Article 527Storage and Depositing of Object of Sale by Buyer

第五百二十七条(買主による目的物の保管及び供託)

In a case prescribed in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, the buyer must store or deposit the object of the sales transaction at the expense of the seller, even if the buyer cancels the contract; provided, however, that if the object is likely to be lost or damaged, the buyer must put it up for auction with the permission of the court and store or deposit the proceeds from the auction.

前条第一項に規定する場合においては、買主は、契約の解除をしたときであっても、売主の費用をもって売買の目的物を保管し、又は供託しなければならない。ただし、その物について滅失又は損傷のおそれがあるときは、裁判所の許可を得てその物を競売に付し、かつ、その代価を保管し、又は供託しなければならない。

A case in which a person seeks the permission referred to in the proviso to the preceding paragraph is subject to the jurisdiction of the district court having jurisdiction over the locality of the object of the sales transaction referred to in that paragraph.

前項ただし書の許可に係る事件は、同項の売買の目的物の所在地を管轄する地方裁判所が管轄する。

Once the buyer puts the object of a sales transaction up for auction pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), it must issue notice of this to the seller without delay.

第一項の規定により買主が売買の目的物を競売に付したときは、遅滞なく、売主に対してその旨の通知を発しなければならない。

The provisions of the preceding three paragraphs do not apply if the seller's and buyer's places of business (or their domiciles, if they do not have places of business) are located within the limits of the same municipality.

前三項の規定は、売主及び買主の営業所(営業所がない場合にあっては、その住所)が同一の市町村の区域内にある場合には、適用しない。
