Yavuz & Uyanik & Akalin’s Murat Uyanik on the importance of the rule of law and the right to legal certainty in Turkish law
Labour Law in Turkey is one of the areas of law in which the most lawsuits are filed and with the highest number of file transfers to the Supreme Court, until the recent launch of the Appeal Courts. This matter is confirmed with the data published by the Ministry of Justice at the end of 2019. According to the relative data, 1,513,943 labour cases were filed between the years 2012 and 2019. According to the aforementioned data, the number of ongoing cases at the end of the year 2019 is 543,692. Upon the multiplying increase in the number of labour cases each year and the Supreme Court’s failure to bear the litigation burden, it has also been observed that the number of chambers coping with labour law disputes has increased to three in the last decade.
