A joint venture contract can be defined as a contract that aims to establish a partnership subject to the joint control of the parties to this contract and regulates the legal relations between the prospective partners and the partnership to be established.
A joint venture is a joint venture where individuals or organizations with or without legal entities that are economically and legally independent of each other, jointly undertake to realize a single business or a continuous activity with or without establishing a commercial partnership, in order to make a profit, and that the work is done severally. It is a contract that they are responsible for. A joint venture can also be established as a traditional joint venture or a joint venture with capital participation. A traditional joint venture is established by concluding a joint venture contract. Therefore, it is quite easy to determine its legal nature. The situation is not so simple in a joint venture with capital participation. Because in this type of joint venture, partnership is established, therefore, such joint ventures consist of more than one contract. This situation makes it difficult to determine the legal qualities of these contracts. Determining the legal nature of the joint venture is also important in terms of determining and ending the rights and debts of the parties to this relationship. In the study, all these issues have been tried to be examined in depth in the light of the Supreme Court decisions.
