第百五十八条(訴状等の陳述の擬制)

If a plaintiff or defendant does not appear on the first date for oral arguments or appears on that date but does not present any oral arguments on the merits, the court may deem the plaintiff or defendant to have stated the particulars detailed in the complaint or written answer or any other brief that party has submitted, and have the adverse party who has appeared on that date present oral arguments.

原告又は被告が最初にすべき口頭弁論の期日に出頭せず、又は出頭したが本案の弁論をしないときは、裁判所は、その者が提出した訴状又は答弁書その他の準備書面に記載した事項を陳述したものとみなし、出頭した相手方に弁論をさせることができる。
