AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATION ON DISTANCE CONTRACTS: RETURN SHIPPING FEES AND RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FOR ELECTRONICS
With the Regulation Amending the Regulation on Distance Contracts ("Amending Regulation") published in the Official Gazette dated May 24, 2025 and numbered 32909, important amendments were made regarding distance sales. The key changes introduced by the Amending Regulation are as follows:
ALIMONY AGAINST INFLATION: ADJUSTMEN OF ALIMONY AND THE ISSUE OF PAYMENT IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
Alimony for supplementary welfare allowance and child support awarded by court judgment as a result of divorce cases is generally fixed at a certain amount and either remains the same over the years or is increased only within limited rates determined by the court. Similarly, the provisional alimony determined during the litigation process can become insufficient over time due to the prolonged duration of the proceedings and high inflation; this significantly hampers the effectiveness of alimony enforcement.
