Article 506Method and Effect of Set-Offs

第五百六条(相殺の方法及び効力)

Set-offs are effected through the manifestation of one party's intention to the other. In such a case, no condition or time limit may be added to the manifestation of intention.

相殺は、当事者の一方から相手方に対する意思表示によってする。この場合において、その意思表示には、条件又は期限を付することができない。

A manifestation of intention referred to in the preceding paragraph is effective retroactive to the time when the obligations of both parties became eligible to be set-off.

前項の意思表示は、双方の債務が互いに相殺に適するようになった時にさかのぼってその効力を生ずる。
