Turkish Code of Obligations

Article 35: 4. Fault in error

Division One: Obligations Arising from Contract A. Formation of the contract I. Declaration of intent

If the person in error was at fault for the error, that person is obliged to compensate the damage arising from the nullity of the contract. However, compensation may not be claimed if the other party knew or ought to have known of the error.

The judge may, where equity so requires, award greater compensation, provided that it does not exceed the benefit expected from performance.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 35 · 4. Yanılmada kusur

Yanılan, yanılmasında kusurlu ise, sözleşmenin hükümsüzlüğünden doğan zararı gidermekle yükümlüdür. Ancak, diğer taraf yanılmayı biliyor veya bilmesi gerekiyorsa, tazminat istenemez.

Hâkim, hakkaniyetin gerektirdiği durumlarda, ifadan beklenen yararı aşmamak kaydıyla, daha fazla tazminata hükmedebilir.
