Article 351Measures When Vacancy Arises in Office of Representative Director
第三百五十一条（代表取締役に欠員を生じた場合の措置）
Where there are no representative directors in office, or where there is a vacancy which results in a shortfall in the number of representative directors prescribed in the articles of incorporation, a representative director who retired from office due to expiration of the representative director's term of office or resignation continues to have the rights and obligations of a representative director until a newly appointed representative director (including the person who is to temporarily perform the duties of a representative director under the following paragraph) assumes office.
In the case provided for in the preceding paragraph, if the court finds it necessary, it may, in response to the petition by the interested persons, appoint a person who is to temporarily perform the duties of a representative director.
前項に規定する場合において、裁判所は、必要があると認めるときは、利害関係人の申立てにより、一時代表取締役の職務を行うべき者を選任することができる。
If the court has appointed the person who is to temporarily perform the duties of a representative director under the preceding paragraph, the court may prescribe the amount of the remuneration that the stock company pays to that person.
裁判所は、前項の一時代表取締役の職務を行うべき者を選任した場合には、株式会社がその者に対して支払う報酬の額を定めることができる。
