Article 12-2Restrictions on Demand for Injunction

第十二条の二(差止請求の制限)

It is not permissible to file a demand based on the preceding Article, , Articles 58-18 through 58-24 of the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions (Act No. 57 of 1976), or (hereinafter referred to as a "demand for injunction") in the following cases:

前条、、特定商取引に関する法律(昭和五十一年法律第五十七号)第五十八条の十八から第五十八条の二十四まで又はの規定による請求(以下「差止請求」という。)は、次に掲げる場合には、することができない。

when the filing is done with the intention of obtaining an unjustifiable profit for the qualified consumer organization or a third party, or to cause damage to the other party of the demand;

当該適格消費者団体若しくは第三者の不正な利益を図り又は当該差止請求に係る相手方に損害を加えることを目的とする場合

when the details of the demand and the other party are the same as those for which a final judgment or equally binding disposition (meaning a final and binding judgment or anything with the same effect; this excludes what is set forth in (a) through (c) below; the same applies hereinafter) already exists from previous legal proceedings (meaning litigation, proceedings regarding petitions for settlement, conciliation, and arbitration; the same applies hereinafter) to which another qualified consumer organization was party and in which a demand for injunction was filed; provided, however, that this does not apply if that other qualified consumer organization has had its certification as referred to in Article 13, paragraph (1) rescinded in relation to the legal proceedings leading to the final and binding judgment on the grounds set forth in Article 34, paragraph (1), item (iv), nor does it apply if, pursuant to paragraph (3) of that Article, there was a finding that grounds as set forth in that item as regards that other organization exist, in relation to those proceedings:

他の適格消費者団体を当事者とする差止請求に係る訴訟等(訴訟並びに和解の申立てに係る手続、調停及び仲裁をいう。以下同じ。)につき既に確定判決等(確定判決及びこれと同一の効力を有するものをいい、次のイからハまでに掲げるものを除く。以下同じ。)が存する場合において、請求の内容及び相手方が同一である場合。ただし、当該他の適格消費者団体について、当該確定判決等に係る訴訟等の手続に関し、第十三条第一項の認定が第三十四条第一項第四号に掲げる事由により取り消され、又は同条第三項の規定により同号に掲げる事由があった旨の認定がされたときは、この限りでない。

a final and binding judgment dismissing the action without prejudice;

訴えを却下した確定判決

a final and binding judgment or an arbitration award dismissing the demand for injunction only on the grounds provided for in the preceding item;

前号に掲げる場合に該当することのみを理由として差止請求を棄却した確定判決及び仲裁判断

a final and binding judgment or any other judgment with an equivalent effect that dismisses a demand for a declaratory judgment confirming that there is no right to file a demand for injunction (hereinafter referred to as a "right to demand an injunction") or that no obligation exists in connection with a person's right to demand an injunction (referred to as a "demand for a judgment declaring the non-existence of a right to demand an injunction or a related obligation" in Article 24).

差止請求をする権利(以下「差止請求権」という。)の不存在又は差止請求権に係る債務の不存在の確認の請求(第二十四条において「差止請求権不存在等確認請求」という。)を棄却した確定判決及びこれと同一の効力を有するもの

The main clause of item (ii) of the preceding paragraph does not preclude a person from filing a demand for an injunction in the case as set forth in the main clause of that item based on grounds arising after the conclusion of oral arguments in the litigation subject to the final and binding judgment in question, or based on grounds arising after the establishment of anything with the same effect as a final and binding judgment.

前項第二号本文の規定は、当該確定判決に係る訴訟の口頭弁論の終結後又は当該確定判決と同一の効力を有するものの成立後に生じた事由に基づいて同号本文に掲げる場合の当該差止請求をすることを妨げない。
