When there is no likelihood of any agreement to be reached between the parties (including the agreement set forth in Article 277, paragraph (1), item (i)) or when a mediation committee finds that an agreement that has been reached is inappropriate, the mediation committee may close the case for mediation of domestic relations, considering that mediation has been unsuccessful; provided, however, that this does not apply when a family court has made a ruling in lieu of mediation under the provisions of Article 284, paragraph (1).
調停委員会は、当事者間に合意(第二百七十七条第一項第一号の合意を含む。)が成立する見込みがない場合又は成立した合意が相当でないと認める場合には、調停が成立しないものとして、家事調停事件を終了させることができる。ただし、家庭裁判所が第二百八十四条第一項の規定による調停に代わる審判をしたときは、この限りでない。
When a case for mediation of domestic relations has been closed pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, a family court must give notice to that effect to the parties.
前項の規定により家事調停事件が終了したときは、家庭裁判所は、当事者に対し、その旨を通知しなければならない。
If, with regard to a case for which a petition for mediation of domestic relations has been filed, a party has filed an action within two weeks from the day on which the party has received notice under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the action is deemed to have been filed at the time of the filing of the petition for mediation of domestic relations.
当事者が前項の規定による通知を受けた日から二週間以内に家事調停の申立てがあった事件について訴えを提起したときは、家事調停の申立ての時に、その訴えの提起があったものとみなす。
When a mediation case regarding any of the matters set forth in Appended Table 2 has been closed pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), it is deemed that a petition for the adjudication of domestic relations regarding the matter has been filed at the time of the filing of the petition for mediation of domestic relations.
