Özet:

The theory of reference is a topic based on the 19th century, but today the practicers prefer to ignore. The Turkish law is limited to family and persons in disputes relating to the law. Both the return reference and the continuing reference are accepted to be applied only for a single time. Unless it is clearly stated in the election of the law, the legal provisions of the chosen law shall be applied and the reference shall be excluded. In the Turkish law, except the MÖHUK, the TMTK and TTK have also been adopted regulations relating to the ATFA. The current trend in Anglo-Sakson law is towards excluding the atheism. In the EU law, the Romans I and the Romans II regulations have clearly excluded the reference with the provisions they accept. But in the continental European states, it can be said that atf is accepted in a manner similar to Turkey, although limited. In our work we will first stand on the reference concept, examine the advanced opinions on the reference, and in the second part we will discuss the place of the reference in comparative law and Turkish legislation.
