Article 113Unauthorized Agency

第百十三条(無権代理)

A contract concluded by a person who acts as the agent of another person but has no authority to represent does not bind the principal unless the principal ratifies it.

代理権を有しない者が他人の代理人としてした契約は、本人がその追認をしなければ、本人に対してその効力を生じない。

The ratification or refusal to ratify may not be duly asserted against the counterparty unless it is made to that counterparty; provided, however, that this does not apply if the counterparty has come to know the ratification or refusal to ratify.

追認又はその拒絶は、相手方に対してしなければ、その相手方に対抗することができない。ただし、相手方がその事実を知ったときは、この限りでない。
