Negative Declaration and Check Cancellation Petition
TO THE DUTY PRIMARY COMMERCIAL COURT
[CITY NAME]
PLAINTIFF: [Name and Surname] – (Turkish Republic Identity Number: …) – [Address]
REPRESENTATIVE: [Attorney's Name and Surname] – [Address]
DEFENDANT: [Name and Surname] – [Address]
SUBJECT OF THE LAWSUIT: Negative declaratory judgment and cancellation of the check.
D. VALUE: [Amount] Turkish Lira.
EXPLANATIONS:
- My client purchased [Product Name] from [Defendant Name] as part of their commercial activity and issued a check for these products. However, shortly after receiving the products, it was discovered that the product sent by [Defendant Name] was not suitable for consumption because it did not meet the specifications stated to the recipient; in other words, the product was defective. This was further confirmed by analyses conducted at the authorized [Agricultural and Rural Affairs] Laboratories. Despite my client repeatedly requesting the return of the check for these defective products, the defendant has ignored this request and has not returned the check.
- As the check's maturity date approaches, there is a possibility that the defendant, or any third party to whom the check was endorsed, may present it to the bank for collection. This situation would actually lead to a financial hardship for my client, as he would be indebted despite having been sold a defective product. My client has no debt, but would suffer a great injustice if the check were to be collected.
- Furthermore, my client has suffered significant financial losses due to the defective products and reserves the right to file a separate lawsuit for compensation for these losses. This lawsuit has been filed solely to relieve my client of the wrongful debt obligation arising from the aforementioned check.
- For all these reasons, it has become necessary to request the cancellation of the check in question, a determination that my client has no debt to the defendant, and the imposition of a precautionary measure on the check pursuant to Article 72/2 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law to prevent payment until the end of the lawsuit.
EVIDENCE:
- Agreement,
- Czech,
- Laboratory test results,
- Expert examination,
- Correspondence,
- Oath vs. all kinds of evidence.
LEGAL GROUNDS: Article 72 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law and related legislation.
CONCLUSION AND REQUEST: For the reasons briefly explained above and to be considered ex officio, I respectfully request and demand that the lawsuit be accepted, that the bearer check issued by my client to the defendant, dated [Date of Issue], numbered [Check Number], and for the amount of [Amount] Turkish Lira, be cancelled, that it be determined that my client has no debt to the defendant, that a precautionary measure, with or without security, be placed on the relevant check pursuant to Article 72/2 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law to prevent payment of the check until the end of the lawsuit, and that the court costs and attorney's fees be borne by the defendant. …/…/…
