  • File and decision numbers

    The esas number and the karar number

    The esas number separates the case or the enforcement file that was opened. The karar number is the decision’s own number in that file. E. abbreviates esas. K. abbreviates karar. The year of one need not match the year of the other.

  • Prosecution and crime

    The soruşturma number

    A soruşturma number is the count of the preparatory file kept at the public prosecutor’s office before a public case is brought. The court’s esas is given separately after an indictment is accepted. Seeing only the investigation number does not mean a case has been opened.

  • Prosecution and crime

    The iddianame number

    The iddianame number separates the indictment the prosecutor drew from the other preparatory papers. After acceptance, the file moves to a court esas. Service of the indictment is not the number itself.

  • File and decision numbers

    A değişik iş file, also marked D.İş

    A değişik iş file is a matter number kept apart from the main case or enforcement esas. Not every D.İş means the case has ended. Which office opened it is read from the heading of the paper.

  • Enforcement and attachment

    A talimat file

    A talimat file is opened when one office asks another office to carry out an act. In enforcement it is often seen for an attachment or for service. Closing the talimat does not mean the main pursuit has ended.

  • Court and decision

    İstinabe

    İstinabe is the trial court asking a court somewhere else for a view, a witness, or another evidence act. The esas number of the file does not change. The istinabe minute is not the judgment itself.

  • UYAP and file status

    Dosya tevzi edildi

    Dosya tevzi edildi means the incoming paper was distributed to a court, a chamber, or a judge’s list. A preparatory minute, a hearing date, or a judgment may not exist yet. The screen sentence does not stand in for a service stamp.

  • Court and decision

    The tahkikat stage

    In a civil case, tahkikat is the stage after the preliminary examination, when the parties’ evidence is collected and discussed. A judgment may not have been given yet. The preliminary-examination hearing is not this stage itself.

  • Court and decision

    Dosya karara çıktı

    Dosya karara çıktı is a status sentence saying the court gave a decision. The reasoned decision may not have been written yet, or it may not have been served. The finality stamp is not inside this sentence.

  • UYAP and file status

    Dosya kapalı

    Dosya kapalı is a status saying that no new act appears on that number. It does not by itself mean the case is final, the debt has ended, or a fee will be refunded. The reason is read from the closing code or from the paper.

  • Court and decision

    Müzekkere yazıldı

    Müzekkere yazıldı means a court or a chamber prepared a letter to an institution. The letter may not have been sent yet, or an answer may not have arrived. A wage-attachment letter is only one kind of this general sentence.

  • Service of documents

    Tebligat çıkarıldı

    Tebligat çıkarıldı means an outgoing act was made so that a paper would be notified. The paper may not have reached the addressee yet. An electronic notice can appear with the same word. The date it arrived is a separate field.

  • Service of documents

    A returned tebligat

    A returned tebligat is a notice that came back without delivery. The reason is read from the stamp. Not every return means the notice was never sent. A claim of irregular service is not the name of every return either.
