Notice by Publication
Article 48 stipulates the notice by publication. Pursuant to this arti-
cle, the address of the addressee is attempted to be determined by the
notification authority if the notice may not be made or addressee’s
address may not be determined by the process server or his address
may not be determined from the address registry system. The authori-
ty shall first investigate from the official or private organizations; if he
receives a negative result he shall investigate through police inquiry. If
the investigation does not give any result, the address is deemed to be
unknown and the addressee shall be served by publication.
The notice by publication shall be made through Press
Announcements Institution electronically and on the gazette issued at
the place of the authority, which will make the notification in order to
procure the addressee to be informed. The document and a copy of
notice paper shall be displayed for a period of 1 month at the place of
the authority which will be seen easily by all people. The authority
may decide to make a second publication if it deems necessary. The
notification shall be deemed to be made 7 days later following the last
publication date.
Inadequacy of Notice, Publication at Night and Holidays
It is regulated in Article 53 and the following articles. Accordingly,
the notification shall be deemed to be made if the addressee has been
informed despite the fact that the notice is invalid. The date which the
addressee declared that he has been informed is deemed to be the noti-
fication date.
Notification may be made at night. It may also be made on nation-
al holidays and judiciary holidays.
Conclusion
As it is clearly outlined above, the Regulation which sets forth the
procedure and principles of the implementation of Act of Notification
has brought simplicity and acceleration to notification transactions.
