If a person filing a motion or statement or that person's legal representative makes a prima facie showing that disclosure of the whole or part of the information about the person's or legal representative's domicile, residence, or other place at which they are ordinarily present (referred to below as the person's or representative's "address" in this paragraph and the following paragraph) to a party would be likely to substantially interfere with their public life, the court may, upon application, reach a judicial decision in the form of a ruling to anonymize the whole or part of the person's or representative's address. The same applies with regard to the name of a person filing a motion or statement or that person's legal representative or any other information sufficient to identify that person or representative (referred to below as "identifying information" in the following paragraph).
When a person files the petition referred to in the preceding paragraph, they must file a notification with the court, in writing or by any other means specified by the Rules of the Supreme Court, indicating the address or identifying information of the person filing the motion or statement referred to in that paragraph or of that person's legal representative (referred to below as the "person seeking anonymity" in this Chapter; the address and identifying information of a person seeking anonymity are referred to as the "personal information of a person seeking anonymity" in paragraph (2) of the following Article) and indicating other information specified by the Rules of the Supreme Court.
Once a petition as referred to in paragraph (1) has been filed, no person other than the person seeking anonymity whom the petition concerns may request access to the part of a case record or filing records (meaning a case record or the records of a case in which there has been a petition for a disposition as referred to in Article 132-4, paragraph (1); the same applies in this Chapter) that contain information indicated in the notification under the provisions of the preceding paragraph (referred to as the "part of a record containing information indicated in an anonymity notification" in the following Article) (access to a case record or filing records means access to a case record, access to a hard-copy record of a disposition on the collection of evidence, or access to an electronic or magnetic record of a disposition on the collection of evidence; the same applies in this Chapter) until the judicial decision on that petition becomes final and binding.
第一項の申立てがあったときは、その申立てについての裁判が確定するまで、当該申立てに係る秘匿対象者以外の者は、訴訟記録等(訴訟記録又は第百三十二条の四第一項の処分の申立てに係る事件の記録をいう。以下この章において同じ。)中前項の規定による届出に係る部分(次条において「秘匿事項届出部分」という。)について訴訟記録等の閲覧等(訴訟記録の閲覧等、非電磁的証拠収集処分記録の閲覧等又は電磁的証拠収集処分記録の閲覧等をいう。以下この章において同じ。)の請求をすることができない。
An immediate appeal may be filed against a judicial decision denying the petition referred to in paragraph (1).
第一項の申立てを却下した裁判に対しては、即時抗告をすることができる。
When the court issues a ruling as referred to in paragraph (1) with regard to the domicile or name of a person seeking anonymity (referred to below as an "anonymity ruling" in this Chapter), it must specify, in that ruling, information that will be used in place of the domicile or name of the person seeking anonymity. To apply the provisions of this Code or of other laws and regulations in such a case if information used in place of a domicile or name has been entered or recorded in proceedings in the case in question or in a counterclaim, intervention, judicial enforcement, provisional seizure, or provisional disposition related to that case, the domicile or name of the person seeking anonymity is deemed to have been entered or recorded.
