Which legal paper is in your hand?

Enforcement and payment papers

A payment order, an enforcement order and a file statement are not copies of one envelope. The heading, the kind of proceeding and the service stamp separate them.

Phrases you may see on the paper: ödeme emri, icra emri, örnek 7, örnek 10, kapak hesabı, Esas No.

• A Payment Order Arrived. What Should Be Done? — The first paper to read if a payment order in an ordinary proceeding has arrived.
• An Enforcement Order Has Arrived. What Should I Do? — The enforcement order that takes the place of a payment order after a judgment.
• Enforcement Proceedings Particular to Negotiable Instruments — A payment order special to a note or a cheque is not the ordinary attachment sample.
• What Is a Cover Account? — The interest, cost and balance on the file. It does not open a new proceeding.

Enforcement and bankruptcy

Do not write a file number, an identity number or an account statement on an open form. Cover them before you share the paper.

Attachment papers

A notice, the minutes, a letter to an employer and a valuation report go to different addressees. The sample number shows which step the paper is.

Phrases you may see on the paper: İİK 89/1, İİK 89/2, İİK 89/3, 103 davetiyesi, müzekkere, kıymet takdiri.

• What Should You Do If an Article 103 Invitation Arrives? — A call to inspect attachment minutes drawn up in your absence.
• A wage-attachment letter arrived: what does it mean? — The deduction letter sent to the employer. It is not a bank block.

Enforcement and bankruptcy

A payroll, a registration plate and someone else's account number are not written in open text. Cover the paper before you show it.

Court papers of service

A period is read from the service stamp before it is read from the name of the paper. If there is no stamp, a phrase on a screen does not create a day. If the addressee line is wrong, the petition does not enter that file.

Phrases you may see on the paper: tebliğ edildi, tebliğ mazbatası, muhtıra, e-tebligat, öğrenme tarihi.

• From Which Line Is the Date of Learning of Service Read? — Which line the date of service is read from.

• A notice that returned
• Notification Law

Practice areas

The address and identity number on the service stamp are not copied onto an open form. Leave the date line and cover the rest.

Hearings and preparatory minutes

A preparatory minute is a list of steps. A preliminary-hearing summons states the day. An assignment record is not a hearing date.

Phrases you may see on the paper: tensip zaptı hazırlandı, ön inceleme, tevzi edildi, duruşma günü.

• What is a preparatory-hearing minute, and what should the parties do? — Not a judgment. The list of steps before the preliminary hearing.

• Miscellaneous-business file
• Evidence taken elsewhere
• Code of Civil Procedure

Practice areas

Do not write a party's address or identity number in an open message together with the hearing date.

Expert reports and evidence

Filing a report in the case does not mean it was served on you. An opinion does not replace the judgment. A report in a healthcare file has its own guide.

Phrases you may see on the paper: bilirkişi raporu dosyaya sunuldu, ek rapor, tebliğ edildi, delil listesi.

• The expert report was served: what should you read? — A court expert's report reaching you. It is not the judgment.

Practice areas

Do not pour health, financial or third-party data from the report onto an open form. The question asked and the concluding sentence are enough.

Prosecutor and investigation papers

A summons, an indictment and a decision of non-prosecution do not give the same status. The line for suspect, complainant or accused is read on the paper.

Phrases you may see on the paper: ifade için çağrı, iddianame, kovuşturmaya yer olmadığı, KYOK, adli kontrol.

• Filing-paper check
• Investigation number
• Indictment number
• Code of Criminal Procedure

Criminal law

A statement narrative, a complainant's identity and the detail of an offence are not written on an open form. The status and the date on the summons are enough.

Judgments and appeals

The short decision, the reasoned text and the finality annotation are three records. An appeal is not turned into a figure before the service stamp is seen.

Phrases you may see on the paper: gerekçeli karar yazıldı, kısa karar, kesinleşme şerhi, istinaf, temyiz, Karar No.

• What happens after the reasoned judgment is served? — The paper after the reasoned text has reached you.

Practice areas

A party's identity and address on the copy are not written on an open form. The case number and the judgment number are enough.

UYAP phrases and file numbers

The merits number identifies the file. The judgment number identifies the decision. E. and K. are not the same figure. A phrase that something was prepared, or that the file was assigned, does not stand in for a service stamp.

Phrases you may see on the paper: Esas No, Karar No, E., K., tevzi edildi, tensip zaptı hazırlandı.

• If the Enforcement File Does Not Appear on UYAP, Is Service Treated as Absent? — If the file number is not on the system, the screen does not stand in for the paper.

• What is a preparatory-hearing minute, and what should the parties do? — A line that it was prepared means the minute was written. It does not give judgment.

• Merits and judgment numbers
• The file was assigned

Practice areas

An identity number and an address on a UYAP screenshot are not shared. Cover the names next to the file number.

Health and malpractice papers

The patient file, a discharge summary, a consent form and an operation note are not pages of one document. A diagnosis does not stand in for a signature on consent.

Phrases you may see on the paper: epikriz, aydınlatılmış onam, ameliyat notu, hasta dosyası, adli tıp.

• What Is Informed Consent? — A consent form is the paper that describes the intervention. A signature alone is not the explanation.
• A Request for the Patient File — How a copy of the patient file is requested. It is not a claim.
• If the Operation Note Is Unsigned, to Whom Is the Charge Written? — If the operation note has no signature or no sentence, the note is not treated as complete.
• What Is Read When a Forensic Medicine Report Is Served on the Physician? — A forensic report reaching the physician. It is not the hospital's reply.
