If the pledge certificate has left the creditor's hands involuntarily or has been destroyed without the intention of extinguishing the debt, the creditor may, by having the pledge certificate and the coupon cancelled by court decision, demand that the debtor pay his debt and, if the claim has not yet fallen due, that a new pledge certificate or coupon be issued.

The cancellation decision shall be rendered in accordance with the provisions on the cancellation of negotiable instruments to bearer; however, the period for presentation shall be one year.

The debtor may also, under the same provisions, request the cancellation of a certificate that has not been returned despite having been paid.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 925 · 1. Senedin kaybedilmesi

Rehin senedi irade dışında elden çıkmış veya borcu sona erdirme kastı olmaksızın yok edilmiş ise alacaklı, rehin senedini ve kuponu mahkeme kararıyla iptal ettirerek borçludan borcunu ödemesini ve eğer alacak henüz muaccel değilse yeni bir rehin senedi veya kupon düzenlenmesini isteyebilir.

İptal kararı, hamile yazılı kıymetli evrakın iptaline ilişkin hükümler gereğince verilir; ancak, ibraz süresi bir yıldır.

Borçlu da ödenmiş olmasına rağmen geri verilmemiş olan senet için aynı hükümler uyarınca senedin iptalini isteyebilir.
