Article 251Date for Rendition of Judgment

第二百五十一条(言渡期日)

The court must render a judgment within two months of the date on which oral arguments conclude; provided, however, that this does not apply if the case is complex or there are any other special circumstances.

判決の言渡しは、口頭弁論の終結の日から二月以内にしなければならない。ただし、事件が複雑であるときその他特別の事情があるときは、この限りでない。

The court may render a judgment even if the parties are not present in court.

判決の言渡しは、当事者が在廷しない場合においても、することができる。
