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.

On the paper: The note names the place of the istinabe and the evidence to be collected in a separate sentence.

İstinabe can come up when a witness lives in another province or a view has to be held somewhere else. The minute is sent to the main file. A sentence in the minute is not written in place of a judgment the judge has not yet given.

An enforcement talimat is for an act of pursuit such as an attachment or a sale. İstinabe is for evidence in the case. Describing the two in one petition as if they had the same result mixes up which period is running. This page writes no period.

The current procedure is in the official text of the Code of Civil Procedure. An istinabe in a criminal file can carry the same word. The route is not chosen before the court name in the heading is read.

This page does not replace the official text.
