Does Failure To Object To An Expert Report Create A Vested Procedural Right?
An expert is a person whose opinion and assessment are sought in order to clarify a fact or allegation that is material to the resolution of a dispute and whose verification requires specialized or technical knowledge beyond legal expertise. The report prepared by the expert on the relevant matter is referred to as an expert report. Under Turkish civil procedure law, the expert report itself constitutes evidence.

Inheritance Fraud Lawsuits: Legal Nature, Requirements, And Litigation Process
Inheritance fraud (muris muvazaası) is one of the most common inheritance-related disputes in Turkish legal practice. It typically arises when a deceased person (the decedent) transfers real property to one heir by disguising what is, in reality, a gratuitous transfer (gift) as a sale or a contract of maintenance until death, with the intention of depriving the remaining heirs of their inheritance rights. Although such transactions appear legally valid on their face, they do not reflect the parties' true intentions and are therefore evaluated under the legal principles governing sham transactions (muvazaa).

Muris Muvazaası Davaları: Hukuki Niteliği, Şartları Ve Yargılama Süreci
Muris muvazaası, Türk hukuk uygulamasında en sık karşılaşılan miras uyuşmazlıklarından biridir. Özellikle miras bırakanın, mirasçılarından bir kısmını miras hakkından mahrum bırakmak amacıyla taşınmazlarını gerçekte bağışladığı hâlde tapuda satış veya ölünceye kadar bakma sözleşmesi gibi ivazlı bir işlem görünümü altında devretmesi durumunda gündeme gelmektedir. Bu tür işlemler, görünüşte hukuka uygun olmakla birlikte tarafların gerçek iradelerini yansıtmadığından, muvazaa hükümleri kapsamında değerlendirilmektedir.

Enforcement Of Russian Court Decisions And Arbitral Awards In Türkiye: A New Era
The geopolitical shifts in recent years drastically changed the landscape of international dispute resolution. Today, finding legal representation and navigating the dispute itself are only the initial hurdles; winning a case on the merits is no longer the finish line. The real challenge—and the ultimate battleground—is successfully enforcing those judgments and arbitral awards abroad.

Debt Collection In Turkey And Special Rules For Foreign Creditors
Against this background, any strategy for debt collection for foreign creditors should assess the enforcement track according to the nature of the claim, the assessment of recoverability, the debtor’s options to object to the payment or enforcement order, mandatory mediation and the litigation stage in resolving an objection, collection through attachment and electronic sale, and, for foreign creditors, the security deposit and collection following enforcement of a foreign judgment should all be assessed together.

Collecting Debts Based On Foreign Judgments And Arbitral Awards In Turkey
For foreign judgment enforcement in Turkey, recovery on a foreign decision should be seen as two distinct stages, making the decision enforceable in Turkey, and then actually collecting the debt. That said, the time between those two stages matters can be equally important as the stages themselves. While foreign judgment enforcement in Turkey is pending, a debtor who disposes of assets can render the decision worthless. The success of the recovery therefore often depends on securing the claim from the very outset.
