Sources: 19. Developments: 2. The Turkish Court of Cassation (Yargıtay) has overturned a compensation ruling involving the family of Abuzer Atakan Gür, a jewelry store employee killed during an armed robbery in Antalya in October 2021. While the Antalya 4th Labor Court had previously ordered the employer to pay approximately 4.68 million TL due to inadequate security measures—specifically the lack of alarm systems and proper risk assessments—the 10th Civil Chamber of the Court of Cassation reversed the decision. The high court ruled that the “heavy fault of a third party” (the robber) broke the causal link regarding the employer's liability. The perpetrator, Serdar Ö., has already been sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment for the premeditated murder and robbery. Lawyers for the Gür family continue to contest the ruling, arguing that the criminal intent of a third party should not absolve an employer of their legal responsibility to ensure worker safety. The case remains a point of contention regarding the boundaries of workplace liability in the face of violent crime. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: Yargıtay overturns compensation ruling in Antalya jewelry robbery death Turkey's Supreme Court overturned a multi-million TL compensation ruling for a family of a worker killed in an Antalya jewelry robbery.
