Abstract

Adding some clauses which are originated from Common Law system to contracts usually causes ambiguity since they are not generally used terms in Turkish law. One of these terms is Best Efforts which can be translated as "azami/üstün gayret" in Turkish. Equivalent of Best Efforts in German Law system is "die mögliche Bemühung". It is possible to claim that in Turkish law, best efforts is not a new contract clause. Moreover, the Supreme Court has explicitly mentioned this phrase in so many of its decisions.

Özet

Anglosakson hukuk sistemlerinde doğan ve gelişen bir takım kavramların sözleşmelerde kullanılması, alışılmış kavramlar olmamaları sebebiyle uygulamada bazen tereddütlere yol açabilmektedir. Bu kavramlardan biri olan "Best efforts" kavramının "üstün gayret" ya da "azami gayret" olarak tercüme edilmesi mümkündür. Alman hukukunda bu kavramın karşılığı olarak "die mögliche Bemühung" kavramının kullanıldığını görmekteyiz. Üstün gayret ya da azami gayret kavramları, hukukumuzda bilinmeyen bir kavram değildir. Nitekim Yargıtay'ın bir çok kararında bu kavram açıkça kullanılmıştır.
