Time Limits And Procedure In The Event Of A Case Being Brought Before An Incompetent Court: The Legal Consequences Of A Ruling On Lack Of Jurisdiction
The correct determination of which branch of the judiciary has jurisdiction over a dispute is important not only for identifying the judicial authority that will examine the merits of the case, but also for the effective exercise of the right to seek redress, the protection of time limits for bringing proceedings, and the observance of procedural rights acquired by the parties. This is because the division of jurisdiction between the ordinary and administrative courts relates to public order and may be taken into account ex officio by the courts at every stage of the proceedings

Improper Service In Turkish Enforcement Proceedings: Complaint And Time Limits
Proper service of a payment order or enforcement order determines when procedural time limits begin and whether an enforcement proceeding may be treated as final. If the period for objection is considered to have expired before the debtor becomes aware of the document, the creditor may proceed against bank accounts, receivables, movable assets or real estate. The first task in such a file is therefore to establish how service was attempted, at which address and on whom.
