Procedure for Entitlement in Seizure (ÇEVİRİ)

Procedure for Entitlement in Seizure (ÇEVİRİ)

PROCEDURE FOR CHARGES IN SEIZURE A. GENERAL INFORMATIONAlthough the debtor is the addressee of the enforcement proceedings, property believed to belong to the debtor but belonging to third parties can also be seized. The enforcement officer, taking into account the principle of order in seizure, may only seize property whose seizure is not prohibited by law. This principle serves not to collect the debt under any circumstances, but rather to establish a balance of interests between the creditor and the debtor. The enforcement officer has no other discretion and cannot assess whether the seized property actually belongs to the debtor.SEQUENCE IN SEIZURE: Only the debtor's property can be seized to the extent that it covers the principal and interest of the debt, as well as the enforcement expenses; no more can be seized (Article 85, I). However, when seizing sufficient property to cover the debtor's debt, it is necessary to begin with the property whose absence will least burden the debtor and is easiest to seize and sell. In other words, when seizing a debtor's property, a specific order is observed, which is called the order of seizure. Disputed property refers to property declar..

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...

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..

Criminal Law

Criminal Law

Criminal Law Criminal law is a branch of public law that regulates criminal acts and the legal penalties for these acts. Its main goal is to protect social order and the fundamental rights of individuals. Crimes such as intentional killing, fraud, embezzlement, threats, drug trafficking, sexual offenses, forgery, and abuse of power fall under this field. These accusations do not only create legal consequences. They also affect a person’s freedom, reputation, and social life. Because of this, criminal cases must be handled with legal expertise and strategic thinking.A criminal case goes through many stages. These include police questioning, the prosecutor’s investigation, court hearings, and if needed, appeals. During these stages, the presumption of innocence is essential. A person cannot be seen as guilty until there is a final decision by a court. Another important rule is the right to be protected from unjust harm to one’s reputation. This right ensures that people do not suffer unfair damage to their name or image during an investigation. Even if there is an allegation, no one should be treated like a criminal unless there is clear and lawful evidence.At Uzunpınar TÜFEK Intern..
