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).

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...
