The family court may decide to commence an assistance in respect of a person whose capacity to appreciate their own situation is inadequate due to a mental disorder or disability, at the request of the person in question, that person's spouse, that person's relative within the fourth degree of kinship, the guardian, the guardian's supervisor, the curator, the curator's supervisor, or a public prosecutor; provided, however, that this does not apply to a person with respect to whom there are grounds as prescribed in Article 7 or the main clause of Article 11.
The issuance of a decision for commencement of assistance at the request of a person other than the person in question requires the consent of the person in question.
本人以外の者の請求により補助開始の審判をするには、本人の同意がなければならない。
A decision for commencement of assistance must be made concurrent with a decision referred to in Article 17, paragraph (1) or a decision referred to in Article 876-9, paragraph (1).
補助開始の審判は、第十七条第一項の審判又は第八百七十六条の九第一項の審判とともにしなければならない。
