1 article
A person who is compelled to commit a harmful act to protect their own or third party's rights or legally protected interests in response to another person's tortious act is not liable for damages; provided, however, that this does not preclude a victim from filing a claim for damages against the person that committed the tort.
他人の不法行為に対し、自己又は第三者の権利又は法律上保護される利益を防衛するため、やむを得ず加害行為をした者は、損害賠償の責任を負わない。ただし、被害者から不法行為をした者に対する損害賠償の請求を妨げない。
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis if the person in question damages a thing belonging to another person in order to avert an imminent danger arising from that thing.
前項の規定は、他人の物から生じた急迫の危難を避けるためその物を損傷した場合について準用する。
This names a provision as it read when this amending Act was made. It may have been amended since, so today's text can say something else. That is why it is not a link.This names a law that is not in this collection, so there is nothing here to open.We could not tell which provision this names, so it is not a link.
