Part Two: Special Obligational Relationships › Chapter One: Contract of Sale › Division Two: Sale of Movable Property

If part of the object sold has been taken from the buyer or the object sold is encumbered with a limited real right, the buyer may only claim compensation for the damage suffered as a result.

However, if it is apparent from the circumstances and conditions that the buyer would not have purchased the object sold had the buyer known of this situation, the buyer may request the judge to rule that the contract is terminated. In this case, the buyer shall be obliged to return to the seller the part of the object sold remaining in the buyer's hands, together with the benefits obtained therefrom up to that time.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 218 · b. Kısmi zapt hâlinde

Satılanın bir kısmı elinden alınmış veya satılan sınırlı ayni bir hakla yüklenmişse alıcı, sadece bu yüzden uğradığı zararın giderilmesini isteyebilir.

Ancak alıcının, satılandaki bu durumu bilseydi onu satın almayacağı durum ve koşullardan anlaşılıyorsa, alıcı hâkimden sözleşmenin sona ermesine karar vermesini isteyebilir. Bu durumda alıcı, satılanın elinde kalmış olan kısmını o zamana kadar elde etmiş olduğu yararlarla birlikte, satıcıya geri vermekle yükümlüdür.
