Article 103Place for Service

第百三条(送達場所)

Service of documents is effected at the domicile, residence, place of business, or business office of the person being served (referred to below as the person's "address" in this Subsection); provided, however, that the service of documents on a legal representative may also be made at the place of business or business office of the principal.

書類の送達は、送達を受けるべき者の住所、居所、営業所又は事務所(以下この款において「住所等」という。)においてする。ただし、法定代理人に対する書類の送達は、本人の営業所又は事務所においてもすることができる。

If the place specified in the preceding paragraph is unknown or there is an obstacle to effecting service at that place, service of documents may be effected at another person's address, where the person who is to be served works based on employment, entrustment, or any other legal act (referred to below as their "workplace"). The same applies if the person who is to be served (except one prescribed in paragraph (1) of the following Article) has entered a statement indicating a willingness to be served with documents at the workplace.

前項に定める場所が知れないとき、又はその場所において送達をするのに支障があるときは、書類の送達は、送達を受けるべき者が雇用、委任その他の法律上の行為に基づき就業する他人の住所等(以下「就業場所」という。)においてすることができる。送達を受けるべき者(次条第一項に規定する者を除く。)が就業場所において書類の送達を受ける旨の申述をしたときも、同様とする。
