The Vakfıkebir Civil Court of Peace in Turkey has issued a public notice for a lawsuit concerning the partition of co-owned property (Paylı Mülkiyette Ortaklığın Giderilmesi). The court attempted to serve the lawsuit documents and hearing notice to the defendant, Rasim Rakap, at his registered address. However, the delivery failed as Rakap had moved, and subsequent inquiries could not ascertain his new location.
Consequently, the court has decided to officially announce the lawsuit and the hearing date through this publication. The hearing is scheduled for November 6, 2026, at 1:55 PM. Rasim Rakap is required to appear in court in person or through a legally appointed representative.
Failure to attend the hearing or be represented will result in the trial proceeding in his absence, as per Article 213/2 of the Civil Procedure Code (H.U.M.K.), as amended by Law No. 3156. This public notice serves as the official notification for the lawsuit and the hearing date.
