When the court finds it necessary to have an administrative authority other than the one that has made an original administrative disposition or administrative determination intervene in an action, the court may, upon the petition of a party or that other administrative authority or by the court's own authority, by an order, have the administrative authority intervene in the action.
The court, when making an order set forth in the preceding paragraph, must hear opinions in advance from the parties and the administrative authority.
裁判所は、前項の決定をするには、あらかじめ、当事者及び当該行政庁の意見をきかなければならない。
The provisions of Article 45, paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of the Code of Civil Procedure apply mutatis mutandis to an administrative authority which has intervened in an action pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1).
第一項の規定により訴訟に参加した行政庁については、民事訴訟法第四十五条第一項及び第二項の規定を準用する。
