Bodily harm (ÇEVİRİ)

Bodily harm (ÇEVİRİ)

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...

APKIS optional rights (ÇEVİRİ)

APKIS optional rights (ÇEVİRİ)

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..

Foreign Currency Purchase Certificate

Foreign Currency Purchase Certificate

FOREIGN CURRENCY PURCHASE CERTIFICATE As is known, within the scope of the Regulation on the Implementation of the Turkish Citizenship Law enacted in 2018, it has been made possible for foreigners in our country to acquire Turkish citizenship exceptionally by purchasing immovable or immovables worth at least 400,000 USD (Four hundred thousand USD). At this point, banks play an important role in the registration of foreign currency coming from foreign countries. Namely, as of January 24, 2022, foreigners are obliged to exchange foreign currency with the Central Bank for transactions they are buyers of. Accordingly, persons who are not citizens of the Republic of Turkey are required to make the payments for the real estate to be purchased in foreign currency. This obligation applies to all purchases made by foreigners, whether they apply for citizenship or not. Real estate cannot be sold without this document.   This process is usually done by authorized real estate offices. However, the most important point to be considered in this transaction is that the document to be obtained must be from a bank operating in Turkey. This transaction cannot be made with foreign currency exchang..

Consumer Law

Consumer Law

Consumer Law Consumer law is a specialized field of law that ensures consumers are protected against unfair practices they may encounter while purchasing goods and services. It is governed by both national and international regulations. From defective goods and the right of withdrawal to consumer contracts and warranty procedures, many topics are addressed in this area. In Turkey, the main legal framework that secures consumer rights is the Law on the Protection of the Consumer No. 6502. Especially issues related to online shopping, subscription agreements, and credit card transactions are among the most common subjects of consumer complaints.Consumers often suffer loss of rights due to lack of knowledge on issues such as returning defective products, service defects, misleading advertisements, distance sales contracts, and the validity of warranty documents. Legal procedures like applying to the consumer arbitration board, filing a lawsuit, and meeting deadlines can become complicated without professional assistance. At this point, a consumer law attorney plays an essential role in speeding up the process and protecting rights effectively.As Uzunpınar & Tüfek International La..
