Pre-Examination by Turkish Civil Law Procedure

The Preliminary Investigation Stage is one of the most important innovations introduced by 6100 Civil Procedure Law. Preliminary Investigation Stage is held after the phase of 6100 Law petitions and/but before investigation phase. With this stage the important responsibilities are required from both judge and parties of the litigation of the case. First of all, at the beginning of the case, parties of the litigation are required to be seriously prepared for the case and the judge must be acquainted well with the file. In addition, encouraging the peace among the parties is another very important responsibility of the judge, required by this stage. The elimination of the factors that may unnecessarily prolong the proceedings is also among the targets of this stage. From this point of view, the success of the Law depends on the success of the Preliminary Investigation Stage.
