ante approach is applied by state authorities (command-and-control approach, de iure imperii acts), while the ex post approach is by a general rule initiated by individuals against polluters/state. Both approaches are discussed considering the application of EU rules and beyond (ECHR, Aarhus convention). The main emphasis is given to one of the biggest problems, that is the issue of causality, which discourages many plaintiffs from claiming damages. For the so-called post-industrial risks the conventional rules of causality do not suffice, which is why certain courts proposed that changes in this respect are necessary. In addition, the role of NGOs is emphasised, since the NGO can, especially in the ex ante approach, achieve better effects, especially when locus standi is assured.

4. Legal regulation of possession in the Republic of SloveniaRenato Vrenčur, 2017, scientific monograph Abstract: Possession is actual control over a thing. While the relationship between a possessor and a thing allows the former to use the thing, enjoy it and dispose of it, it is not important if he or she also has the right to do so. Possession represents one of fundamental components (entitlements) of ownership, which, despite the fact that it only represents actual control over a thing, nevertheless indicates certain belonging of a thing to a person who exercises actual control. Possession is not a right and therefore does not include fundamental entitlements, but it does contain the entitlement to legal protection. A possessor, who does not necessarily even have the right to possess a thing, may require protection of possession either through self help or with an action. The monograph comprehensively discusses regulation of possession, and at the same time offers systematically collected and arranged recent case law in this field.
Keywords: property law, possession, real rights, legal protection, disturbance of possession
