İDARENİN PERSONELİNİN HAKSIZ MUAMELELERİNDEN DOĞAN SORUMLULUĞUNA AMERİKAN FEDERAL YAKLAŞIMI
Birleşik Devletler Meclisi tarafından kabul edilen Federal Haksız Muamele İddiaları Yasası, bireylere, federal idare çalışanlarının Birleşik Devletler adına yürüttükleri görevleri kapsamında işledikleri belirli tiplerdeki haksız veya ihmali davranışlar neticesinde zarar görmeleri durumunda, federal idareyi dava etme hakkı verir. Yasa, bireylere federal idareyi dava etme hakkı verirken, açıkça Birleşik Devletlerin haksız muamelelere ilişkin yargı dokunulmazlığını ortadan kaldırır. Fakat, Meclis, bu yasayı kabul ederken, yasanın getirmiş olduğu bu yargı dokunulmazlığı feragatini bazı yasal istisnalar sağlayarak dengeler. Öyle ki bazı başka yasalar da açık veya zımni olarak Federal Haksız Fiil İddiaları Yasası kapsamında dava açılmasına engel olur. Bu çalışma, Türk yargı sistemi ve hukuki himaye mekanizmasının, Türk idaresinin haksız fiil sorumluluğu kavramına ilişkin alternatif ve yeni bir bakış açısı ve anlayışı kazanmasını sağlaması fikriyle, Federal Haksız Fiil Davaları Yasası’nın değerlendirilmesini içerir.
AMERICAN FEDERAL APPROACH TO TORT LIABILITY OF GOVERNMENT FOR ACTS OF ITS EMPLOYEES
The Federal Tort Claims Act, enacted by the United States Congress,allows people injured by the tortious or negligent acts of federal employeesto bring an action against the federal government for several types of tortsperpetrated by government employees while acting within the scope of theiremployment on behalf of the United States government. By allowing peopleto sue the federal government, the Federal Tort Claims Act clearly waivesthe sovereign immunity of the United States from legal actions regardingtort. However, while enacting this Act, Congress balanced this purpose withthe congressional interest in limiting that waiver by providing severalstatutory exceptions. Furthermore, several other statutes also preclude orhave been interpreted to preclude suits under the Federal Tort Claims Act.This study contains a review of the Federal Tort Claims Act for theTurkey’s judicial system and remedy mechanism to get an alternative andnew perspective on the interpretation and understanding of the concept oftort liability of Turkish government.
