Article 107: II. Deficiencies

Book One: LAW OF PERSONS › Part Two: LEGAL PERSONS › Chapter Three: FOUNDATIONS A. Establishment

If the purpose of the foundation and the property and rights dedicated to that purpose are sufficiently specified in the foundation deed, other deficiencies shall not require the rejection of the application made for the foundation to acquire legal personality.

Such deficiencies may be remedied at the instance of the court before the registration decision is rendered; after establishment, they shall also be remedied at the instance of the court of the foundation's domicile upon application by the supervisory authority, after taking the opinion of the founder where possible.

If the property and rights dedicated by a disposition mortis causa to the foundation whose registration is requested are not sufficient to achieve the purpose, then, unless the founder has declared a contrary intention, such property and rights shall be dedicated by the judge to a foundation with a similar purpose, after taking the opinion of the supervisory authority.

MADDE 107 · II. Noksanlıklar

Vakıf senedinde vakfın amacı ile bu amaca özgülenen mal ve haklar yeterince belirlenmiş ise, diğer noksanlıklar vakfın tüzel kişilik kazanması için yapılan başvurunun reddini gerektirmez.

Bu tür noksanlıklar, tescil kararı verilmeden önce mahkemece tamamlattırılabileceği gibi; kuruluştan sonra da denetim makamının başvurusu üzerine, olanak varsa vakfedenin görüşü alınarak vakfın yerleşim yeri mahkemesince tamamlattırılır.

Tescili istenen vakfa ölüme bağlı tasarrufla özgülenen mal ve haklar amacın gerçekleşmesine yeterli değilse; vakfeden aksine bir irade açıklamasında bulunmuş olmadıkça bu mal ve haklar, denetim makamının görüşü alınarak hâkim tarafından benzer amaçlı bir vakfa özgülenir.
