Article 170Judicial Enforcement of Delivery If a Third Party Possesses the Subject Matter
第百七十条（目的物を第三者が占有する場合の引渡しの強制執行）
If a third party possesses the subject matter of judicial enforcement, if the third party is liable to deliver the object to the obligor, judicial enforcement of delivery of the object is carried out by the method in which the enforcement court seizes the obligor's claim for delivery against the third party and issues an order permitting the obligee to exercise the claim.
第三者が強制執行の目的物を占有している場合においてその物を債務者に引き渡すべき義務を負つているときは、物の引渡しの強制執行は、執行裁判所が、債務者の第三者に対する引渡請求権を差し押さえ、請求権の行使を債権者に許す旨の命令を発する方法により行う。
The provisions of Article 144, Article 145 (excluding paragraph (4)), Article 147, Article 148, Article 155, paragraphs (1) and (3) and Article 158 apply mutatis mutandis to the judicial enforcement referred to in the preceding paragraph.
