Section 4 Exchange

The law as Act Partially Amending the Civil Code, etc. (Act No. 45 of 2026) leaves it, with the words it changes marked.

The main text is read a page at a time: a chapter to a page, and a long chapter in runs of articles. The whole main text, and the supplementary provisions and appended tables this amendment changes. Those it leaves untouched are on the page for the text in force.

Section 4 Exchange第四節 交換

Article 586第五百八十六条

Article 586, paragraph (1)

An exchange becomes effective by the mutual promises by the parties to transfer any property right other than the ownership of money.

交換は、当事者が互いに金銭の所有権以外の財産権を移転することを約することによって、その効力を生ずる。

Article 586, paragraph (2)

If one of the parties to an exchange promises to transfer the ownership of money together with other rights, the provisions for sale contracts apply mutatis mutandis to that money.

当事者の一方が他の権利とともに金銭の所有権を移転することを約した場合におけるその金銭については、売買の代金に関する規定を準用する。
