Article 459Right to Reimbursement of Guarantor Guaranteeing by Request

第四百五十九条(委託を受けた保証人の求償権)

If a guarantor gives guarantee as requested by the principal obligor, and performs the obligation on behalf of the principal obligor or performs any other act that causes the obligation to be extinguished in exchange for the guarantor's own property (referred to as an "act for extinguishment of obligation" below), the guarantor has a right to reimbursement from the principal obligor for the amount of property expended for that act (if the amount of property exceeds the amount of the principal obligation extinguished by the act for extinguishment of obligation, the amount thus extinguished).

保証人が主たる債務者の委託を受けて保証をした場合において、主たる債務者に代わって弁済その他自己の財産をもって債務を消滅させる行為(以下「債務の消滅行為」という。)をしたときは、その保証人は、主たる債務者に対し、そのために支出した財産の額(その財産の額がその債務の消滅行為によって消滅した主たる債務の額を超える場合にあっては、その消滅した額)の求償権を有する。

The provisions of Article 442, paragraph (2) apply mutatis mutandis to the cases stated in the preceding paragraph.

第四百四十二条第二項の規定は、前項の場合について準用する。
