Abstract:

Mecelle is a law made by a commission made by Ahmet Cevdet Pasha between 1868 and 1876. It was applied in the Mecelle, the Ottoman State and some Arab countries, which is derived from Article 1851 and includes the general provisions of debt, goods, trial and procedural law. The Mecelle, which was accepted as the first codification of the law in the history of Islamic law, contained quite general provisions both in the field of amme law and private law. In classical literature, the legal provisions discussed in a distinctive manner by the subject method have been materialized under various main and subtitles that point to the legal system in Mecelle. The Mecelle, which does not include a sharp special law-public law distinction, is also not included in the branches of civil law for debts that clearly defined their boundaries. The matter law, which is a branch of civil law in the modern legal system, has been partially addressed in Mecelle. In this study, the provisions relating to the matter law in Mecelle will be subject to assessment.
