Constitutional Court: Debtor's Suitable Home Is Exempt from Seizure
The Constitutional Court reviewed the constitutionality of the provision in Article 82(1)(12) of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law, which prohibits the seizure of a debtor's 'suitable' home. The Court concluded that the provision strikes a fair balance between the creditor's right to property and the debtor's right to housing, falling within the legislator's discretionary power, and consequently dismissed the objection.

Dismissal of Challenge Against Article 30 of the Law on Fees
The Constitutional Court of Turkey examined the constitutionality of Article 30 of the Law on Fees (Law No. 492), which stipulates that if the value of a case determined during proceedings exceeds the amount stated in the initial petition, judicial proceedings shall not continue until the corresponding court fee is completed. The Court concluded that this regulation does not violate the right to access to court or the right to a fair trial, finding that it serves the legitimate purpose of ensuring the orderly functioning of judicial services and does not impose a disproportionate burden. Consequently, the objection was unanimously dismissed.

Constitutional Court Ruling on Maximum Duration of Undergraduate Studies
The Constitutional Court rejected the petition for the annulment of the provision in Article 44 of the Law No. 2547, which mandates that six-year undergraduate programs be completed within a maximum period of nine years. The Court concluded that the limitation on the duration of education serves legitimate public interests, such as the efficient use of public resources and the maintenance of educational standards. It further noted that the law provides mitigating mechanisms, such as additional examination rights, and therefore does not impose a disproportionate burden on the right to education.

Constitutional Court Ruling on Property Right Violation Application
In the individual application filed by İsmail Küçük, the applicant alleged that his property rights were violated due to the transfer of a portion of his land to neighboring parcels following a boundary rectification procedure. The Constitutional Court concluded that the cadastral adjustments were based on technical grounds, the accuracy of which was confirmed by expert reports and judicial decisions. Finding no clear violation of property rights and deeming the application manifestly ill-founded, the Court declared the application inadmissible.

Constitutional Court ruling on party substitution and mediation requirement in labor lawsuits
The Constitutional Court ruled that the dismissal of a reinstatement lawsuit due to the absence of a mandatory mediation requirement—specifically after a change of parties under Article 124 of the Code of Civil Procedure—constitutes a violation of the right of access to a court. The Court held that when a plaintiff has already fulfilled the mediation requirement and the change of defendant is made in good faith, requiring a new mediation process imposes an excessive burden on the applicant, thereby infringing upon the right to a fair trial.

Constitutional Court Rules Violation of Right to Access a Court
The Constitutional Court ruled that the rejection of an interpleader lawsuit for being time-barred violated the right to access a court. The Court found that applying a rigid legal presumption regarding the date of awareness of the attachment—without considering the specific circumstances where the attachment occurred at a workplace not shared with the debtor—constituted an undue restriction on the right to a fair trial. The case was remanded for a retrial.
