Appellate procedure against a first instance court decision is one of the essential elements of fair trial. Thus the right to recourse to the competent appellate court may only be restricted by an act of the parliament. The automatic annual increase of the monetary limits for appeal should not be determined with an administrative action. Because of such annual increase’s being based on “the revaluation rate” declared by the Ministry of Finance, there is the risk that a court decision which can be appealed at the outset, becomes inappealable afterwards. Besides, determining different monetary limits for appeal with respect to different court decisions is incompatible with the principle of equality. Not only the rules in Turkish Code of Civil Procedure but also the recent decisions of regional appeal courts show that the function of regional appeal courts is similar to that of the cassation court. Finally, a vast number of various court decisions are inappealable, which is incompatible with the aim of providing a nation-wide uniform application of law.
