Article 452Defense of No Demand by Obligee

第四百五十二条(催告の抗弁)

If an obligee has requested performance of an obligation from the guarantor, the guarantor may request the obligee to demand performance of the principal obligor first; provided, however, that this does not apply if the principal obligor is subject to an order commencing bankruptcy proceeding or if the principal obligor's whereabouts are unknown.

債権者が保証人に債務の履行を請求したときは、保証人は、まず主たる債務者に催告をすべき旨を請求することができる。ただし、主たる債務者が破産手続開始の決定を受けたとき、又はその行方が知れないときは、この限りでない。
