Article 5Mediation Organizations

第五条(調停機関)

The court carries out mediation through a mediation committee; provided, however, that if the court finds it appropriate, mediation may be carried out only by a judge.

裁判所は、調停委員会で調停を行う。ただし、裁判所が相当であると認めるときは、裁判官だけでこれを行うことができる。

Upon the petition of a relevant party, the court must carry out the mediation through a mediation committee, notwithstanding the provisions of the proviso to the preceding paragraph.

裁判所は、当事者の申立てがあるときは、前項ただし書の規定にかかわらず、調停委員会で調停を行わなければならない。
