Dismissal of A Board of Directors Member In Joint Stock Companies In The Framework of General Assembly Agenda

Abstract

Some of the provisions of the Turkish Civil Code that allowed statutory limitations in certain paternity cases have recently been annulled by the Turkish Constitutional Court. The related articles of the Civil Code used to prescribe a fixed time limitation with regard to the father who had to file a case under any circumstances five years after the birth of the child. Moreover, in the former version of the law there used to be a time limitation concerning the child too, who had to file such a case within one year after maturity. The Court's annulment included also the provision that prescribed at most five years in child adoptions. The Court has annulled the given time limitations on the grounds that such limitation restricts the freedom of claiming legal rights and by emphasising the right to know one's biological paternity. The purpose of this essay is to discuss these decisions within the framework of comparative law.
