In force today
An arbitral award (irrespective of whether or not the place of arbitration is in Japan; hereinafter the same applies in this Chapter) has the same effect as a final and binding judgment; provided, however, that a civil enforcement based on the arbitral award requires an enforceability order under the following Article.
仲裁判断（仲裁地が日本国内にあるかどうかを問わない。以下この章において同じ。）は、確定判決と同一の効力を有する。ただし、当該仲裁判断に基づく民事執行をするには、次条の規定による執行決定がなければならない。
