MADDE 76 · III. Geçici ödemeler

Zarar gören, iddiasının haklılığını gösteren inandırıcı kanıtlar sunduğu ve ekonomik durumu da gerektirdiği takdirde hâkim, istem üzerine davalının zarar görene geçici ödeme yapmasına karar verebilir.

Davalının yaptığı geçici ödemeler, hükmedilen tazminata mahsup edilir; tazminata hükmedilmezse hâkim, davacının aldığı geçici ödemeleri, yasal faizi ile birlikte geri vermesine karar verir.
