①An action for an injunctive order may be filed only in cases where any serious damage is likely to be caused if a certain original administrative disposition or administrative determination is made; provided, however, that this does not apply if there are any other appropriate means to avoid that damage.

②When judging whether or not any serious damage would be caused as prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the court is to consider the degree of difficulty in recovering from the damage and to take into consideration the nature and extent of the damage as well as the content and nature of the original administrative disposition or administrative determination.

③An action for an injunctive order may be filed only by a person who has legal interest to seek an order to the effect that an administrative authority should not make a certain original administrative disposition or administrative determination.

④The provisions of Article 9, paragraph (2) apply mutatis mutandis with regard to the judging of whether or not there is legal interest prescribed in the preceding paragraph.

⑤Where an action for an injunctive order satisfies the requirements prescribed in paragraph (1) and paragraph (3), if it is found that the provisions of the laws and regulations which give a basis for an original administrative disposition or administrative determination pertaining to an action for an injunctive order clearly show that the administrative authority should not make the original administrative disposition or administrative determination, or it is found that the administrative authority's act to make the original administrative disposition or administrative determination goes beyond the bounds of the authority's discretionary power or constitutes an abuse of that power, the court makes a judgment to order that the administrative authority should not make the original administrative disposition or administrative determination.
