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..

Penalty Clause In Case The Contractor Falls Into Default On The Deliverment Of The Work (ÇEVİRİ)

Penalty Clause In Case The Contractor Falls Into Default On The Deliverment Of The Work (ÇEVİRİ)

  A penalty clause is dependent on the existence of the principal obligation, in other words, it is an accessory obligation connected to the principal obligation.

The penalty clause can be the payment of a sum of money or it can also involve obligations in property other than money. In accordance with Article 182/I of the TCC and the principle of freedom of contract, the parties to the contract may freely agree on the penalty clause and its amount. However, pursuant to Article 182/III of the TCC, if the judge deems the amount of the penalty clause agreed upon by the parties to be excessive, the judge shall reduce it ex officio. Conversely, Article 182/III of the TCC In accordance with Article 22, if the contractor is a merchant, a penalty clause cannot be reduced on the grounds that it is excessive. However, this rule applies if the penalty clause is detrimental to the merchant contractor and violates morality and etiquette.  ..

Bodily harm (ÇEVİRİ)

BODILY HARM A. THE CONCEPT OF BODILY HARMBodily harm is not clearly defined in the TCC.

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.

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...
