Article 20Exception for Cases Where Another Place Is Obviously More Closely Connected
第二十条（明らかにより密接な関係がある地がある場合の例外）
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding three Articles, the formation and effect of a claim arising from a tort are governed by the law of the place with which the tort is obviously more closely connected than the place indicated in the preceding three Articles, in light of that the parties had their habitual residence in the places governed by the same law at the time of the occurrence of the tort, that the tort was committed in breach of the obligation under a contract between the parties, or any other circumstances concerned.
前三条の規定にかかわらず、不法行為によって生ずる債権の成立及び効力は、不法行為の当時において当事者が法を同じくする地に常居所を有していたこと、当事者間の契約に基づく義務に違反して不法行為が行われたことその他の事情に照らして、明らかに前三条の規定により適用すべき法の属する地よりも密接な関係がある他の地があるときは、当該他の地の法による。
