Re vie w Of The Court Of Appeal’s Decision On Consumer Courts’ Jurisdiction On Culpa In Contrahendo Liability

Abstract

Joint Civil Chambers of the Court of Cassation ruled that Consumer Courts have jurisdiction in the lawsuit brought by the consumer who suffered from the package that dropped on him while the product that he wants to purchase was being showed. The dispute is related to the fault-based culpa in contrahendo liability which had arisen prior to the conclusion of the contract. Article 23 of the Consumer Protection Law draws the frame of the Consumer Courts’ jurisdiction and states that these courts have jurisdiction in “any dispute arising from the execution of this Law”. “Consumer act”, which is taken as a central element by determining the scope of the Law in the Article 2, is defined as “any legal transaction between consumer and seller-supplier” in the Article 3. Since the scope of Consumer Protection Law is based on legal transaction, it is necessary to determine whether there is such a legal transaction between the parties of the dispute. Even if general provisions of contracts are applicable to culpa in contrahendo liability, a legal transaction arose as a contract is not yet appeared at this stage. The dispute arising from the contract negotiations should be excluded from the scope of Consumer Protection Law and the jurisdiction of the Consumer Courts due to the fact that sole contract negotiations cannot be regarded as a “legal transaction”.
