Law on Fees

Article 12

In civil and commercial courts, the hearing fee shall be collected from the parties where the hearing is adjourned upon the request and consent of the parties, and, where it is adjourned because a step that could have been taken earlier was not taken, from the party who caused the adjournment.

In both cases, if the adjournment was caused by the attorneys, the hearing fee shall be charged to the attorneys.

If the hearing fee charged to the attorney or the parties is not paid within the following two hearings, it shall be collected at double the amount. If it is not paid, it shall be decided that a memorandum be written to the Finance authorities for the collection of the fee on the basis of this amount.

MADDE 12

Hukuk ve ticaret mahkemelerinde celse harcı, muhakeme tarafların talep ve muvafakatleri üzerine talik edilmiş ise taraflardan ve evvelce yapılması mümkün olan bir işlemin yapılmamış olmasından dolayı talik edilmişse, talike sebebiyet veren taraftan alınır.

Her iki halde talike vekiller sebebiyet vermişse celse harcı vekillere yüklenir.

Vekil veya taraflara yüklenilen celse harcı mütaakıp iki celsede ödenmezse bir misli fazlasiyle alınır. Ödenmediği takdirde harcın bu miktar üzerinden tahsili için Maliyeye tezkere yazılmasına karar verilir.
