BODILY HARM A. THE CONCEPT OF BODILY HARMBodily harm is not clearly defined in the TCC. In legal terminology, bodily harm means "damage inflicted on the human body (body) as a result of a tortious act, … bodily harm." The concept of bodily harm encompasses both the violation of a person's physical integrity and their mental integrity, in other words, their mental health. Bodily harm resulting from a violation of physical integrity encompasses the violation of both a person's physical integrity and their mental integrity.The first element for bodily harm to occur is the existence of the harm. Injury, disability, mental distress, or similar must occur as a result of an unlawful act. However, injury, mental distress, or similar conditions alone are not sufficient for the harm to occur. The aforementioned reasons must also include a decrease in property, or a decrease in property in the future. Both of these elements must be present simultaneously. In short, if there is no decrease or potential decrease in a person's assets in the event of injury, the concept of bodily injury does not arise...

ELECTIONAL RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF THE CONTRACTOR'S DEFAULT IN THE DELIVERY OF THE WORK There is no specific provision in the TCC regarding the contractor's default in the delivery of independent sections in a construction contract in exchange for a land share. Therefore, if the contractor defaults in the delivery of independent sections, the general provisions of the TCC and, where applicable, the provisions pertaining to the work contract will apply. The institution of the debtor's default in Articles 117 and 118 of the TCC and the related provisions will apply to the contractor's default in the delivery of independent sections and the consequences thereof. In this context: For a contractor to be in default on their obligation to deliver the independent sections, the obligation must be due and payable, the independent sections must not be delivered, the landowner must have provided a warning, and there must be no reasons preventing the default. However, the contractor's default on their obligation to deliver the independent sections is not, as a rule, required to be at fault. However, justified delay may prevent the contractor from defaulting because it eliminates the delay in f..
