Council of State's Unification of Decisions on Appeals Filed by Intervening Parties

The Council of State of Turkey has recently ruled that intervening parties can appeal decisions individually, even if the principal party does not file an appeal. This is on condition that the intervening party's appeal is not against, or is not contradicting, the principal party's explanations or intent. The decision is binding for the courts and will allow intervening parties to have a greater say in the outcome of cases.

Tefhimden İtibaren Kanun Yoluna Başvuru Hakkında Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin Güncel Kararı

Gerekçeli kararın taraflara tebliğinden itibaren istinaf ve temyiz başvuru sürelerinin başladığı kanunlarla düzenlenmiştir. Ancak uygulamada, taraflara gerekçeli kararın tebliğ edilmediği durumlarda süre tutum dilekçesi sunulması gerekmektedir. Anayasa Mahkemesi, bu uygulamanın mahkemeye erişim hakkını engellediğini belirterek, sürenin gerekçeli kararın tebliğiyle başlaması gerektiğine karar vermiştir. Ancak bu kararın uygulamada değişmeyebileceği düşünülmektedir.

Arbitration Procedures and Practice 2023 in Turkey - 1
