Introduction to Law

Trying to unite ideas of retribution with ideas of prevention in different variants, absolute and relative theories of punishment have led to so-called unified theories of punishment. According to the unification, society shall threaten to punish and the penalty shall be pronounced and executed with the aim of protecting society against further offenses but all this shall be done in a way adequate to the wrongdoers’ guilt.

Court decisions are usually categorized as interlocutory decisions (ara karar) and final decisions (nihai karar). This distinction is made mainly to determine the appealability of a decision. Interlocutory decisions, which are decisions made in order to resume the action as opposed to terminating it, are not appealable in principle as opposed to final decisions. In principle, the court may reverse its interlocutory decision at any time. Final decisions of the court are generally categorized into three categories, which are (1) procedural final decisions (or dismissal of the action on procedural grounds), (2) the judgment (hüküm) (ruling on the merits) and (3) decisions declaring that the subject matter of the action has perished (therefore there is no need to render a judgment). Procedural final decisions are the dismissal of the action on account of procedural errors. These decisions do not resolve the dispute; therefore, a new action may be filed again. Judgments, on the other hand, resolve the dispute and therefore constitute res judicata, upon which they become unappealable. If a party files another action identical to the previous one, the court must dismiss the action on account of a res judicata on the matter.

Arbitration (tahkim) is a dispute resolution method in which the parties choose the arbitrator (or the arbitrators) and the procedure to be followed. Otherwise, arbitration is similar to litigation in courts as both methods determine which party is right and both render binding final decisions. The scope of the rules of arbitration in the CoCP are limited to disputes that do not involve any foreign element as defined by the Code of International Arbitration, for which the seat of arbitration is determined as Turkey (art. 407). Disputes arising from rights attached to real property and matters on which the parties may not freely act are not eligible for arbitration (art. 408). Most of the provisions regarding arbitration are not mandatory. However, there are some mandatory provisions regarding which the parties may not agree otherwise. For instance, according to article 423, the parties share equal rights and powers in arbitration proceedings. This principle must be applied by the arbitrator or the arbitral tribunal regardless of how the parties approach the matter. It also needs to be noted that, provisions of the CoCP other than the ones regarding arbitration are not applicable in arbitration proceedings, unless otherwise stated by the Statute (art. 444).
