第二十三条(差止請求権の行使等)

A qualified consumer organization must appropriately exercise its right to demand an injunction in the interest of a large, non-exclusive group of consumers.

適格消費者団体は、不特定かつ多数の消費者の利益のために、差止請求権を適切に行使しなければならない。

適格消費者団体は、差止請求権を濫用してはならない。

A qualified consumer organization, in addition to exercising its right to demand an injunction jointly with other qualified consumer organizations in accordance with the nature of the cases, must endeavor to cooperate and coordinate with those organizations in providing services related to the right to demand an injunction.

In the following cases, a qualified consumer organization must notify that fact to other qualified consumer organizations pursuant to the provisions of Cabinet Office Order as well as report the fact, its details and other matters prescribed by Cabinet Office Order to the Prime Minister without delay. In this case, if the qualified consumer organization in lieu of the notification or report takes measures that enables all of the qualified consumer organizations and the Prime Minister to access the same information by electronic or magnetic means (meaning through the use of an electronic data processing system or any other application of information and communications technology; the same applies hereinafter) which are prescribed by Cabinet Office Order, the qualified consumer organization is deemed to have made a notification to those organizations and have made a report to the Prime Minister:

適格消費者団体は、次に掲げる場合には、内閣府令で定めるところにより、遅滞なく、その旨を他の適格消費者団体に通知するとともに、その旨及びその内容その他内閣府令で定める事項を内閣総理大臣に報告しなければならない。この場合において、当該適格消費者団体が、当該通知及び報告に代えて、すべての適格消費者団体及び内閣総理大臣が電磁的方法(電子情報処理組織を使用する方法その他の情報通信の技術を利用する方法をいう。以下同じ。)を利用して同一の情報を閲覧することができる状態に置く措置であって内閣府令で定めるものを講じたときは、当該通知及び報告をしたものとみなす。

when an extra-judicial settlement has been reached involving a demand for injunction, or when any other agreement has been reached or failed to be reached with the other party of the demand for injunction;

差止請求に係る裁判外の和解が成立したときその他差止請求に関する相手方との間の協議が調ったとき、又はこれが調わなかったとき。

when the qualified consumer organization intends to engage in an act pertaining to the waiver of the demand, settlement, withdrawal of an appeal, or any other proceedings prescribed by Cabinet Office Order with regard to a demand for injunction, which would result in a final and binding judgment or an act with the same effect;

差止請求に関し、請求の放棄、和解、上訴の取下げその他の内閣府令で定める手続に係る行為であって、それにより確定判決及びこれと同一の効力を有するものが存することとなるものをしようとするとき。

if the qualified consumer organization has taken any other acts pertaining to proceedings prescribed by Cabinet Office Order with regard to a demand for injunction.

その他差止請求に関し内閣府令で定める手続に係る行為がされたとき。

Having received a report under the preceding paragraph, the Prime Minister is to communicate the date and time of the report, an outline thereof, and any other matters specified by Cabinet Office Order to other qualified consumer organizations and to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, by taking measures that enable all of the qualified consumer organizations as well as the Prime Minister and the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry to access the same information by using electronic or magnetic means, or in any other ways prescribed by Cabinet Office Order.
