MADDE 168 · Kanun yolları

(Değişik:16/7/2026-7589/24 md.)

(1) Aynı yargı çevresinde yer alan aynı düzey ve sıfattaki hukuk mahkemelerinde görülmekte olan davalar yönünden verilen birleştirme kararına karşı sadece istinaf yoluna başvurulabilir.

(2) İlk derece mahkemelerince verilen ayırma kararlarına karşı istinaf yoluna; bölge adliye mahkemelerinin birleştirme ve ayırma kararları hakkında ise temyiz yoluna, ancak hükümle birlikte gidilebilir. Şu kadar ki, bu husus tek başına, bölge adliye mahkemesinde hükmün kaldırılarak esastan incelenme; Yargıtayda ise bozma sebebi teşkil etmez.
