Turkey has broadened the powers of Chief Judges in Regional
Courts of Justice in the wake of the 90 day of State of Emergency
declared on 21 July 2016. Accordingly, from 1 September 2016, if
legal or factual reasons mean that a chamber cannot convene using
its own members, the Chief Judge is now empowered to assign judges
from other chambers, according to relevance, rank and severity.

No 674 Making Certain Arrangements within the scope of the State of
Emergency (2nd Duplicate Official Gazette, published on 1
September 2016; only available in Turkish). The Decree amends Law
No. 5235 on Establishment, Duties and Authorities of Courts of
First Instance and Regional Courts of Justice.
