①Upon request from the victim, etc. of the case involving a juvenile as prescribed in Article 3, paragraph (1), item (i) or (ii), pursuant to the Rules of the Supreme Court, the family court is to give the following notice of matters to the person that filed the request if the court has given a ruling to close the case; provided, however, that this does not apply if the court finds the giving of that notice is likely to hinder sound development of the juvenile and is inappropriate:

②The request stated in the preceding paragraph may not be filed after three years have passed since the ruling prescribed in that paragraph has become final and binding.

③The provisions of Article 5-2, paragraph (3) apply mutatis mutandis to the person who received the information pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1).

The juvenile, legal representative, or attendant may file an appeal against a ruling imposing disposition for rehabilitation of an adjudicated delinquent within two weeks, only if the appeal is based on a violation of laws and regulations that affect the ruling, or if a serious inaccuracy of facts or a gross injustice in the disposition is found; provided, however, that the attendant may not file an appeal that is contrary to the intent clearly indicated by the parent or guardian who appointed the attendant.

①The court in charge of an appeal is to investigate only the matters included in the reasons for the appeal.

②The court in charge of an appeal, by the court's own authority, may investigate any grounds for the appeal, even if the matters are not included in the reasons for the appeal.

①The court in charge of an appeal may examine the facts when it is necessary to give a ruling.

②The court in charge of an appeal may have a member of the panel of judges perform the examination prescribed in the preceding paragraph, or delegate it to a judge of a family court.

①If a ruling is made as prescribed in Article 22-2, paragraph (1), a public prosecutor may file a request for acceptance of an appeal which may be filed with the high court within two weeks regarding the ruling to impose or not to impose the disposition for rehabilitation of an adjudicated delinquent by the court of second instance, only if the appeal is based on a violation of laws and regulations that affect the ruling, or if a serious inaccuracy of facts is found concerning the fact finding on the delinquent act, for the case that the ruling prescribed in that paragraph is given.

②The request pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph (referred to as "request for acceptance of an appeal" below) must be filed by a written request to the court of prior instance. In this case, the court of prior instance must promptly transfer it to a high court.

③When a request for acceptance of an appeal is filed, the high court may accept it if it finds it appropriate to accept the case as the court of second instance. In this case, the high court must give a ruling to that effect.

④When making the ruling prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the high court may eliminate any of the reasons from the reasons stated in the request for acceptance of an appeal, if the court finds it unimportant.

⑤The high court must give the ruling prescribed in paragraph (3) within two weeks from the date on which the court received the written request prescribed in paragraph (2) from the court of prior instance.

⑥When the ruling prescribed in paragraph (3) is made, it is deemed that an appeal has been filed. In this case, to apply the provisions of Article 32-2, the reasons for the request for acceptance of an appeal, excluding those eliminated pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (4), are deemed as the reasons for the appeal.

①When the ruling prescribed in paragraph (3) of the preceding Article is given, the court in charge of the appeal must appoint an attendant who is an attorney-at-law, if the juvenile does not have an attendant who is an attorney-at-law.

②For the case prescribed in Article 22-3, paragraph (2) (limited to the case for which the family court conducted the measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), item (ii)), the court in charge of the appeal may appoint an attendant who is an attorney-at-law, if the juvenile does not have an attendant who is an attorney-at-law, and if the court finds that an attendant who is an attorney-at-law, needs to attend the proceedings of second instance, taking into consideration the nature of the case, presence or absence of the parent or guardian and other circumstances.

Beyond what is provided for in Articles 32-2, 32-3 and the preceding Article, the rules of the family court concerning trial and decision apply mutatis mutandis to proceedings of second instance unless contrary to its nature.

①If the procedure for an appeal violates the provisions, or if there are no grounds for an appeal, it must be dismissed by a ruling.

②If there are grounds for an appeal, the court must issue a ruling, revoke the ruling given in the prior instance, and remand the case to the court of prior instance, or transfer the case to another family court.

No appeal is to have the effect of suspending execution; provided, however, that the court of prior or second instance may suspend the execution by a ruling.

①The juvenile, or the statutory agent or attendant of the juvenile, may particularly appeal against the ruling prescribed in Article 33 given by the court in charge of the appeal to the Supreme Court within two weeks, only on the grounds that the ruling violates the Constitution or the Constitution is misconstrued, or is contrary to the precedents of the Supreme Court or the high court as the court of second instance; provided, however, that the attendant may not file an appeal that goes against the explicit intentions of the parent or guardian who appointed the attendant.

②The provisions of Article 32-2, Article 32-3, Article 32-5, paragraph (2) and Article 32-6 through to the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis to the case prescribed in the preceding paragraph. In this case, the term "revoke the ruling given in the prior instance, and remand the case to the court of prior instance, or transfer the case to another family court" in Article 33, paragraph (2) is deemed to be replaced with "revoke the ruling. In this case, the ruling given by the family court may be revoked, and remand the case to the family court, or transfer the case to another family court".

Beyond what is provided for in this Act, matters necessary for protection cases are prescribed by the Supreme Court.
