Article 533Defense of Simultaneous Performance

第五百三十三条(同時履行の抗弁)

A party to a bilateral contract may refuse to perform that party's own obligation until the other party tenders the performance of that other party's obligation (including the performance of an obligation to compensate for damage in lieu of the performance of an obligation); provided, however, that this does not apply if the obligation of the other party is not yet due.

双務契約の当事者の一方は、相手方がその債務の履行(債務の履行に代わる損害賠償の債務の履行を含む。)を提供するまでは、自己の債務の履行を拒むことができる。ただし、相手方の債務が弁済期にないときは、この限りでない。
