Article 696Effect of Settlements

第六百九十六条(和解の効力)

If it has been acknowledged in a settlement that one of the parties has the rights that are the subject of the dispute or that the other party did not have those rights, and conclusive evidence is then obtained indicating that the first party did not have those rights in the past or that the other party did have those rights, the rights are regarded as either having been transferred to the first party or extinguished in the settlement.

当事者の一方が和解によって争いの目的である権利を有するものと認められ、又は相手方がこれを有しないものと認められた場合において、その当事者の一方が従来その権利を有していなかった旨の確証又は相手方がこれを有していた旨の確証が得られたときは、その権利は、和解によってその当事者の一方に移転し、又は消滅したものとする。
