The Forum Necessitatis Doctrine in Comparative Law and Turkish Law
Development summary
The article addresses the doctrine of forum necessitatis from a comparative-law perspective, explaining how a court that would otherwise lack jurisdiction in a dispute with a foreign element may exceptionally assume jurisdiction so that the claimant’s right of access to court is not defeated. It considers how the doctrine is regulated or applied in various national systems and in EU law, and then turns to Turkish law.
