Tahkimin Temel İlkeleri #1: Kompetenz-Kompetenz İlkesi

Kompetenz-Kompetenz İlkesi: Hakemin Kendi Yetkisine Karar Verme Yetkisi ve Türk Hukukundaki Yansımaları

1. GİRİŞ

Tahkim, taraf iradesine dayalı yapısı, uzmanlık sağlaması ve çoğu durumda devlet yargılamasına kıyasla daha hızlı ve esnek bir çözüm zemini sunması nedenleriyle, özellikle ticari uyuşmazlıklarda önemini giderek artırmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, tahkim yargılamasının etkin bir uyuşmazlık çözüm yöntemi olarak işleyebilmesi, yalnızca tarafların tahkime yönelme iradesine değil, aynı zamanda bu iradeyi koruyan ve destekleyen temel yapısal ilkelere bağlıdır. Bu ilkelerin başında, hakem veya hakem kurulunun kendi yetkisi hakkında karar verebilmesini ifade eden kompetenz-kompetenz ilkesi gelmektedir.

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).
