Legal Glossary

Impossibility of performance (ifa imkânsızlığı) is the inability to perform the performance that is the subject of the obligation. The consequences of objective impossibility existing at the outset differ from those of impossibility that arises after the contract is concluded. If the impossibility cannot be attributed to the debtor, the obligation may come to an end; if the debtor is at fault, liability for compensation may arise. In partial impossibility, the consequence may arise only with respect to the affected part.

An interim injunction is temporary legal protection granted against the danger that, because of a change that may occur in the existing situation, obtaining the right will become significantly more difficult or impossible, or that serious harm will arise. It is not a final judgment; the conditions of prima facie proof, proportionality and security are assessed in the specific case.
