Article 20Right of Retention of Commercial Agent

第二十条(代理商の留置権)

If any claim arising from acting as an agent or intermediary in any transaction is due, the commercial agent can retain any property or negotiable instruments of value which it possesses on behalf of the company until the satisfaction of the claim;provided, however, that this does not apply to the cases where the parties otherwise manifest their intention.

代理商は、取引の代理又は媒介をしたことによって生じた債権の弁済期が到来しているときは、その弁済を受けるまでは、会社のために当該代理商が占有する物又は有価証券を留置することができる。ただし、当事者が別段の意思表示をしたときは、この限りでない。
