第七百七条(他人の債務の弁済)

If a person that is not an obligor has performed an obligation by mistake and the obligee, acting in good faith, has allowed the instrument to be lost, has damaged the instrument, has waived the security, or has lost the claim by prescription, the person performing the obligation may not demand the return of subject of the performance.

債務者でない者が錯誤によって債務の弁済をした場合において、債権者が善意で証書を滅失させ若しくは損傷し、担保を放棄し、又は時効によってその債権を失ったときは、その弁済をした者は、返還の請求をすることができない。

The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not preclude the person performing an obligation from exercising the right to reimbursement against the obligor.

前項の規定は、弁済をした者から債務者に対する求償権の行使を妨げない。
