The real question is turning a finding into a recovery. For a Turkish court or enforcement decision to be applied in Germany it has to be recognised and enforced there, which is governed by the Private International Law Act (MÖHUK, No. 5718) together with the reciprocity and procedural rules between the countries concerned.

We run the process and manage the flow of documents between the two countries.
