Article 581Members' Defenses

第五百八十一条(社員の抗弁)

If members are liable for the performance of the obligations of a membership company, the members may assert defenses against the creditors of relevant membership company that the membership company may raise against creditors.

社員が持分会社の債務を弁済する責任を負う場合には、社員は、持分会社が主張することができる抗弁をもって当該持分会社の債権者に対抗することができる。

In the cases provided for in the preceding paragraph, if a membership company has a right to set-off, right to rescind or right to terminate against its creditors, the members may refuse the performance of obligations to relevant creditors, up to the amount of the membership company's obligations that are to be released as a result of the exercise of those rights.

前項に規定する場合において、持分会社がその債権者に対して相殺権、取消権又は解除権を有するときは、これらの権利の行使によって持分会社がその債務を免れるべき限度において、社員は、当該債権者に対して債務の履行を拒むことができる。
