Article 767Depositing Goods If Delivery Is Demanded by Two or More Persons Holding Copies of Bills of Lading
第七百六十七条（二人以上の船荷証券の所持人から請求を受けた場合の供託）
If two or more persons holding copies of bills of lading demand the delivery of goods, the carrier may deposit the goods with an official depository. The same applies to the part of the goods that remains if the carrier delivers part of the goods pursuant to the provisions of Article 765, paragraph (1) to one of the holders and then another holder demands delivery of the goods.
二人以上の船荷証券の所持人が運送品の引渡しを請求したときは、運送人は、その運送品を供託することができる。運送人が第七百六十五条第一項の規定により運送品の一部を引き渡した後に他の所持人が運送品の引渡しを請求したときにおけるその運送品の残部についても、同様とする。
Once a carrier deposits goods with an official depository pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the carrier must issue notice of this to each holder who has demanded the delivery of the goods without delay.
In the case prescribed in paragraph (1), the holder of the copy of the bill of lading that was sent or delivered first takes precedence over any other holder.
第一項に規定する場合においては、最も先に発送され、又は引き渡された船荷証券の所持人が他の所持人に優先する。
