Under art. 4 of the Turkish Commercial Code, disputes between two merchants relating to their commercial enterprise are absolute commercial cases and are heard by the commercial court of first instance. Matters arising solely from the Commercial Code or from specified commercial provisions of the Code of Obligations are also commercial. Above certain value thresholds, a mandatory panel of judges may sit. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
Under Law No. 7155, mediation before filing suit is a procedural prerequisite in commercial disputes concerning monetary claims and damages (Turkish Commercial Code art. 5/A).
