Supplementary Provisions, Article 3Interim Provisions
第三条（経過規定）
With regard to liability to compensate for damage in the case where a person who puts a small-sized special purpose vehicle manufactured for use in farm work (hereinafter referred to as a "small-sized special purpose vehicle for farm work") into operation for that person's own benefit conducted the operation of that small-sized special purpose vehicle for farm work before this Act comes into effect and thereby harmed the life or body of another person, the provisions then in force continue to govern.
農耕作業の用に供することを目的として製作した小型特殊自動車（以下「農耕作業用小型特殊自動車」という。）を自己のために運行の用に供する者がこの法律の施行前に当該農耕作業用小型特殊自動車を運行し、これによつて他人の生命又は身体を害した場合における損害賠償の責任に関しては、なお従前の例による。
A contract for automobile liability insurance concerning a small-sized special purpose vehicle for farm work (hereinafter referred to as a "liability insurance contract") that has actually been concluded at the time this Act comes into effect continues to exist, for the remaining coverage period of that liability insurance contract, as an insurance contract concluded between the parties to that liability insurance contract for the purpose of indemnifying the loss that a person in possession (meaning a person in possession as prescribed in Article 2, paragraph (3) of the Act on Securing Compensation for Automobile Accidents prior to the amendment (hereinafter referred to as the "Former Act")) or a driver (meaning a driver as prescribed in Article 2, paragraph (4) of the Former Act) may incur by becoming liable to compensate for damage inflicted on the life or body of another person through the operation of that small-sized special purpose vehicle for farm work; provided, however, that, as to the amount of insurance coverage, if a provision is made pursuant to Article 13, paragraph (2) of the New Act, the amount is the same as the amount of insurance coverage after that change.
農耕作業用小型特殊自動車に係る自動車損害賠償責任保険の契約（以下「責任保険契約」という。）であつてこの法律の施行の際現に締結されているものは、当該責任保険契約の保険期間の残存期間中、保有者（改正前の自動車損害賠償保障法（以下「旧法」という。）第二条第三項に規定する保有者をいう。）又は運転者（旧法第二条第四項に規定する運転者をいう。）が当該農耕作業用小型特殊自動車の運行によつて他人の生命又は身体に加えた損害の賠償責任を負うことにより受けることあるべき損害をてん補することを目的として、当該責任保険契約の当事者間において締結された保険契約として存続するものとする。ただし、保険金額については、新法第十三条第二項の規定による定めがなされた場合においては、当該変更後の保険金額と同じ額とする。
Except for what is prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the provisions of the New Act concerning liability insurance (excluding Article 20-2, paragraph (2)) and other laws and regulations apply mutatis mutandis to the insurance relationship concerning the insurance contract referred to in that paragraph.
For the purpose of applying the provisions of the New Act concerning automobile liability reinsurance, the insurance contract referred to in paragraph (2) is deemed to be a liability insurance contract.
