Article 7Observers

第七条(立会人)

If, when entering a person's residence and performing their duties, a court enforcement officer or a person who performs duties related to civil enforcement at the order of an enforcement court (referred to as a "court enforcement officer or civil enforcement official" below) does not encounter the occupant or their agent, a cohabiting relative, or an employee or other worker or discerning person, then this person must have a municipal official, police officer, or other person deemed suitable as a witness. The same applies if a court enforcement officer uses force or receives police assistance pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article.

執行官又は執行裁判所の命令により民事執行に関する職務を行う者(以下「執行官等」という。)は、人の住居に立ち入つて職務を執行するに際し、住居主、その代理人又は同居の親族若しくは使用人その他の従業者で相当のわきまえのあるものに出会わないときは、市町村の職員、警察官その他証人として相当と認められる者を立ち会わせなければならない。執行官が前条第一項の規定により威力を用い、又は警察上の援助を受けるときも、同様とする。
