Article 217Attendance of the Person in Charge

第二百十七条(責任者等の立会い)

When carrying out an inspection, a search, a seizure, or a seizure with an order to produce a copy of records at a person's residence, or at a mansion, building, or other place that a person watches over, a Commission official must have the owner or manager (or a representative, agent, or other person that may act on the owner's or manager's behalf) or the employee or co-habiting adult relative of the owner or manager, present at the site.

委員会職員は、人の住居又は人の看守する邸宅若しくは建造物その他の場所で臨検、捜索、差押え又は記録命令付差押えをするときは、その所有者若しくは管理者(これらの者の代表者、代理人その他これらの者に代わるべき者を含む。)又はこれらの者の使用人若しくは同居の親族で成年に達した者を立ち会わせなければならない。

In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if it is not possible to have any of the persons prescribed in that paragraph present at the site, a Commission official must have an adult neighbor of the person, or another police officer or official of the local government, present at the site.

前項の場合において、同項に規定する者を立ち会わせることができないときは、その隣人で成年に達した者又はその地の警察官若しくは地方公共団体の職員を立ち会わせなければならない。

When searching a female, a Commission official must have an adult female present; provided, however, that this does not apply in cases of urgency.

女子の身体について捜索するときは、成年の女子を立ち会わせなければならない。ただし、急速を要する場合はこの限りでない。
