Constitutional Court Ruling on Violation of Property and Privacy Rights

The Court concluded that the applicant's rights to property and respect for private life were violated. It ordered the file to be sent to the relevant administrative court for retrial to remedy the consequences of the violation and awarded 40,000 TL in attorney fees.

Constitutional Court: Administrative Warnings Constitute Actionable Acts

The applicant, a legal advisor at Dokuz Eylül University, filed a lawsuit against a 'warning' sanction imposed for alleged negligence, which was dismissed by administrative courts on the grounds that it was not an actionable administrative act. The Constitutional Court held that because the warning was recorded in the applicant's personnel file and could have future legal consequences for their career, it constituted an actionable administrative act. Consequently, the Court found that the administrative courts' formalistic approach denied the applicant access to court, violating their right to a fair trial, and ordered a retrial.

Constitutional Court Ruling on Child Return and Family Life

The application concerns an alleged violation of the right to respect for family life, guaranteed by Article 20 of the Constitution, following a child abduction and return proceeding under the Hague Convention. The Constitutional Court determined that the domestic courts failed to adequately assess the children's best interests, the mother's caregiving capacity, and the potential risks the children would face if returned to the Netherlands. The Court ruled that the right to respect for family life was violated and ordered a retrial at the İzmir 8th Family Court to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the case.
