Article 959: I. Scope of the charge

Book Four: LAW OF PROPERTY › Part Two: LIMITED RIGHTS IN REM › Chapter Three: PLEDGE OF MOVABLES › Division Two: PLEDGE OF CLAIMS AND OTHER RIGHTS

Where claims producing periodic income, such as interest or dividends, have been pledged, unless otherwise agreed, only those whose due dates have not yet arrived fall within the scope of the pledge, and the pledge does not cover payments that have already fallen due.

If special documents have been issued for such ancillary payments, unless otherwise agreed, their inclusion within the scope of the pledge depends on their having been pledged in compliance with the formal requirements.

MADDE 959 · I. Rehnin kapsamı

Faiz veya kâr payı gibi dönemsel gelir getiren alacakların rehnedilmiş olması hâlinde, aksi kararlaştırılmış olmadıkça, bunlardan yalnız vadeleri henüz gelmemiş olanlar rehnin kapsamına girer ve rehin, vadeleri geçmiş olan edimleri kapsamaz.

Bu tür yan edimler için özel senetler düzenlenmiş ise, aksi kararlaştırılmış olmadıkça, bunların rehin kapsamına girmesi, şekil koşullarına uygun olarak rehnedilmelerine bağlıdır.
