Shipbuilding and ship transport developments in Turkish maritime sector cause the expansion of the subcontracting relationship in the ships. In this study it is examined a decision of Court of Appeal about labour receivables of seafarers who are subcontractor’s employees. On this subject there isn’t a special regulation in Maritime Labour Code. In the Turkish Code of Obligations which is general legislation, the topic of collusion has a different meaning from labour law. Court of Appeal solved the problem by applying the provision about collusion subcontracting in the Labour Code to the event. In the study it is discussed that whether there is a general- specific legislation relationship between Maritime Labour Code and Labour Code. It is thought that the justification which is relied on the examined Court of Appeal’s decision, is a result of an incorrect legal assessment. In the study, the judicial methods that should be used to reach a solution is evaluated.
