Dear Forum Members,
Firstly, I apologise for any of my naive comments and questions as I'm not
a lawyer. But I need to ask a few questions as I work as a translator
overseas.
My first question, although very general,is about the law of torts of
Turkey. "Tresspass to the person" . When does it become a criminal act
(hence referred to High Court) and when is it considered a civil act hence
stays with the District court? As for the previous conviction of the
defendant, how much consideration is given? What are the charges and
punitive damages?
Secondly, I realise that's a lot of questions and may not be possible to
answer with a few lines. Therefore, what would be an authoritive text
book on Torts?
Again I apologise for such a general question but I believe a forum on Turk
Hukuk Sitesi is a good place to start asking legal questions.
