Article 460Right of Guarantor Guaranteeing by Request to Reimbursement in Advance

第四百六十条(委託を受けた保証人の事前の求償権)

If a guarantor has given a guarantee as requested by the principal obligor, the guarantor may exercise in advance the right to reimbursement against the principal obligor if:

保証人は、主たる債務者の委託を受けて保証をした場合において、次に掲げるときは、主たる債務者に対して、あらかじめ、求償権を行使することができる。

the principal obligor is subject to an order commencing bankruptcy proceeding, and the obligee does not participate in the distribution of the bankruptcy estate;

主たる債務者が破産手続開始の決定を受け、かつ、債権者がその破産財団の配当に加入しないとき。

the obligation is due; provided, however, that no extension of time granted by the obligee to the principal obligor after the conclusion of the guarantee contract may be duly asserted against the guarantor; and

債務が弁済期にあるとき。ただし、保証契約の後に債権者が主たる債務者に許与した期限は、保証人に対抗することができない。

the guarantor is, without negligence, rendered a judicial decision ordering the guarantor to perform the obligation to the obligee.

保証人が過失なく債権者に弁済をすべき旨の裁判の言渡しを受けたとき。
