Turkey enacts 12th Judicial Package reforms after Official Gazette publication
Turkey's parliament approved the 12th Judicial Package (Law No. 7589), which was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force. The comprehensive reform touches enforcement and bankruptcy procedures, introduces an electronic auction portal, removes fees for digital notary document transmission, and extends the transition period for the Danıştay until July 2030.
Key provisions expand single‑judge jurisdiction for administrative and tax cases under 486,000 TRY, limit the interval between court sessions to three months, revise the HAGB (deferred judgment) rules, and create a penalty‑reduction scheme for individuals who share bank‑account (IBAN) information, cutting fines by half. Additional measures include training for judges and prosecutors, stricter timelines for hearings, and new rules on appellate review.
