In the cases stated in the following items, a right of avoidance may also be exercised against subsequent acquirers specified in the respective item if there are grounds for avoidance against the other party to the act to be avoided; provided, however, that if the relevant subsequent acquirer acquired the subject matter from another subsequent acquirer, this is limited to cases in which there were grounds for avoidance against all subsequent acquirers that acquired the subject matter before the relevant subsequent acquirer acquired the subject matter:
次の各号に掲げる場合において、否認しようとする行為の相手方に対して否認の原因があるときは、否認権は、当該各号に規定する転得者に対しても、行使することができる。ただし、当該転得者が他の転得者から転得した者である場合においては、当該転得者の前に転得した全ての転得者に対しても否認の原因があるときに限る。
when a subsequent acquirer had known that the act of the bankrupt would prejudice the bankruptcy creditors at the time of acquisition;
when a subsequent acquirer is any of the persons stated in the items of Article 161, paragraph (2); provided, however, that this does not apply if the subsequent acquirers did not know that the act of the bankrupt would prejudice the bankruptcy creditors at the time of acquisition; and
when a subsequent acquirer acquired the subject matter by a gratuitous act or by an onerous act that should be deemed to be equivalent to that act.
転得者が無償行為又はこれと同視すべき有償行為によって転得した者であるとき。
The provisions of Article 167, paragraph (2) apply mutatis mutandis when a right of avoidance is exercised pursuant to the provisions of item (iii) of the preceding paragraph.
