Article 82Granting Aid

第八十二条(救助の付与)

The court, upon petition, may issue a ruling granting legal aid to a person lacking the financial resources to pay the expenses necessary for preparing for and conducting litigation, or to a person for whom paying those expenses would cause substantial adversity in daily life; provided, however, that this applies only if the person has some chance of winning the case.

訴訟の準備及び追行に必要な費用を支払う資力がない者又はその支払により生活に著しい支障を生ずる者に対しては、裁判所は、申立てにより、訴訟上の救助の決定をすることができる。ただし、勝訴の見込みがないとはいえないときに限る。

Rulings granting legal aid are issued separately for each instance.

訴訟上の救助の決定は、審級ごとにする。
