The majority of the fundamental principles of jud-ging are applied in terms of the compulsory enforcement law, to the extent that they are relevant in nature. Within this context, the principle with the utmost effect in terms of the compulsory execu-tion law is the principle of parties’ control. As required by the prin-ciple of parties’ control, the creditor holds the authority to demand sale. Before the creditor exercises the authority to demand sale, the debtor has right to exercise this authority, as well. However, it is stipulated that in some cases, the execution office may perform sale on its own initiative and ahead of time. In cases that the execution office may perform sale on its own initiative, exercising such autho-rity sets an exception, within the scope of the principle of parties’ control that is in effect in execution proceeding. In order to exercise such authority, certain conditions must be met as well. In this study, the conditions required for the execution office to perform sale on its own initiative and controversial issues that may arise due to the practice are addressed.
