Haksız Rekabet Hükümleri Işığında Ticari Sırların Açıklanması ve Gizlilik İhlalleri
Ticari sırların yetkisiz ifşası, yalnızca sözleşmeye aykırılık değil, aynı zamanda TTK kapsamında haksız rekabet fiili sayılmaktadır. Yargıtay, ekonomik değer taşıyan ve gizliliği korunan bilgileri ticari sır olarak tanımlar. TTK ve HMK hükümleri doğrultusunda haksız rekabetin önlenmesi için men, ref, tespit ve tazminat davaları ile ihtiyati tedbirler mümkündür. Ayrıca TCK m. 239 uyarınca cezai yaptırım öngörülmüştür. Çalışanların gizlilik ve sadakat borcuna aykırı eylemleri hem iş hem ticaret hukuku yönünden değerlendirilmekte; rekabet yasağının geçerli olabilmesi için yer, süre ve konu bakımından sınırlı olması gerekmektedir. Ticari sır ihlali hem bireysel hem de piyasa düzenini bozan çok yönlü bir haksız rekabet türüdür.

Applicability of Clawback Provisions in Turkish Labour Law
Clawback provisions are contractual mechanisms that enable employers to reclaim incentive-based payments under specific conditions such as underperformance, misconduct, or premature resignation. While widely recognized and enforceable in jurisdictions like the U.S. and various EU countries, Turkish Labour Law does not explicitly regulate clawback clauses. Their applicability remains controversial, particularly regarding basic wages, which cannot be reclaimed once earned through labor. However, limited application is possible through bonus arrangements and analogies with penal clauses under the Turkish Code of Obligations, provided they comply with mutuality, fairness, and proportionality as interpreted by the Court of Cassation.
