Article 97Timing of Entry into Effect of Manifestations of Intention

第九十七条(意思表示の効力発生時期等)

A manifestation of intention becomes effective at the time notice of the manifestation reaches the other party.

意思表示は、その通知が相手方に到達した時からその効力を生ずる。

If the other party prevents notice of a manifestation of intention from reaching them without a legitimate reason, the notice is deemed to have reached that party at the time it would have normally reached them.

相手方が正当な理由なく意思表示の通知が到達することを妨げたときは、その通知は、通常到達すべきであった時に到達したものとみなす。

The effect of a manifestation of intention is not impaired even if the person making it dies, loses mental capacity, or becomes subject to restrictions on their legal capacity to act after having sent the notice.

意思表示は、表意者が通知を発した後に死亡し、意思能力を喪失し、又は行為能力の制限を受けたときであっても、そのためにその効力を妨げられない。
