A party that intends to process a civil enforcement based on an arbitral award may file a petition with the court for an enforceability order (meaning an order allowing the civil enforcement based on an arbitral award; the same applies hereinafter), designating the obligor as the respondent.
仲裁判断に基づいて民事執行をしようとする当事者は、債務者を被申立人として、裁判所に対し、執行決定(仲裁判断に基づく民事執行を許す旨の決定をいう。以下同じ。)を求める申立てをすることができる。
In filing the petition referred to in the preceding paragraph, the party must submit a copy of the written arbitral award, a document proving that the content of the copy is the same as that of the written arbitral award, and a Japanese translation of the written arbitral award (excluding one prepared in Japanese; hereinafter the same applies in this paragraph); provided, however, that if the court finds it appropriate, after hearing the opinions of the respondent the court may decide not to require the submission of the Japanese translation of the whole or part of the written arbitral award.
前項の申立てをするときは、仲裁判断書の写し、当該写しの内容が仲裁判断書と同一であることを証明する文書及び仲裁判断書(日本語で作成されたものを除く。以下この項において同じ。)の日本語による翻訳文を提出しなければならない。ただし、裁判所は、相当と認めるときは、被申立人の意見を聴いて、仲裁判断書の全部又は一部について日本語による翻訳文を提出することを要しないものとすることができる。
If a petition for setting aside the arbitral award or suspending its effect is filed with the judicial body provided for in the preceding Article, paragraph (2), item (vii) and the court with which the petition referred to in paragraph (1) is filed finds it necessary to do so, the court may suspend the procedure related to the petition referred to in paragraph (1). In this case, the court may order the respondent to provide security, upon the petition of the person that filed the petition referred to in the paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 5, paragraphs (1) and (2), the case subject to the petition referred to in paragraph (1) is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the following courts:
までに第四十八条第四項第一号へ移動(令和五年法律第五十三号)
the courts set forth in the items of Article 5, paragraph (1);
第五条第一項各号に掲げる裁判所
までに第四十八条第四項第二号へ移動(令和五年法律第五十三号)

請求の目的又は差し押さえることができる被申立人の財産の所在地を管轄する地方裁判所
までに第四十八条第四項第三号へ移動(令和五年法律第五十三号)
the Tokyo District Court and the Osaka District Court (limited to the cases in which the place of arbitration, the location of the general venue of the respondent, or the location of the subject matter of the claim or the seizable property of the respondent is in Japan).
東京地方裁判所及び大阪地方裁判所(仲裁地、被申立人の普通裁判籍の所在地又は請求の目的若しくは差し押さえることができる被申立人の財産の所在地が日本国内にある場合に限る。)
An immediate appeal may be filed against the decision under Article 5, paragraph (4) or (5) with regard to a case related to the petition referred to in paragraph (1).
The court is required to make an enforceability order, except the case in which it dismisses the petition referred to in paragraph (1) without prejudice pursuant to the provisions of the following paragraph or paragraph (8).
If the petition referred to in paragraph (1) has been filed, the court may dismiss the petition without prejudice only when it finds that any of the grounds stated in the items of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article exist (for the grounds stated in items (i) through (vii) of that paragraph, limited to the case in which the respondent has proved the existence of the grounds).
裁判所は、第一項の申立てがあった場合において、前条第二項各号に掲げる事由のいずれかがあると認める場合(同項第一号から第七号までに掲げる事由にあっては、被申立人が当該事由の存在を証明した場合に限る。)に限り、当該申立てを却下することができる。
The provisions of paragraph (3) of the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis to the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraph if the grounds stated in the Article, paragraph (2), item (v) exist.
