The presiding judge may limit any questions or statements by persons concerned in the case when their questions or statements overlap with previous questions or statements, are irrelevant to the case, or are otherwise inappropriate, insofar as this does not violate the essential rights of those persons. The same applies when the defendant is questioned by persons concerned in the case.
裁判長は、訴訟関係人のする尋問又は陳述が既にした尋問若しくは陳述と重複するとき、又は事件に関係のない事項にわたるときその他相当でないときは、訴訟関係人の本質的な権利を害しない限り、これを制限することができる。訴訟関係人の被告人に対する供述を求める行為についても同様である。
When examining a witness, an expert witness, an interpreter or a translator, if the presiding judge finds that there is a risk that the body or property of these persons or their relatives may be harmed, threatened or confused and that the witness, expert witness, interpreter or translator will not be able to give full testimony if said person's address or work place or other particulars specifying the ordinary whereabouts of these persons are disclosed, the presiding judge may limit the questions concerning these particulars; provided however, that this does not apply when limitations on the public prosecutor's examination may interfere considerably with proving the case, or when limitations on the examination by the defendant or the defense counsel may substantially harm the defense of the defendant.
裁判長は、証人、鑑定人、通訳人又は翻訳人を尋問する場合において、証人、鑑定人、通訳人若しくは翻訳人若しくはこれらの親族の身体若しくは財産に害を加え又はこれらの者を畏怖させ若しくは困惑させる行為がなされるおそれがあり、これらの者の住居、勤務先その他その通常所在する場所が特定される事項が明らかにされたならば証人、鑑定人、通訳人又は翻訳人が十分な供述をすることができないと認めるときは、当該事項についての尋問を制限することができる。ただし、検察官のする尋問を制限することにより犯罪の証明に重大な支障を生ずるおそれがあるとき、又は被告人若しくは弁護人のする尋問を制限することにより被告人の防御に実質的な不利益を生ずるおそれがあるときは、この限りでない。
The presiding judge may limit any questions or statements, if the ruling set forth under Article 290-2, paragraph (1) or paragraph (3) has been rendered, and the questions or statements by persons concerned in the case lead to particulars identifying the victim except in cases where placing restrictions may interfere considerably with proving the case or may substantially harm the defense of the defendant. The same applies when the defendant is questioned by persons concerned in the case.
裁判長は、第二百九十条の二第一項又は第三項の決定があつた場合において、訴訟関係人のする尋問又は陳述が被害者特定事項にわたるときは、これを制限することにより、犯罪の証明に重大な支障を生ずるおそれがある場合又は被告人の防御に実質的な不利益を生ずるおそれがある場合を除き、当該尋問又は陳述を制限することができる。訴訟関係人の被告人に対する供述を求める行為についても、同様とする。
The preceding paragraph also applies to questions or statements made by persons concerned in the case, or an act of persons concerned in the case seeking a statement from the defendant, in the case where a ruling under Article 290-3, paragraph (1) has been rendered. In this case, the term "particulars identifying the victim" in the same paragraph is replaced with "particulars identifying the witness or the like."
第二百九十条の三第一項の決定があつた場合における訴訟関係人のする尋問若しくは陳述又は訴訟関係人の被告人に対する供述を求める行為についても、前項と同様とする。この場合において、同項中「被害者特定事項」とあるのは、「証人等特定事項」とする。
If the public prosecutor or attorney acting as a defense counsel, who is subject to an order pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, disobeys the order, a court may notify the person with authority to direct and supervise that public prosecutor or the bar association to which that attorney belongs or the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, and request that appropriate measures be taken.
裁判所は、前各項の規定による命令を受けた検察官又は弁護士である弁護人がこれに従わなかつた場合には、検察官については当該検察官を指揮監督する権限を有する者に、弁護士である弁護人については当該弁護士の所属する弁護士会又は日本弁護士連合会に通知し、適当な処置をとるべきことを請求することができる。
A person who has received a request pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph must notify the court of measures the person has taken.
前項の規定による請求を受けた者は、そのとつた処置を裁判所に通知しなければならない。

public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).
