Article 714Liability of Person Obligated to Supervise a Person Without Capacity to Assume Responsibility

第七百十四条(責任無能力者の監督義務者等の責任)

When a person without capacity to assume responsibility is not liable pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two Articles, the person with the statutory obligation to supervise the person without capacity to assume responsibility is liable to damages that the person without capacity to assume responsibility has inflicted on a third party; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person who has the obligation to supervise has not failed to perform that person's obligation or if the damage could not have been avoided even if that person had not failed to perform that person's obligation.

前二条の規定により責任無能力者がその責任を負わない場合において、その責任無能力者を監督する法定の義務を負う者は、その責任無能力者が第三者に加えた損害を賠償する責任を負う。ただし、監督義務者がその義務を怠らなかったとき、又はその義務を怠らなくても損害が生ずべきであったときは、この限りでない。

A person who supervises a person without capacity assumes responsibility on behalf of the person who has the obligation to supervise also has the liability referred to in the preceding paragraph.

監督義務者に代わって責任無能力者を監督する者も、前項の責任を負う。
