The amendment of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law No. 2004 ("Previous Law"), which has been in force since 1932 and has undergone partial changes from time to time to meet evolving needs, has long been on the agenda. In this context, the "Draft Compulsory Enforcement Law" ("Draft Law"), prepared by the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law Scientific Commission and published on the website of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Türkiye, represents a significant step toward the anticipated reform.

The deadline for submitting the opinions and suggestions by lawyers, judges and other related persons to the Draft Law has been set as 31 January 2026, and it has been announced to the public that, following the receipt of these opinions, the Draft Law text will be discussed in the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye.
