Constitutional Court Annuls Provisions Limiting the Liability of Intermediary Service Providers in E-Commerce Consumer Contracts
The Constitutional Court annulled provisions of the Law on the Protection of Consumers and the Law on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce that limited the liability of electronic commerce marketplace operators in consumer contracts. The Court held that a blanket exclusion of intermediary service providers’ liability may create a protection gap for consumers, particularly where platforms assume an active role or where sellers are unreachable or fail to fulfil their obligations. The annulment will enter into force nine months after publication in the Official Gazette dated 2 June 2026.
