Constitutional Court Annuls Ministerial Approval Requirement for CPA Exam Regulations
The Constitutional Court of Turkey has annulled the provision in Article 10(4) of Law No. 3568, which mandated that regulations regarding the certified public accountant examination be issued 'with the approval of the Ministry of Finance'. The Court ruled that subjecting the regulatory power of professional organizations—which are public legal entities—to ministerial approval undermines their institutional autonomy, thereby violating Articles 124 and 135 of the Constitution.

Constitutional Court Ruling on FETÖ-Linked Public Official Dismissal Case
In the individual application filed by Doğan Doğan, it was alleged that his dismissal from public service due to alleged links with FETÖ/PDY violated his right to respect for private life and the presumption of innocence. The Constitutional Court assessed that the dismissal process served to mitigate threats to national security and was proportionate within the framework of Article 15 of the Constitution and the Statutory Decrees enacted under the State of Emergency. The Court concluded that, based on evidence and digital analysis reports confirming links to the organization, there was no violation of the right to respect for private life, and the claim regarding the presumption of innocence was declared inadmissible due to lack of merit.

Constitutional Court Rules Violation in Public Official Dismissal Case
The Constitutional Court ruled that the dismissal of a public official under Decree-Law No. 692 due to alleged links with FETÖ/PDY violated the right to respect for private life. The Court held that the digital forensic reports and classification codes used as evidence were insufficient to justify dismissal without adequate judicial scrutiny. Consequently, the Court ordered a retrial, while rejecting claims concerning the presumption of innocence and the right to a trial within a reasonable time.

Constitutional Court Ruling on the Right to Liberty and Security
The applicant, Fatih Ayan, filed an individual application to the Constitutional Court claiming that the compensation awarded for his period of unlawful detention and judicial control was insufficient following his acquittal. The Court evaluated that, alongside the compensation amount, the deduction of the applicant's detention period from his potential prison sentence served as a compensatory measure for the loss of liberty. Concluding that the set-off process provided adequate reparation within the principles of compensation law, the Constitutional Court ruled that there was no violation of the right to liberty and security of person.
