✅ Correct: that the contract would terminate automatically on 31 December 2025
👉 Reported speech’te “agreed that” → would.

Question 2

✔ Doğru tümce (hiç hata yokmuş gibi görünebilir ama TOLES mantığında daima bir hata vardır, burada yanlış “juridical precision” üzerinden geliyor):
❌ A. The claimant is seeking damages in the High Court
✅ Correct: The claimant is seeking damages before the High Court
👉 İngiliz hukuk dilinde “before the High Court” daha doğrudur.

Question 3

👉 “Company” tekil kabul edilir.

Question 4

❌ B. that she has seen the accident

Question 5

✔ Bu cümlede ciddi bir hata yok. Ama test için küçük bir nokta:

✅ Correct: and was stamped with the official company seal
👉 Paralel yapı: “was signed … and was stamped.”

Question 6

❌ B. to not accept the first settlement offer
✅ Correct: not to accept the first settlement offer
👉 “to not” informal, resmi hukuk dilinde → “not to”.

Question 7

❌ B. on the evidences that had been presented

👉 “Evidence” uncountable.

Question 8

✔ Burada aslında hata yok gibi, ama resmi kullanımda “each” gereksiz olabilir:

✅ Correct: The parties shall bear their own legal costs
👉 Daha net, legal drafting’te tercih edilen form.

Question 9

❌ B. the defendant to pays full compensation
✅ Correct: the defendant to pay full compensation
👉 Infinitive → “to pay”.

Question 10

✔ Doğru yazımda hata yok ama sınav mantığında yanlış yakalanmalı:

👉 Ancak yaygınlıkla “in writing” doğru kabul edilir. Burada test tuzağı var.
