International Law

European Convention On Human Rights
6 Of The European Convention On Human Rights (Convention). the relevant part of Paragraph (1) of the article is as follows::

“Everyone has the right to ask for his case to be heard by a court which will decide on disputes relating to his civil rights and obligations.…”

Case Law Of The European Court Of Human Rights
European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), 6th ed. although paragraph (1) does not explicitly mention the right of access to the court or judicial authority, it has been concluded that the terms used in the article, taken into account with their context as a whole, also guarantees my right of access to the court (Golder v. United Kingdom, B. No.: 4451/70, 21/2/1975, §§ 28-36). According to the ECHR, the right of access to court is the 6th amendment of the convention. paragraph (1) of the article is mündemic. This inference is not an expansionary interpretation that imposes new obligations on the contracting states 6. it is based on the reading of the first sentence of Paragraph (1) of the article together with the purposes and objectives of the Convention and the general principles of law. As a result, the convention’s 6th. paragraph (1) of the article covers that everyone has the right to bring his claims about civil rights and obligations before the court (Golder v. United Kingdom, § 36).
The ECtHR recognises that the right to access the court, which constitutes an element of a fair trial, is not absolute, and that this right, which by its nature requires the state to regulate, may be limited to a certain extent. However, the ECtHR states that these limitations should not restrict or weaken a person’s access to the court in a way that damages the very essence of the right. According to the ECtHR, limitations which do not have a legitimate purpose or establish a reasonable proportionality relationship between the applied instrument and the intended purpose shall be determined by convention 6. does not comply with the first paragraph of the article (Sefer Yilmaz and Meryem Yilmaz/Turkey, B. No: 611/12, 17/11/2015, § 59; My Wife/Turkey, B. No. 59601/09, 17/9/2013, § 19; Edificaciones March Gallego S.A./ Spain, B. No. 28028/95, 19/2/1998, § 34).
According to the ECtHR, there is no law preventing access to the means of application in domestic law 6. it may not always be sufficient for the fulfillment of the requirements in Paragraph (1) of the article. Considering the function of the rule of law in democratic society, it is understood that the degree of access provided by the legislator should also be sufficient to secure the “right of court”of individuals. In order for the right of access to be effective, the individual must have clear and practical opportunities to articulate his arguments against action and action that constitutes interference with his right (Bellet v. France, B. No. 23805/94, 4/12/1995, § 36).
Menemen Chamber of Minibuskers-Turkey (B. No: 44088/04, 9/12/2008, §§ 4-11) in the case of the blackout, a regulatory action was taken by the governor to provide temporary route authorization certificate provided that certain categories of vehicles are insured. The menemen Menemen Minibusers ‘ chamber is directly involved in this regulatory process, which operates on the Menemen-Izmir line. The Administrative Court has cancelled the regulatory action after a lawsuit filed against the governor’s office by the Menemen passenger buses motor vehicles Cooperative against the regulatory action in question. The governor’s office has appealed the decision. The Menemen Chamber of Minibusers has filed an intervention petition during the appeal phase. On 16/3/2004, the Council of state upheld the decision of the court of first instance shortly after accepting the applicant’s request for intervention. On 7/5/2004, the governorship issued a new regulatory action allowing the applicant’s vehicles, but this action was cancelled by the Administrative Court on 11/1/2005. On 23/5/2005, the applicant was notified to cease the transport activities.
The ECtHR referred to the law No. 2577 on Civil Procedure in relation to the procedure for the notification of the case 31. he pointed out that the article specifically stipulates that the notification of the case to third parties whose interests are affected by the dispute in question is to be “resen” by the court (Menemen Chamber of minibus players v. Turkey, § 25). The ECtHR stressed that despite the explicit wording of the article, the court did not inform the applicant of the dispute. According to the ECtHR, as a result, the applicant was deprived of the opportunity to be heard due to his inability to attend the trial at the first-degree stage – in the first case. Because the reasons for appeal were subject to the limited number rule, the applicant could not put forward his objections to the merits in the Council of state. In relation to the second case, the law No. 2577 was amended by law No. 31. the applicant has been completely out of touch with the dispute due to non-compliance with the clause. The applicant did not have the opportunity to make my claims in the Council of State, even if limited, because the governor’s office as the principal party did not appeal the decision (Menemen Chamber of minibus players/Turkey, § 26).
In this context, the ECtHR considers the application and the National Courts Act No. 2577, 31. it concluded that failure to perform the requirements in the article prevented the applicant from being heard in relation to the dispute directly affecting his rights and obligations and that the applicant’s right to access the court was violated (Menemen Chamber of minibus players/Turkey, § § 27,28),
V.REVIEW AND JUSTIFICATION

At the meeting of the court held on 24/5/2018, the application was examined and considered necessary:
A.Applicants ‘ Claims

The applicants complain that they lack the opportunity to present evidence and prove their claims at the trial stage because the court did not inform them of the case, even though the annulment provision given in the case on the basis of the individual application results directly against them. The applicants are informed about the case in question by writing sent in response to their application to the municipality upon hearing that the zoning plan for the property they own has been cancelled. The applicants, who stated that both the value of their real estate has fallen due to the cancellation of the zoning plan and that they lack the rental income they provide, complain that they cannot express these claims to protect their legal interests due to their lack of participation in the case; Article 36 of the Constitution. it asserts that the rights to a fair trial secured in the article have been violated.

B.Evaluation

The 36th edition of the Constitution entitled “freedom to seek rights” edge. the first paragraph of the article is as follows::
“Everyone has the right to a fair trial by claiming and defending as a plaintiff or defendant before the judicial authorities by making use of legitimate means and Means.”

The Constitutional Court is not bound by the legal characterisation of events made by the applicant, but appreciates the legal advice of events and facts (Tahir Canan, B. No: 2012/969, 18/9/2013, § 16). The essence of the applicants ‘ complaints is that they have not been allowed to participate in the trial in order to effectively exercise the right of defence that must be granted to them in an administrative case in which they are directly affected by the outcome. Therefore, claims of infringement in the context of the applicants ‘ stated complaints are examined under the right to access court.
In Terms Of Acceptability
In the concrete case, the decision on the individual application was finalized on 11/9/2013 and the individual application was made on 19/8/2015. The applicants claim that they have made an individual application within the period from this date when the reply letter regarding the application made to the municipality for the purpose of obtaining information was notified on 22/7/2015.
At this point, it is necessary to remind that the applicants are not informed of the case in question, which they claim affects their interests as a result of the violation allegations in this individual application. On the other hand, in the concrete case, it is observed that the tenant company continues to operate the fuel station after the construction plans have been cancelled by the judicial decision, due to the fact that the operating license of the tenant company has not yet been revoked and that a new development plan regarding the relocation has not yet been made as of 22/7/2015, In other words, it is understood that the material and legal consequences of the case, which would allow the applicants to be informed of the trial in question, have not been revealed for some time.
Accordingly, in the special circumstances of the material event, no concrete findings were found within the scope of the file, which would justify the acceptance that the violation was learned before 22/7/2015, which is the date on which the relevant article of the municipality was notified, or which would require the conviction that the applicants did not fulfill their duty of care in this respect. In this respect, it has been accepted that the application was made within thirty days of the date 22/7/2015 when the breach was learned.
On the other hand, it must be decided that the application for violation of the right of access to the court, which is not clearly lacking in basis and which has no other reason to be ruled inadmissible, is acceptable.
Main Aspect
a.Scope of right and half of intervention

36 of the Constitution. in the first paragraph of the article, it is stated that everyone has the right to claim and defend as a plaintiff or defendant before the judicial authorities. Hence the right to access the court is the 36th amendment of the Constitution. the German rights guaranteed in the article are an element of freedom to seek. On the other hand, 36 of the Constitution. the reason for adding the phrase “fair trial” to the article is that the right to a fair trial guaranteed by the international conventions to which Turkey is a party is included in the article (Özbakım Özel Hiz. Inş. Type. Chance. and Tic. Co. Ltd., B. No: 2014/13156, 20/4/2017, § 34).
36 of the Constitution. in addition to being a fundamental right, the German freedom to seek rights guaranteed in its article is one of the most effective safeguards that ensure the proper enjoyment and protection of other fundamental rights and freedoms. In this respect, in order for the case to be seen by a court and for the person to benefit from the guarantees covered by the right to a fair trial, the person must first be given the opportunity to present his claims. In other words, if there is no case, it is not possible to take advantage of the guarantees provided by the right to a fair trial (Mohammed Aynosah, B. No: 2013/8896, 23/2/2016, § 33).
The Constitutional Court has stated that the right of access to the court means the right to move a dispute before the court and to request that the dispute be decided effectively (Özkan Şen, B. No: 2012/791, 7/11/2013, § 52).
In addition to being able to sue individuals for actions that affect their interests, providing them with the opportunity to participate in a case opened by third parties in order to voice their claims and defenses in a case that they are not directly parties to but which ultimately affects their interests is one of the safeguards that must be considered within the scope of In this respect, the people whose interests will be affected by the outcome of a case should be able to have information about this trial, to be able to explain the results and the issues they think are effective for the settlement of the dispute, and to present evidence to prove their claims. This is also related to the principle of equality of arms and contradictory trial, as it will enable judicial authorities to make reasoned decisions after taking all data into account and making an assessment. As a matter of fact, the law No. 6100 was passed on 27. in the article, an arrangement of a nature consistent with the guarantees of the right of access to the court has been introduced and states that the parties of the case, as well as the interveners and other interested parties of the trial, have the right to a legal hearing in connection with their rights. Therefore, the court shall not be able to evaluate the merits of the case without giving the parties, the participants and the other persons of the trial the opportunity to exercise the right of Defense (Yusuf Bilin, B. No: 2014/14498, 26/12/2017, § 44; see for similar assessments. Mehmet Ali Badr and Tevfik Günay, B. No: 2013/4073, 21/1/2016, § 35).
Failure to participate in a case by not being informed of a case that affects the individual’s interests as a result and deprived of the opportunity to present their arguments before the court constitutes an interference with the right of access to the court.
In the case of the individual application, there is an administrative case in which the development plans for the real estate owned by the applicants are subject to dispute. In this lawsuit filed by a company, the cancellation of parts of the construction plans regarding the separation of the real estate as a fuel station area was requested. As a result of the trial, the zoning plans in question were cancelled. As a matter of fact, it is seen that the cancellation provision shows the effect and results on the applicants directly and that the real estate, which the applicants have a share ownership in accordance with the mentioned decision, has been removed from being a fuel station area in the zoning plan and is included in the rescheduling process. In this respect, it was concluded that there was an interference with the right of access to the court due to the failure of the applicants to participate in the Proceedings of an administrative case in which they were directly affected by the outcome.

b.Whether The Intervention Constituted A Violation

13 of the Constitution. the relevant part of the article is as follows::
“Fundamental rights and freedoms, … can only be limited by law, depending on the reasons set forth in the relevant articles of the Constitution. These limitations cannot be contrary to the principle of moderation.”

The above-mentioned intervention is the 13th amendment of the Constitution. 36 of the Constitution if it does not comply with the conditions specified in Article. it would constitute a violation of the clause.
For this reason, the intervention of the constitution 13. it is necessary to determine whether it is appropriate to the conditions stipulated in the article and which are in accordance with the concrete application, to be foreseen by the law, to be based on a justified reason and not to be contrary to the principle of dimensionality.
i.Lawfulness

31 of Law No. 2577. it is stated in the article that the notification of the case will be made official by the court. It is understood that this regulation also includes the discretion granted to the judicial authority on whether or not the case should be reported to the third party. In the concrete case, it is observed that the applicants cannot participate in the trial process as the courts of degrees use their discretion to ensure that the case is not reported to the applicants. The application of the court in question was made in accordance with the law No. 2577 No. 31. considering that it is based on the article, it is concluded that there is a legal basis for interference with the applicants ‘ right to access the court.
ii.Legitimate Purpose

36 of the Constitution. although the article does not specify a reason for limitation of freedom to seek rights, it cannot be said that this is an absolute right that cannot be restricted in any way. It is also accepted that the rights which have not been specifically restricted have some limits due to the nature of the right. In addition, although there is no reason for limitation in the article regulating the right, it may be possible to limit these rights based on the rules contained in other articles of the Constitution. It is clear that some regulation on the scope of the right to sue and the conditions of use are rules that set out the limits arising from the nature of the freedom to seek rights and set out the norm area of the right. These limitations, however, are the 13th amendment of the Constitution. it cannot be contrary to the guarantees contained in the article (AYM, E.2015/96, K.2016/9, 10/2/2016, § 10; Ertuğrul Dalbaş, B. No: 2014/7805, 25/10/2017, § 58; Osman Uslu, B. No: 2014/9414, 26/10/2017, § 75).
The notification of the case is a procedural law institution which ensures that the individual is informed of a case which is not his party but which, as a result, affects his interests in order to allow him to exercise his rights through intervention and other means. However, in order to ensure that the proceedings are carried out within a reasonable period of time, in an orderly manner and without unnecessary expense, and thus to realize the principle of procedural economics, the notification of the case is bound to certain conditions and rules of procedure. Proceedings in the determination of the observance of procedural economy, therefore, the administration of justice by providing better 2 of the Constitution of the realization of the public interest. it is one of the requirements of the rule of law. Therefore, it is possible to link the reporting of the case to certain conditions and rules of procedure by considering the principles of procedural economics and good Justice Management (Yusuf Bilin, § 54).
However, it should not be overlooked that it is a requirement of the right of access to the court that third parties may voice their claims and defenses in a case that, as a result, affects the interests of individuals. In such a case, public authorities would be expected to strike a reasonable balance between the public interest in the procedural economy and the individual benefit of individuals to enjoy the right of access to court. Where the individual’s individual benefit in access to the court is clearly dominant, the fact that restricting access to the court on the grounds of procedural economics may prove to be a legitimate goal may become controversial. In other words, 2 of the Constitution in such cases. it may not be possible to say that the clause allows the limitation of the right to access the court (Yusuf Bilin, § 55).
In the concrete case, considering that the cancellation of the development plans for the property they own directly affects the interest of the applicants, there is serious doubt that the public interest in providing procedural economy is of importance and weight to ignore the individual benefits of the applicants ‘ participation in the case in the intervention to the right of access to court by not notifying the Therefore, it was considered that it would be more appropriate to consider the existence of legitimate purpose together with the measurement of intervention below.
iii. Moderation

(1) General Principles

The principle of moderation consists of three sub-principles: “appropriateness”, “necessity” and “proportionality”. “Availability” is prescribed to achieve the desired goal of the intervention to be convenient in, “of necessity” in terms of the desired objective, i.e., mandatory intervention the intervention achieve the same purpose with a lighter not being able to “proportionality” if the rights of the individual with the observance of a reasonable balance between the necessity of intervention refers to the desired objective (Mehmet Akdoğan and others, B. No: 2013/817, 19/12/2013, § 38).
Proportionality, the third sub-principle of moderation, requires a fair balance between the protection of the public good and the rights and freedoms of the individual. In the event that the prescribed measure puts the individual under an extraordinary and excessive burden, it cannot be said that the intervention is proportionate and therefore measured. In this respect, it is necessary to determine whether an excessive and disproportionate burden has been placed on the applicants by the measure applied.
The Constitutional Court stated that the limitations that prevent the person from applying to the court or render the court’s decision meaningless, in other words, significantly neutralize the court’s decision, may violate my right to access the court (Özkan Şen, § 52).
The provision of certain conditions and rules of procedure for third parties to participate in a case affecting their own interests does not constitute a violation of the right to access the court unless these conditions and rules make it impossible or extremely difficult to participate in the case. However, as a result of the improper application of these conditions and rules by the judicial authority in a clear violation of the law, preventing people who wish to protect their interests in disputes affecting them from participating in the case may violate their right to access the court. For this reason, courts should refrain from attitudes, interpretations and assessments that would damage the fairness of the proceedings when examining whether these conditions have been met and applying procedural rules (Yusuf Bilin, § 51).
31 of Law No. 2577. the article stated that the law of Civil Procedure would be applied in the matters of participation of third parties in the case and notification of the case, but it was stipulated that the notification of the case would be made official by the court. 66 of Law No. 6100. in this article, the third person’s legal benefit in winning the case with the party and in order to assist him in the case until the end of the investigation is connected to the rule that he can take part in the case as an intervention., It is important to ensure the effective participation of third parties, not only in form but also in cases where the procedures and actions of the administration are taken in the administrative jurisdiction where the legal compliance audit is performed, in order to ensure the assurance of the right to a fair trial. The most important result of the exercise of this right in terms of procedural law is that it is necessary to inform third parties who have legal means to participate in the case because their interests will be directly or indirectly affected by the decision to be made in the case (Yusuf Bilin, § 59).
At this point, the 31st amendment of Law No. 2577. it should be noted that the regulation stated in the article, which stipulates that the notification of the case shall be made by the court, cannot be construed as requiring the administrative judicial authority to inform all persons concerned about an administrative case that is being handled by the administrative judicial authority. Therefore, the courts of degrees have the discretion to operate the procedural provisions relating to the notice institution, which are brought to third parties who may be affected by the outcome of the case in order to present their arguments before the court in connection with their rights. In this context, it is essentially the duty of the courts of degrees to assess whether the third person will be affected by the outcome of the case in the special circumstances of each concrete event and whether I have the legal benefit of participating in the case. It will not be the duty of the Constitutional Court to monitor the discretion of the court of degrees in the operation of the notice institution unless there is a finding that an approach has been taken to prejudice the fairness of the proceedings by depriving the applicant of the opportunity to present his arguments on a dispute which is very clear that the exercise of this discretion
(2) Application Of Principles To The Event

The basis for the individual application is very clear at first glance that the applicants will be directly affected by the outcome of the stated case, and that they have legal benefits in participating in the case in this respect, considering the subject matter of the case and the nature of the dispute.
In this case, it is clear that the applicants have a number of interests that intersect and overlap with the tenant company (intervening) involved in the case alongside the defendant administrations and the defendant administrations. In this context, it is seen that there is not any element of illegality that would require the cancellation of the zoning plans being sued, and some issues that may be suggested by the applicants have already been expressed by the defendant administrations and the intervention during the trial process. However, it is also foreseeable that the applicants may make additional claims which can only be put forward by them in relation to the dispute in question, especially since they have the title of owner of the property subject to dispute. As a matter of fact, the claims that the applicants put forward in the individual application form, especially in the context of property rights, and stated that they should be considered by the courts of degrees (see article). § 35) it is understood that it was not brought forward by the defendant administrations and the intervening in the trial process. In this respect, it cannot be said that the courts of degrees have reached a conclusion by evaluating the allegations in the trial process. Therefore, if the applicants had participated in the case, it should not be discredited that they were involved in different claims that would require additional assessments/reviews to be made in the evaluation of the court of degrees decision.
Accordingly, in the concrete case, it is understood that the applicants were unable to participate in the proceedings concerning their real estate due to not informing them of the case, were completely out of touch with the dispute, did not have the opportunity to express their views on the merits of the dispute and to present evidence to prove their claims.
