Article 548Extinguishment of Right to Cancel by Damage Caused to Object Intentionally by Holder of Right to Cancel

第五百四十八条(解除権者の故意による目的物の損傷等による解除権の消滅)

The right to cancel is extinguished if the holder of the right to cancel, intentionally or negligently, causes significant damage to, or makes it impossible to return the object of the contract, or converts the object into another kind of thing by processing or alteration; provided, however, that this does not apply if the holder of the right to cancel does not know of the holder's right to cancel.

解除権を有する者が故意若しくは過失によって契約の目的物を著しく損傷し、若しくは返還することができなくなったとき、又は加工若しくは改造によってこれを他の種類の物に変えたときは、解除権は、消滅する。ただし、解除権を有する者がその解除権を有することを知らなかったときは、この限りでない。
