Interruption of Limitation

Continuing correspondence about a claim does not invariably mean limitation has been interrupted. The interrupting action and claim covered must be identified. Dates and scope of acknowledgment, litigation, or enforcement must be shown through concrete documents.

Which Action Affects Time?

Articles 154 et seq. of the Turkish Code of Obligations regulate interruption. Acknowledgment, partial performance, or interest payments may be relevant. Litigation and enforcement are effective under their own conditions. Not every creditor notice or settlement discussion has the same effect. The debt and amount claimed matter.

The New Period and Pending File

The beginning and length of the new period depend on the interrupting action. Actions in pending proceedings must be checked individually. An old file appearing open does not alone prove every claim remains protected. Suspension of limitation and forfeiture periods differ from interruption.

The 2026 Partial-Action Rule

Article 109/4 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that, for the special increase in a partial action, limitation for the increased part is also interrupted from the filing date. Application depends on the action type, scope, and procedural stage. We prepare a chronology from contract to present, separately explaining each claim's alleged interruption and supporting date.

Documents That May Be Prepared for the Initial Review

• Acknowledgment of debt and partial payments
• Filing and claim documents
• The enforcement file's procedural history
• Service and decision dates
