Redesigning the Turkish Civil Litigation System in the Light of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR)

Abstract

Currently, there are important developments across the world concerning online dispu-te resolution (ODR) methods. It would not be wrong to consider these ODR developments as a new movement, similar to the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods available in the European Union. Therefore, these developments may have effects throughout judicial sys-tems. In the long run, the existence of ODR-infused judicial procedures may be deemed es-sential for adequate access to justice. In this article, we tried to rethink the Turkish civil litiga-tion system in the light of ODR. It should be stressed that technology cannot solve all the problems of the judiciary. However, if technology can be applied properly and carefully, even-tually it would be possible to find solutions for some of the structural flaws inherent in the current Turkish civil litigation system. Such a result would not be a small achievement in terms of access to justice.

Türk Hukuk Yargılama Sistemi ve UYAP Sistemini Çevrim İçi Uyuşmazlık Çözüm Yöntemleri Doğrultusunda Yeniden Tasarlamak

Abstract

Günümüzde çevrim içi uyuşmazlık çözüm yöntemlerine (ODR) ilişkin dünya genelinde önemli gelişmeler yaşanmaktadır. Bu gelişmeleri, Avrupa Birliği'ndeki alternatif uyuşmazlık çözümü (ADR) yöntemlerine benzer yeni bir hareket olarak değerlendirmek yanlış olmayacaktır. Dolayısıyla bu gelişmeler yargı sistemlerini etkileyebilir. Uzun vadede, ODR'den beslenen yargı usullerinin varlığı, adalete yeterli erişim için zorunlu görülebilir. Bu nedenle bu makalede, Türk hukuk yargılama sistemini ODR ışığında yeniden düşünmeye çalıştık. Teknolojinin yargının tüm sorunlarını çözemeyeceğini vurgulamak gerekmekle birlikte teknolojik gelişmeler, doğru ve dikkatli bir şekilde uygulanabilirse, mevcut Türk medeni yargılama sisteminin yapısal sorunlarından bazılarına çözüm bulmak mümkün olabilir. Böyle bir sonuç, adalete erişim açısından önemsiz bir başarı olmayacaktır.
