Which Courts Usually Have Jurisdiction Over International Commercial Disputes? How Many Times of Appeals Are Allowed in Turkey?

Contributed by Emre Aslan, ANTROYA DEBT COLLECTION & LAW OFFICE (English, 中文), Turkey.

According to the Turkish Commercial Code, and the Law on The Establishment, Duties and Authorities Of Court Of Judicial Jurisdiction And Regional Court, Turkish commercial courts have jurisdiction over international commercial disputes.

There are no numerical limits to appealing a court order, but due to the nature of the Turkish Civil Procedure, once the appellant court reaches a verdict, you may bring the matter to the supreme court or abide by the decision.

Once the supreme court reaches a verdict, the trial court shall have the option to decide whether abide by the relevant decision, or resist (which is really rare, and in that case, you can bring the matter to the general assembly of the supreme court, whose decision is final on that matter).
