Die regionalen Berufungsgerichte, die zwar nach dem Inkrafttreten des Gesetzes Nr. 5235 am 1. Juni 2005 innerhalb von zwei Jahren errichtet werden sollten, haben erst am 20. Juli 2016 ihren Betrieb aufgenommen. Mit der Aufgabenübernahme der Berufungsgerichte ist die Türkei von einem zweistufigen Instanzenzug zu einem dreistufigen Instanzenzug übergegangen.

Im zweistufigen Instanzenzug wurden die Urteile der erstinstanzlichen Gerichte sowohl auf die Rechtsanwendung als auch auf die Tatsachenfeststellung vom Kassationshof überprüft. Heute werden die Urteile der erstinstanzlichen Gerichte von den regionalen Berufungsgerichten auf Rechtsanwendung und Tatsachenfeststellung überprüft und der Kassationshof überprüft lediglich auf Rechtsanwendungsfehler. Nachdem die regionalen Berufungsgerichte ihren Betrieb aufgenommen haben, wird der Kassationshof als Revisionsgericht" agieren.

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).

Crypto Asset Regulations In GCC Countries: A Comparison With Türkiye

Crypto assets and their underlying technologies are reshaping the global financial system. Yet the legal nature of crypto assets, their economic implications, and the risks they pose to financial stability have led states to adopt markedly different regulatory approaches. Despite sharing similar economic structures and a common ambition to position themselves as financial hubs, the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (the Gulf Cooperation Council) (GCC) countries have not converged on a uniform regulatory framework for crypto assets.
