Amended: 25/1/1950, Law No. 5520, Art. 1

Where the surface area of immovable property turns out to exceed the amount recorded in the land register and the court decides that this excess does not result from encroachment upon adjoining land and that there has been no change in the boundaries, the area shall be recorded in the register in accordance with the decision.

The court shall conduct examinations at the site of the immovable and shall hear the owners of the adjoining immovables. A map of the place, to be prepared by land registry technical officers or, where there are none, by authorised technical officers or engineers, shall also be attached to the court decision. In the event of objection, an action shall be brought within the framework of the general provisions.

Gayrimenkul malların yüz ölçüsü tapu sicilinde yazılı miktardan fazla çıkıpta bu fazlalığın bitişik araziye el uzatmaktan ileri gelmediğine ve sınırca da bir değişiklik olmadığına mahkemece karar verilirse sicille karar veçhile kaydolunur.
