With the Law Amending the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law and Certain Laws, Article 79/a has been added to the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law following the 79. Article. The mentioned article regulates how the seizure at the residence will be made and the seizure at the residence was subjected to a decision of the execution court. Pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 80 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law; if the debtor is not present at the place where the property is located at the time of seizure and it is not possible to have him present immediately, the seizure is made in the absence of the debtor. The execution office may enter the debtor’s residence without a court order, and if the debtor is not present, the execution office may enter the residence with the help of a locksmith and carry out the seizure. Although the seizure by entering the debtor’s residence without a court order is clearly contrary to the right to inviolability of the residence and the right to privacy, and has been criticised by the doctrine, it has not been subject to the decision of the Constitutional Court. On 05.04.2023, with the Law on the Amendment of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law and Certain Laws, which entered into force after being published in the Official Gazette on 05.04.2023, the seizure of the residence was subject to the decision of the execution court. In this study, the status of the seizure provisions in the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law and whether this regulation is appropriate or not will be evaluated.

İcra ve İflâs Kanunu ile Bazı Kanunlarda Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanunla İcra ve İflâs Kanunu’na 79. maddesinden sonra gelmek üzere 79/a maddesi eklenmiştir. İlgili maddede, konutta haczin nasıl yapılacağını düzenlenmiş ve konutta haciz yapılması icra mahkemesi kararına bağlanmıştır. İcra ve İflâs Kanunu’nda değişiklik öncesi, mahkeme kararı olmaksızın borçlunun konutuna girebilmekte hatta borçlunun bulunmaması halinde çilingir marifetiyle konuta girerek haciz işlemini gerçekleştirmekteydi. Mahkeme kararı olmaksızın borçlunun konutuna girilerek haciz yapılması, konut dokunulmazlığı hakkı ve özel hayatın gizliliğine açıkça aykırı olduğu belirtilerek eleştirilmekteydi. 05.04.2023 tarihinde Resmî Gazetede yayınlanarak yürürlüğe giren İcra ve İflâs Kanunu ile Bazı Kanunlarda Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanunla konutta haciz işleminin yapılması icra mahkemesi kararına bağlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, İcra ve İflâs Kanunu’nda yer alan konutta haciz hükümleri ve bu hükümlerin yerinde olup olmadığı değerlendirilecektir.
