A person other than one subject to an anonymity ruling, a ruling under Article 133-2, paragraph (2), or a ruling under paragraph (1) of the preceding Article (referred to as "anonymity ruling or similar measures" in the following paragraph and paragraph (7)) may file a petition with the court where the case records or filing records are kept seeking to set aside that ruling, on the grounds that any prescribed requirement has not been met or is no longer being met.
With permission from the court where the case records or filing records are kept, even if an anonymity ruling or similar measures are in place, a party other than the person covered by the ruling or measures may request access to a part of the case records or filing records that is restricted pursuant to the provisions of Article 133-2, paragraph (1) or (2) or Article 133-3, paragraph (1) if it is likely to substantially interfere with the party's own allegations or defense.
If a petition for permission under the provisions of the preceding paragraph is filed and a prima facie showing is made of the fact on which the petition is based, the court shamust permit the request.
裁判所は、前項の規定による許可の申立てがあった場合において、その原因となる事実につき疎明があったときは、これを許可しなければならない。
Before the court reaches a judicial decision to set aside an anonymity ruling or similar measures as referred to in paragraph (1) or to grant the permission referred to in paragraph (2), it must hear opinions of the persons specified in the following items, in accordance with the categories stated in those items:
a judicial decision on an anonymity ruling or a ruling under Article 133-2, paragraph (2):the person seeking anonymity covered by the ruling;
秘匿決定又は第百三十三条の二第二項の決定に係る裁判をするとき 当該決定に係る秘匿対象者
a judicial decision on a ruling under the preceding Article:the party or legal representative covered by the ruling.
前条の決定に係る裁判をするとき 当該決定に係る当事者又は法定代理人
An immediate appeal may be filed against a judicial decision concerning the petition to set aside an anonymity ruling or similar measures as referred to in paragraph (1) or a judicial decision concerning the petition for permission referred to in paragraph (2).
A judicial decision setting aside an anonymity ruling or similar measures as referred to in paragraph (1) or granting the permission referred to in paragraph (2) does not take effect until it becomes final and binding.
If a judicial decision granting the permission referred to in paragraph (2) is reached, the party petitioning for permission or their legal representative, litigation representative, or assistant in court must not, without a legitimate reason, use information obtained based on that permission for any other purpose than conducting the proceedings or disclose that information to a person other than the person covered by the anonymity ruling or similar measures.
