The Binding Nature of European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) Judgments on the Turkish Judiciary: An Analysis from the Perspective of International Law and Constitutional Order

The binding nature of ECtHR judgments on the Turkish judiciary presents a three-layered structure rooted in international law, constitutional order, and domestic procedural mechanisms. Considering the state's international obligation under Article 46 ECHR, the priority granted to international treaties by Article 90 of the Turkish Constitution, and the retrial mechanisms under Article 311 CMK and Article 375 HMK, ECtHR judgments establish an "effective but procedural" regime of bindingness — one that does not automatically repeal domestic legal norms but functions as a strong interpretive standard and legal basis for remedying violations.

Limits of Administrative Discretion in Deportation Decisions: Constitutional Review in the Context of Proportionality and Non-Refoulement Principle

Deportation decisions are administrative decisions based on state sovereignty. However, the administration cannot act arbitrarily in these decisions; it must act within certain legal limits. In the Turkish Republic, deportation is regulated within the framework of the Settlement Law, Passport Law, and the Law on Foreigners and International Protection. The limits of administrative discretion in deportation decisions are determined by the Constitution's provisions protecting rights and freedoms (individual petition, right to fair trial, privacy of family life, etc.). The proportionality principle controls whether the deportation decision is proportionate. The non-refoulement principle prohibits sending a person to countries where torture or human rights violations are experienced. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has made numerous decisions on this matter. This article examines administrative discretion in deportation decisions, the application of the proportionality principle and the non-refoulement principle in detail from the perspective of constitutional review and in light of ECtHR jurisprudence.

Testator Fraud (Hiding Assets from Inheritance) Cases: Title Cancellation and Registration in Gift-Disguised Sales

Testator Fraud (Hiding Assets from Inheritance) Cases: Title Cancellation and Registration in Gift-Disguised Sales

Testator fraud (hiding assets from inheritance) is where the testator, in old age or other periods, transfers real property that they actually intend to gift to a third party through apparent sale or other gratuitous transactions in the land register, aiming to deprive heirs of their inheritance rights. Legally characterized as "relative fraud" (nispi muvazaa), in such transactions the apparent transaction (sale) is invalid due to fraud, while the hidden transaction (gift) is invalid due to lack of formalities. Proof in testator fraud cases is conducted within the criteria of the testator's actual intent and the difference between sale price and property value. The Supreme Court, through Decision No. 1/2 dated 01.04.1974, recognized such cases and provided broad interpretation considering issues such as maintenance and support. Topics such as misuse of attorney authority, protection of good faith third parties, fiduciary transactions, and family dwelling liens are closely related to these cases. Courts, which must balance the reliability of the land register with the protection of property rights, must thoroughly investigate all elements of concrete cases of this type. This article examines the theoretical foundations of testator fraud cases, problems encountered in practice, Supreme Court jurisprudence, and recent court decisions in detail.
