MADDE 122 · 3. Aşkın zarar

Alacaklı, temerrüt faizini aşan bir zarara uğramış olursa, borçlu kendisinin hiçbir kusuru bulunmadığını ispat etmedikçe, bu zararı da gidermekle yükümlüdür.

Temerrüt faizini aşan zarar miktarı görülmekte olan davada belirlenebiliyorsa, davacının istemi üzerine hâkim, esas hakkında karar verirken bu zararın miktarına da hükmeder.
