Law of obligations
Claims and damages arising from contract, tort and unjust enrichment.
The law of obligations governs how a duty between private parties arises, how it comes to an end and what follows from its breach. The Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098 is the principal text on the formation and validity of contracts, on performance and the consequences of non-performance, and on liability in tort.
Whether a claim arises in contract or in tort changes the limitation period, the burden of proof and the heads of loss that may be claimed. The contract, the correspondence between the parties and the payment records are therefore examined together from the outset.
