If you're a foreigner living or doing business in Turkey, it's important to understand the country's Private International Law (PIL) to ensure that your legal matters are handled correctly. Here's an overview of Turkish PIL for foreigners.
Turkish PIL governs legal relationships that have a foreign element, such as cases involving foreign parties or assets located outside of Turkey. The law determines which jurisdiction's law will apply to the case and which court will have jurisdiction over it.
One important aspect of Turkish PIL is the principle of reciprocity. This means that if a foreign country recognizes Turkish law in a similar case, Turkey will also recognize that country's law. If there is no reciprocity, Turkish law will apply.
Another important aspect of Turkish PIL is the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments and arbitral awards. In general, Turkish courts will recognize and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards if they meet certain requirements, such as being final and binding, not violating Turkish public policy, and being issued by a court with proper jurisdiction.
It's important to note that Turkish PIL can be complex, especially for foreigners who are not familiar with the language and legal system. That's why it's advisable to seek legal guidance from experienced professionals who can help you understand the law and its implications for your situation.
