Özet:

 The Code of Civil Procedure regulates that the party who relies on witness evidence and wishes to have witnesses heard must submit a list of witnesses to the court. If the list is not provided, it will not be possible to hear witnesses to prove the facts. In addition, the Code of Civil Procedure clearly regulates that a person who is not included in the witness list cannot be heard as a witness and a second witness list cannot be submitted. However, another provision has been introduced to mitigate the consequences of failing to submit a witness list, allowing for the hearing of witnesses who are present even when the list has not been submitted. In this study, it is examined whether this second provision, which mitigates the sanction for not submitting a witness list, can be applied in situations where the list is submitted but a witness who is not included in the list is to be heard. In this context, firstly, the subject of the study and the provisions regarding the hearing of witnesses are presented in more detail. Subsequently, it is considered whether the second provision, which is strictly applicable in cases where a list is not provided, can also be used to hear a person who is not on the list as a witness.

 Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanununda tanık dinletmek isteyen tarafın, tanıkları bir listeyle mahkemeye bildirmesi gerektiği düzenlenmiştir. Listenin hiç verilmemesi halinde, vakıanın ispatı için tanık dinletilmesi mümkün olmayacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra, tanık listesinde yer almayan bir kimsenin tanık olarak dinlenilemeyeceği ve ikinci tanık listesinin verilemeyeceği de Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanununda açıkça düzenlenmiştir. Ne var ki tanık listesinin hiç verilmemesi ihtimalinde ortaya çıkan sonucu yumuşatıcı nitelikte farklı bir düzenleme daha sevk edilmiş ve listenin verilmediği hallerde, hazır bulundurulan tanıkların da dinlenilebileceği kabul edilmiştir. Çalışmada, tanık listesi verilmemesinin yaptırımını yumuşatıcı niteliği haiz bu ikinci düzenlemenin, listenin verildiği durumlarda listede yer almayan bir tanığın dinlenilmesi için de kullanılıp kullanılamayacağı sorusu incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda ilk olarak çalışma konusu ve tanıkların dinlenilmesine ilişkin düzenlemeler, daha ayrıntılı şekilde, takdim edilmiştir. Sonrasında ise listenin verilmediği hallerde tereddütsüz olarak uygulama alanı bulan ikinci düzenlemenin, listede yer almayan bir kimsenin de tanık olarak dinlenilebilmesi için kullanılıp kullanılmayacağına yönelik değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.
