Statement of claim translation

Statements of claim and defense contain the parties' submissions in judicial proceedings. In cases involving a foreign element, they are translated to serve documents on the opposing party, submit evidence and coordinate with foreign counsel.

The structure of the allegations and defense is preserved in the translation; paragraph and article numbers follow the order of the source text. Cited statutory provisions are identified by their names in Turkish legislation, with explanations added where necessary.
