Section 14 Adjudication Cases Regarding Acceptance and Renunciation of Inheritance
The law as Act on the Arrangement of Related Acts to Promote the Use of Information and Communications Technology in Civil Procedures, etc. (Act No. 53 of 2023) leaves it, with the words it changes marked.
The main text is read a page at a time: a chapter to a page, and a long chapter in runs of articles. The whole main text, and the supplementary provisions and appended tables this amendment changes. Those it leaves untouched are on the page for the text in force.
Adjudication cases regarding the acceptance and renunciation of an inheritance (meaning adjudication cases regarding the matters set forth in Appended Table 1, rows (90) through (95)) are subject to the jurisdiction of the family court which has jurisdiction over the place where the inheritance process has commenced.
