Court of Cassation ruling on WhatsApp: Messages requesting a loan can be considered evidence in enforcement proceedings

Turkey’s Supreme Court 3rd Civil Chamber ruled that WhatsApp messages requesting repayment of a loan can serve as evidence in enforcement proceedings that the debtor was notified, in a dispute from Bursa. The court highlighted a six-week notice period for debts with no fixed repayment date. The decision matters because it gives creditors a clearer path to use digital correspondence in collections cases. What to watch next is how lower courts and enforcement offices apply the ruling to other messaging evidence.
