When a family court receives a petition for the mediation of a case other than cases that it may mediate pursuant to the provisions of Article 244, it transfers the case to a district court or summary court which has jurisdiction over the case by its own authority.
家庭裁判所は、第二百四十四条の規定により調停を行うことができる事件以外の事件について調停の申立てを受けた場合には、職権で、これを管轄権を有する地方裁判所又は簡易裁判所に移送する。
When a family court receives a petition for the mediation of a case that it may mediate pursuant to the provisions of Article 244, and when it finds it to be necessary in order to process the case, it may transfer the whole or part of the case to a district court or summary court which has jurisdiction over the case by its own authority.
家庭裁判所は、第二百四十四条の規定により調停を行うことができる事件について調停の申立てを受けた場合において、事件を処理するために必要があると認めるときは、職権で、事件の全部又は一部を管轄権を有する地方裁判所又は簡易裁判所に移送することができる。
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, when the family court finds it to be particularly necessary in order to process a case, it may transfer the case to a district court or summary court (limited to a court which has subject-matter jurisdiction) other than the district court or summary court which has jurisdiction over the case.
家庭裁判所は、事件を処理するために特に必要があると認めるときは、前二項の規定にかかわらず、その事件を管轄権を有する地方裁判所又は簡易裁判所以外の地方裁判所又は簡易裁判所（事物管轄権を有するものに限る。）に移送することができる。
The provisions of Article 9, paragraphs (3) through (5) apply mutatis mutandis to a decision of transfer under the provisions of the preceding three paragraphs.
第九条第三項から第五項までの規定は、前三項の規定による移送の裁判について準用する。

summary court
簡易裁判所
One of the four kinds of lower court (下級裁判所) beneath the Supreme Court, with the high courts (高等裁判所), the district courts (地方裁判所) and the family courts (家庭裁判所) (Courts Act, Article 1, and Article 2, paragraph (1)). A summary court has jurisdiction at first instance over civil claims whose value does not exceed 1.4 million yen, other than claims in administrative cases, and over criminal cases for offences punishable by no more than a fine or for which a fine is one of the penalties the law allows, among others (Article 33, paragraph (1)). A petition for court mediation goes, unless a special rule says otherwise, to the summary court for the place where the other party lives or has its business office or other office, or to a district court or summary court the parties agree on (Civil Mediation Act, Article 3, paragraph (1)).
