Akit-Dışı Borçlara Uygulanacak Hukuka İlişkin Tüzükte (Roma II) Ürün Sorumluluğu

Bu makalede Avrupa Birliğinin Akit Dışı Borçlara Uygulanacak Hukuka İlişkin Tüzüğünün ürün sorumluluğuna dair bağlama kuralı ele alınmaktadır. Roma II Tüzüğünün 5/1 maddesi üç kademeli bağlama kuralıdır: zarar görenin mutad meskeni, ürünün iktisap edildiği yer ve zararın medyama geldiği yer. Her üç kademe de ürünün bu devlette pazara sürülmüş olması şartıyla birlikte bulunmalıdır. Roma II Tüzüğünün 5/2 hükmünde bir istisna kuralı da kabul edilmiştir. Öte yandan bu madde ortak ikametgah hukukunun uygulanmasını öngören 4/2. maddede yer alan genel kuralın uygulanmasına engel olmamaktadır. Türk Milletlerarası Özel Hukuk ve Usul Hukuku Hakkında Kanun (5718) 36. maddesinde ürün sorumluluğuna ilişkin özel bir bağlama kuralı ihtiva etmektedir. Bu hükme göre davacı davalının mutad meskeni hukuku, davalının işyeri merkezi hukuku ile ürünün iktisap edildiği yer hukukundan birini seçebilir. Bu çalışma Roma II Tüzüğü ile Türk hukukunda yer alan hükümlerini eleştirel bir yaklaşımla incelemeyi hedeflemektedir
