Article 17Order in Lieu of Mediation

第十七条(調停に代わる決定)

If mediation carried out by a mediation committee is unlikely to be successful, and the court finds it appropriate, it may issue an order as necessary to resolve the case after hearing the opinions of the civil mediation commissioners in the mediation committee by its own authority and to an extent that does not contradict the objectives of the parties' petitions, giving consideration to equitable treatment of the interests of both parties, and taking into account all relevant circumstances. Through this order, the court may order the payment of money, delivery of an item, or any other provision of economic benefit.

裁判所は、調停委員会の調停が成立する見込みがない場合において相当であると認めるときは、当該調停委員会を組織する民事調停委員の意見を聴き、当事者双方のために衡平に考慮し、一切の事情を見て、職権で、当事者双方の申立ての趣旨に反しない限度で、事件の解決のために必要な決定をすることができる。この決定においては、金銭の支払、物の引渡しその他の財産上の給付を命ずることができる。
