The recovery of business deposits for prepaid services under the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs may not be made without the approval of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry having been obtained pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
前二項の規定による前受業務保証金の取戻しは、経済産業省令で定めるところにより、経済産業大臣の承認を受けなければ、することができない。
Beyond what is prescribed in the preceding paragraph, necessary matters relevant to the recovery of business deposits for prepaid services under the provisions of paragraph (1) or paragraph (2), are specified by Order of the Ministry of Justice and Order of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The cancellation of a contract on the entrustment of business deposits under the provisions of paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) does not become effective without the approval of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry having been obtained pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
It is not permissible for a contract on the entrustment of business deposits as a preservative measure for advances received to be cancelled in whole or in part, except in the cases prescribed in paragraph (1) or paragraph (2); provided, however, that this does not apply if a part of the contract on the entrustment of business deposits is canceled and the contract on the entrustment of business deposits still satisfies the requirements prescribed in Article 18-3, paragraph (3).

定款
会社を設立するときに発起人(持分会社では社員になろうとする者)が作成する、会社の根本規則です(会社法第二十六条・第五百七十五条)。目的・商号・本店の所在地・設立に際して出資される財産の価額又はその最低額・発起人の氏名又は名称及び住所は必ず記載します(第二十七条)。株式会社の定款は公証人の認証を受けなければ効力を生じず(第三十条第一項)、成立後は株主総会の決議で変更できます(第四百六十六条)。「定款に別段の定めがある場合を除き」とする規定が多く、会社法がその会社にどう適用されるかを定款が大きく左右します。
会社法第26条・第27条・第30条・第466条・第575条、Wikipedia「定款」を参考にAIが作成。
対抗
権利やそれに関する事実を、当事者以外の者に対して主張できることです。土地や建物の所有権などの物権を取得したり、失ったり、変更したりしたことは、登記をしなければ第三者に対抗することができず(民法第百七十七条)、登記をした不動産の賃貸借は、その不動産について物権を取得した者その他の第三者に対抗することができます(同法第六百五条)。借地借家法は、賃貸借そのものを登記しなくてもよいようにしています。建物の所有を目的とする借地権は、土地の上に借地人が登記された建物を持っていれば第三者に対抗することができ(借地借家法第十条第一項)、建物の賃貸借は、建物の引渡しを受けていれば、その後にその建物について物権を取得した者に対して効力を生じます(同法第三十一条)。知らなかった第三者だけが守られる定めもあり、詐欺による意思表示の取消しは、詐欺を知らず、知らなかったことに過失もない第三者に対抗することができません(民法第九十六条第三項)。
民法第96条・第177条・第605条、借地借家法第10条・第31条を参考にAIが作成。
解除
契約や法律の規定により当事者の一方が解除権を持つとき、相手方に対する意思表示によって契約を終わらせることです(民法第五百四十条第一項)。民法は、相手方が債務を履行しないときの解除を定めています。相当の期間を定めて履行を催告してもその期間内に履行がないときは解除でき(残った不履行が軽微なときを除きます。同法第五百四十一条)、履行の全部が不能であるとき、相手方が履行を拒む意思をはっきり示したときなど、履行を受ける見込みがないことが明らかなときは、催告をせずにすぐ解除できます(同法第五百四十二条第一項)。解除すると、各当事者は相手方を元の状態に戻す義務を負い、損害賠償の請求もできます(同法第五百四十五条第一項・第四項)。ただし、賃貸借の解除は将来に向かってのみ効力を生じます(同法第六百二十条)。取り消された行為が初めから無効であったものとみなされる取消し(同法第百二十一条)とは異なります。

監査役
株式会社の役員の一つで、株主総会の決議で選任され(会社法第三百二十九条第一項)、取締役の職務の執行を監査して監査報告を作成します(第三百八十一条第一項)。外部の会計専門家である会計監査人とは別の機関で、その会社や子会社の取締役・使用人などを兼ねることはできません(第三百三十五条第二項)。任期は原則として、選任後四年以内に終了する事業年度のうち最終のものに関する定時株主総会の終結の時までです(第三百三十六条第一項)。

消費者委員会
内閣府に置かれる委員会です(消費者庁及び消費者委員会設置法第六条第一項)。内閣総理大臣が任命する十人以内の委員で組織し、委員は独立してその職権を行います(消費者庁及び消費者委員会設置法第七条・第九条第一項・第十条第一項)。消費者の利益の擁護と増進、景品類等の適正化、物価などに関する重要事項について、自ら調査審議して内閣総理大臣、関係各大臣または消費者庁長官に建議し、また、その諮問に応じて調査審議します。消費者庁及び消費者委員会設置法第六条第二項第四号に掲げる法律によってその権限とされた事項も処理します(消費者庁及び消費者委員会設置法第六条第二項第一号・第二号・第四号)。不当景品類及び不当表示防止法では、内閣総理大臣は、景品類や表示の指定、景品類の制限や禁止をしようとするときは、消費者委員会の意見を聴かなければなりません(不当景品類及び不当表示防止法第三条・第六条)。特定商取引に関する法律では、主務大臣は、一定の政令の制定や改廃の立案をしようとするときは、消費者委員会に諮問しなければなりません(特定商取引に関する法律第六十四条)。

罰金
金銭を国に納めさせる刑罰で、一万円以上です。減軽する場合は一万円未満に下げることができます(刑法第十五条)。拘禁刑より軽く、拘留や科料より重い刑です(同法第九条・第十条第一項)。完納できない人は、一日以上二年以下(罰金を併科した場合などは三年以下)の期間、労役場に留置され、その期間は刑の言渡しのときに定められます(同法第十八条第一項・第三項・第四項)。裁判が確定した後三十日以内は、本人の承諾がなければ留置の執行はできません(同条第五項)。刑の言渡しが確定した後、三年間執行を受けないと時効が完成し、執行の免除を得ます(同法第三十一条・第三十二条第五号)。ただし、法令により執行を猶予し又は停止した期間や、本人が国外にいる期間は時効が進行せず、執行行為をすると時効は中断します(同法第三十三条・第三十四条第二項)。
刑法第9条・第10条・第15条・第18条・第31条〜第34条を参考にAIが作成。
損害賠償
他人に生じさせた損害を償うことです。債務者が債務の本旨に従った履行をしないときや履行ができないときは、債権者はこれによって生じた損害の賠償を請求でき(民法第四百十五条第一項。契約その他の債務の発生原因や取引上の社会通念に照らして債務者の責めに帰することができない事由によるときを除きます)、故意又は過失によって他人の権利や法律上保護される利益を侵害した者は、これによって生じた損害を賠償する責任を負います(同法第七百九条)。損害賠償は、特に取り決めがなければ金銭で支払い(同法第四百十七条・第七百二十二条第一項)、契約の当事者は債務不履行のときの賠償額をあらかじめ定めることができ、違約金は賠償額の予定と推定されます(同法第四百二十条第一項・第三項)。消費者契約法は、契約の解除に伴う損害賠償の額の予定や違約金のうち、これらを合わせた額が、条項で定めた解除の事由や時期などの区分ごとに、同種の消費者契約の解除に伴いその事業者に生ずべき平均的な損害の額を超える部分を無効としています(消費者契約法第九条第一項第一号)。
民法第415条・第417条・第420条・第709条・第722条、消費者契約法第9条を参考にAIが作成。
取締役
株式会社の役員の一つで、株主総会の決議で選任されます(会社法第三百二十九条第一項)。株式会社には一人以上の取締役を置かなければなりません(第三百二十六条第一項)。取締役会を置かない会社では、定款に別段の定めがない限り取締役が業務を執行し(第三百四十八条第一項)、代表取締役など会社を代表する者を定めていなければ各自が会社を代表します(第三百四十九条第一項・第三項)。取締役会を置く会社では、取締役全員で取締役会を構成し、取締役会が業務執行を決定して、原則として取締役の中から代表取締役を選びます(第三百六十二条)。任期は原則として、選任後二年以内に終了する事業年度のうち最終のものに関する定時株主総会の終結の時までです(第三百三十二条第一項)。

拘禁刑
刑事施設に拘置する刑です。無期と有期があり、有期は一月以上二十年以下です(刑法第十二条第一項・第二項)。刑を加重するときは三十年まで上げ、減軽するときは一月未満に下げることができます(同法第十四条第二項)。改善更生を図るため、必要な作業を行わせ、又は必要な指導を行うことができます(同法第十二条第三項)。主刑の中では死刑の次に重く、罰金より重い刑です(同法第九条・第十条第一項)。刑法等の一部を改正する法律(令和四年法律第六十七号)の施行により、懲役と禁錮に代わって設けられました(同法第二条)。懲役又は禁錮に処せられた人は、人の資格に関する法令の適用については、刑期を同じくする拘禁刑に処せられた人とみなされます(令和四年法律第六十八号第四百四十三条第一項)。

意思表示
法律上の効果が認められる、人が自分の意思を表すことで、契約の申込みや承諾、取消しや解除の通知などがこれに当たります(民法第五百二十二条第一項・第五百二十七条・第百二十三条・第五百四十条第一項)。契約の内容を示してその締結を申し入れる意思表示(申込み)に対して相手方が承諾をすると契約が成立し(民法第五百二十二条第一項)、取り消すことができる行為の取消しや契約の解除も、相手方に対する意思表示によってします(同法第百二十三条・第五百四十条第一項)。相手方に対する意思表示は、その通知が相手方に届いた時から効力を生じ(同法第九十七条第一項)、通知を出した後に意思表示をした人が亡くなったり、意思能力を失ったり、一人でできる行為を法律で制限されたりしても、効力を失いません(同条第三項)。相手方が誰か、又はその所在が分からないときは、公示の方法によってすることができます(同法第九十八条第一項)。本心でないと自分で分かっていてした意思表示も、それだけでは無効になりませんが、相手方がそのことを知り、又は知ることができたときは無効であり(同法第九十三条第一項)、相手方と示し合わせてした偽りの意思表示も無効です(同法第九十四条第一項)。これらの無効は、そのことを知らない第三者に対しては主張することができません(同法第九十三条第二項・第九十四条第二項)。法律行為の目的や取引上の社会通念に照らして重要な錯誤に基づく意思表示は取り消すことができます。ただし、法律行為の基礎とした事情についての思い違いによるものは、その事情が基礎とされていることが表示されていたときに限って取り消すことができ、錯誤が意思表示をした人の重大な過失によるときは、原則として取り消すことができません(同法第九十五条第一項から第三項まで)。錯誤や詐欺による取消しは、そのことを知らず、知らないことに過失もない第三者に対しては主張できません(同法第九十五条第四項・第九十六条第三項)。詐欺又は強迫による意思表示も取り消すことができ、第三者が詐欺を行ったときは、相手方がそれを知り、又は知ることができたときに限ります(同法第九十六条第一項・第二項)。代理人がその権限内で本人のためにすることを示してした意思表示は、本人に対して直接に効力を生じます(同法第九十九条第一項)。消費者契約法は、事業者が勧誘の際に重要事項について事実と異なることを告げ、消費者がそれを事実と誤認して契約の申込み又は承諾の意思表示をした場合などに、消費者がそれを取り消すことができるとし(消費者契約法第四条第一項第一号)、特定商取引に関する法律も、訪問販売で販売業者などが商品の種類や価格などについて不実のことを告げた場合に同じようにしています(特定商取引に関する法律第六条第一項・第九条の三第一項第一号)。
民法第93条・第94条・第95条・第96条・第97条・第98条・第99条・第123条・第522条・第527条・第540条、消費者契約法第4条、特定商取引に関する法律第6条・第9条の3を参考にAIが作成。
供託所
法令の定めにより供託する金銭や有価証券を保管する役所で、法務局、地方法務局、それらの支局、または法務大臣が指定するそれらの出張所がこれに当たります(供託法第一条)。事務は、法務局や地方法務局の長が供託官として指定した職員が取り扱います(供託法第一条の二)。宅地建物取引業法では、宅地建物取引業者は、営業保証金を主たる事務所の最寄りの供託所に供託しなければなりません(宅地建物取引業法第二十五条第一項)。業者と宅地建物取引業に関して取引をした人(ほかの業者を除きます)は、その取引で生じた債権について、この営業保証金から支払を受ける権利があります(宅地建物取引業法第二十七条第一項)。業者は、契約が成立するまでに、相手方にその供託所と所在地を説明しなければなりません。業者が宅地建物取引業保証協会の社員であるときは、協会の名称や所在地と、協会が供託した供託所とその所在地を説明します(宅地建物取引業法第三十五条の二)。

内閣総理大臣
内閣の首長です。国会議員の中から国会の議決で指名され、天皇が任命します(第六十七条第一項・第六条第一項)。国務大臣を任意に任命し罷免することができ、その過半数は国会議員でなければなりません(第六十八条)。国務大臣は、その在任中、内閣総理大臣の同意がなければ訴追されません(第七十五条)。

審査請求
行政庁の処分に不服がある者や、法令に基づいて処分の申請をしたのに相当の期間が経過しても行政庁が何の処分もしない(不作為)ときにその申請をした者が、行政庁に対して不服を申し立て、見直しを求めることです(行政不服審査法第二条・第三条)。法律(条例に基づく処分については、条例)に特別の定めがある場合を除き、処分をした行政庁(処分庁)や不作為に係る行政庁に上級行政庁がないとき、又はその行政庁が主任の大臣や一定の庁の長などであるときはその行政庁に、主任の大臣や一定の庁の長などが上級行政庁であるときはその大臣や長に、それ以外のときは最上級行政庁に対してします(同法第四条)。ほかの法律が、審査請求をする先の機関や手続について別の定めを置くこともあります(同法第一条第二項・第四条)。たとえば厚生年金保険法は、厚生労働大臣による被保険者の資格、標準報酬又は保険給付に関する処分(厚生年金保険原簿の訂正の請求についての決定を除きます)についての審査請求を社会保険審査官に対してするものとし、行政不服審査法の規定の多くを適用しないとしています(厚生年金保険法第九十条第一項・第九十一条の二)。行政不服審査法では、処分についての審査請求は、処分があったことを知った日の翌日から三か月(先に再調査の請求をしたときは、その決定があったことを知った日の翌日から一か月)を過ぎるとすることができず、処分(再調査の請求をしたときはその決定)があった日の翌日から一年を過ぎてもすることができません。ただし、正当な理由があるときは別です(行政不服審査法第十八条第一項・第二項)。審査請求をしても、それだけでは処分の効力や執行、手続の続行は止まりません(同法第二十五条第一項)。ただし、審査庁は、審査請求人の申立てにより(処分庁又はその上級行政庁である審査庁は職権でも)その全部又は一部を停止すること(執行停止)ができ、審査請求人の申立てがあった場合で、重大な損害を避けるために緊急の必要があるときは、公共の福祉に重大な影響を及ぼすおそれがあるときや本案に理由がないとみえるときを除き、執行停止をしなければなりません(同条第二項から第四項まで)。審査請求を受けた行政庁(審査庁)は、裁決で判断します。期間を過ぎたものなど不適法な審査請求は却下し、理由のないものは棄却し、理由のあるものは処分の全部若しくは一部を取り消し、又は変更します。ただし、審査請求人の不利益に変更することはできず、処分庁でも処分庁の上級行政庁でもない審査庁は処分を変更することができません(同法第四十五条第一項・第二項、第四十六条第一項、第四十八条)。事実上の行為についての審査請求に理由があるときは、裁決でその行為が違法又は不当であることを宣言し、その全部若しくは一部を撤廃し、若しくは変更するよう命じ、又は自ら撤廃し、若しくは変更します(同法第四十七条)。不作為についての審査請求に理由があるときは、審査庁は、裁決でその不作為が違法又は不当であることを宣言し、一定の処分をすべきと認めるときは、その処分をするよう命じ、又は自らその処分をします(同法第四十九条第三項)。処分が違法又は不当でも、取り消し、又は撤廃すると公の利益に著しい障害が生じるときは、そのことを裁決で宣言した上で審査請求を棄却することができます(同法第四十五条第三項)。裁決は、審査請求人に送達された時(処分の相手方以外の者がした審査請求について、処分を取り消し、若しくは変更し、又は事実上の行為について判断する裁決をするときは、審査請求人と処分の相手方の両方に送達された時)に効力を生じ、関係行政庁を拘束します(同法第五十一条第一項・第五十二条第一項)。

取消し
取り消すことができるとされた法律行為(契約の申込みや承諾の意思表示など)を、さかのぼってなかったものにすることです。重要な錯誤による意思表示(行為の基礎とした事情についての錯誤は、その事情が基礎とされていることが表示されていたときに限り取り消すことができ、自分の重大な過失による錯誤のときは原則としてできません。民法第九十五条)、詐欺・強迫による意思表示(第三者が詐欺を行ったときは、相手方がそれを知り、又は知ることができたときに限ります。同法第九十六条)、未成年者が法定代理人の同意を得ずにした法律行為(同法第五条第二項)などが取り消すことができるものです。取り消された行為は、初めから無効であったものとみなされます(同法第百二十一条)。取り消すことができるのは、その意思表示をした者やその代理人、承継人、同意をすることができる者に限られます(同法第百二十条)。取消権は、追認をすることができる時、つまり錯誤や詐欺などの状況がなくなり、取り消せることを知った時から五年、行為の時から二十年を過ぎると、時効によって消滅します(同法第百二十四条・第百二十六条)。追認をすれば、それ以後は取り消すことができず、追認をすることができる時以後に、異議をとどめずに履行をしたり履行を請求したりすると、追認をしたものとみなされます(同法第百二十二条・第百二十五条)。消費者契約法は、事業者が勧誘の際に重要事項について事実と異なることを告げ、消費者がそれを事実と誤認して契約した場合など、独自の取消しを定め(消費者契約法第四条第一項第一号)、その多くについて、追認をすることができる時から一年、契約の締結の時から五年という短い期間を定めています(同法第七条第一項)。

無効
初めから法律上の効力がないことです。無効な行為は、追認しても効力を生じず、無効であることを知って追認したときは新たな行為をしたものとみなされます(民法第百十九条)。公の秩序又は善良の風俗に反する法律行為は無効です(同法第九十条)。また、一方を守るための法律の中には、その保護を失わせる定めを無効とするものがあります。借地権の存続期間や更新についての借地借家法の定めに反する特約で借地人に不利なもの(借地借家法第九条)、事業者の債務不履行により消費者に生じた損害を賠償する責任の全部を免除する消費者契約の条項(消費者契約法第八条第一項第一号)、労働基準法で定める基準に達しない労働条件を定める労働契約の部分(労働基準法第十三条。無効となった部分は同法の基準によります)がその例です。
