Debt Recovery Proceedings in Turkey

Our Turkish debt recovery law lawyers have substantial experience in providing efficient and useful advice to clients to assist them to recover money owing in Turkey. All debt needs to be scrutinized and assessed and an action plan started to ensure you are not working without appropriate reward.  Our lawyers in Turkey can assist you with implementing such an action plan.

Enforcement of Foreign Courts Decrees

According to International Private and Procedural Law, enforcement of court decrees rendered by foreign courts in the course of civil lawsuits in Turkey which are final pursuant to the law of that foreign state shall be subject to the enforcement decision of the competent Turkish court.

Thus we must file an enforcement lawsuit against the debtor in Turkey upon service of the original foreign court decree on parties (both the Plaintiff and the Defendant). Upon the enforcement decision of the Turkish competent court, we can commence execution proceedings before the competent enforcement office to collect the amount of debt.

The Courts of First Instance shall have jurisdiction over enforcement decisions. These decisions shall be requested from the court at the place of habitual residence of the person against whom enforcement is requested if he/she does have a domicile in Turkey, or from one of the courts in Istanbul, Ankara, or Izmir if he/she does not have a domicile or habitual residence in Turkey.

Nevertheless, there is no unity in practice, because some civil courts of the first instance reject the applications owing to lack of jurisdiction and send the file to the relevant commercial, intellectual property, or labor courts.
