The competence-competence principle grants arbitral tribunals the authority to determine their own jurisdiction, including questions about the validity and scope of arbitration agreements. This article examines how Turkish law implements this fundamental arbitration doctrine through statutory provisions and judicial precedent, analyzing the balance between arbitral autonomy and judicial oversight in both domestic and international arbitration proceedings.

6100 sayılı Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu (HMK)'nun 326. maddesinin 2. fıkrasında; "Davada iki taraftan her biri kısmen haklı çıkarsa, mahkeme, yargılama giderlerini tarafların haklılık oranına göre paylaştırır."

Türk usul hukukunda genel ilke, kanunda aksi öngörülmedikçe, usule ilişkin sürelerin tebliğ ile başlamasıdır. Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu (HMK), İdari Yargılama Usulü Kanunu ve çeşitli diğer kanunlar uyarınca, taraflara yönelik usul işlemlerine ilişkin kanuni süreler, kararın veya ilgili işlemin usulüne uygun şekilde tebliğ edildiği tarihten itibaren işlemeye başlar.

The principle of separability ensures that an arbitration agreement remains legally independent from the underlying contract in which it is contained. This fundamental doctrine of modern arbitration law prevents challenges to the main contract from automatically invalidating the arbitration clause, thereby protecting the integrity of arbitral proceedings and party autonomy.

This article examines the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments in Turkey. It considers finality, reciprocity, jurisdiction, public policy, service, documentary requirements, security and the relationship between enforcement permission and actual collection. The discussion distinguishes foreign judgments from arbitral awards and from decisions eligible for a separate administrative registration route.

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).

This article examines litigation, arbitration and mediation as distinct but connected methods of resolving cross-border disputes involving Türkiye. It considers jurisdiction, service, security for foreign claimants, arbitral consent, institutional procedures, mandatory mediation and the enforcement of outcomes. The statutory and treaty framework is read alongside the judicial authorities cited in the manuscript.

An arbitration clause is often one of the last provisions negotiated in an international contract. Commercial points have been agreed, the transaction is ready to close, and the dispute-resolution clause is treated as something that can be taken from an earlier agreement.

In Turkish law, the concept of joint ownership manifests itself in the forms of shared ownership and undivided co-ownership. In shared ownership, multiple persons own the entirety of a thing that is not physically divided, each holding a specific share, whereas in undivided co-ownership, the co-owners do not have defined shares and jointly own the property.
