Debt Claims

An amount not yet fully calculable requires careful choice of the claim's form when filing. Checking the dates of older books and online explanations is particularly important. The 31 July 2026 amendment distinguishes assessment of new cases from previously filed unquantified claims.

What Does the 2026 Amendment Affect?

Law No. 7589 repealed Article 107 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The transitional provision continues the former rule for cases filed before repeal. Earlier explanations of unquantified claims should therefore not be used directly for a new case. No route can be selected without reviewing the existing case's filing date, claim type, and earlier increases.

Increasing a Partial Claim

Article 109/4 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides a special one-time increase within the same partial action until the end of the evidentiary examination. Limitation for the increased portion is also interrupted from filing. This does not remove the importance of the legal relationship and claim component asserted initially. Adding a new demand differs from increasing an amount.

Which Steps Are Checked in the File?

The filing date, relief sought, calculation reports, interim decisions, and procedural stage must be examined together. Interest commencement and allocation of payments are assessed separately from the claim's form. Fees and other procedural steps must enter the plan. We prepare a written course of action using the current regime for new cases and transitional rules and exercised rights for pending ones.
