Enforcement Law

How to Start Enforcement Proceedings

Choosing the right track for the type of claim is the foundation of the process.

In Short

A claim is pursued by judgment-based, negotiable-instrument or ordinary enforcement. If the debtor objects to the payment order, ordinary enforcement stops and an annulment action is filed.

Tracks

  • Judgment-based: objection does not stop it.
  • Ordinary: objection stops it; annulment needed.
  • Negotiable instruments: cheque/bond (İİK 167).

Objection & attachment

On finalisation, salary, movable and immovable attachment is possible. Alimony follows special rules.
