Enforcement Law
Enforcement Law, also known as İcra Hukuku in Turkish legal practice, is the branch of law that governs the compulsory execution of court decisions, judgments, and other enforceable documents. It serves as a crucial mechanism for ensuring that legal rights recognized by a court are not merely theoretical but can be practically enforced. This area of law is fundamental to the rule of law, as it provides creditors with the means to recover their rightful claims from debtors who fail to pay voluntarily.
Our legal services are tailored to help both individuals and businesses navigate the complexities of the Turkish enforcement system. We provide strategic guidance and representation to help you collect your receivables or defend against unjust enforcement proceedings.
Key Areas of Enforcement Law in Turkey
Debt Collection: We assist clients in initiating and managing enforcement proceedings to collect outstanding debts. This involves filing an enforcement order (icra takibi) with the enforcement office, which is the first formal step toward compulsory collection.
Asset Seizure and Liens: Once an enforcement order is approved, the law permits the seizure of a debtor's assets to satisfy the debt. This can include liens on real estate (gayrimenkul üzerine haciz), bank accounts, vehicles, and other valuable property. We manage these processes to ensure your claim is secured.
Foreclosure and Sale: For debts secured by assets like real estate or vehicles, enforcement law allows for the foreclosure and public sale (paraya çevirme) of the property. The proceeds from the sale are then used to pay off the creditor's claim.
Defense Against Unjust Enforcement: If you are facing an enforcement proceeding that you believe is unfounded or unjust, we provide a robust defense. This includes challenging the debt amount, arguing against the legality of the enforcement order, or negotiating a settlement.
Court Rulings and Judgments: We handle the enforcement of a wide range of court decisions, from the payment of financial compensation to the execution of non-monetary judgments. Our team ensures that these rulings are effectively and efficiently carried out.
