Original Turkish text

MADDE 505 · 1. Talimata uygun ifa

Vekil, vekâlet verenin açık talimatına uymakla yükümlüdür. Ancak, vekâlet verenden izin alma imkânı bulunmadığında, durumu bilseydi onun da izin vereceği açık olan hâllerde, vekil talimattan ayrılabilir.

Bunun dışındaki durumlarda vekil, talimattan ayrılırsa, bundan doğan zararı karşılamadıkça işi görmüş olsa bile, vekâlet borcunu ifa etmiş olmaz.
