第七十三条の二（第七十二条第一項第一号又は第二号の規定による損害の塡補についての履行期）
The government is not liable for delays following receipt of a claim to an indemnity for damage under Article 72, paragraph (1), item (i) or (ii) until the necessary period of time has passed to look into the accident caused by the operation of the automobile subject to the claim and to verify the amount of damage for which it must provide the indemnity.
政府は、第七十二条第一項第一号又は第二号の規定による損害の塡補の請求があつた後、当該請求に係る自動車の運行による事故及び塡補すべき損害の金額の確認をするために必要な期間が経過するまでは、遅滞の責任を負わない。
When the government is conducting the necessary investigations to look into an accident as prescribed in the preceding paragraph, if an injured party, without a legitimate reason, interferes or fails to comply with the investigation, the government is not liable for delays arising during the period that the indemnity for damage is delayed due to the interference or failure to comply.
政府が前項に規定する確認をするために必要な調査を行うに当たり、被害者が正当な理由なく当該調査を妨げ、又はこれに応じなかつた場合には、政府は、これにより損害の塡補を遅延した期間について、遅滞の責任を負わない。
