Article 157Denial of Allegations or Evidence Presented After Their Time

第百五十七条(時機に後れた攻撃防御方法の却下等)

If the court finds that the allegations or evidence that a party has presented, whether intentionally or through gross negligence, after the time for presenting them will delay the conclusion of litigation, it may rule to deny them, upon petition or sua sponte.

当事者が故意又は重大な過失により時機に後れて提出した攻撃又は防御の方法については、これにより訴訟の完結を遅延させることとなると認めたときは、裁判所は、申立てにより又は職権で、却下の決定をすることができる。

The provisions of the preceding paragraph also apply if a party does not give the necessary explanation with regard to allegations or evidence whose import is unclear, or does not appear on the date for giving an explanation.

攻撃又は防御の方法でその趣旨が明瞭でないものについて当事者が必要な釈明をせず、又は釈明をすべき期日に出頭しないときも、前項と同様とする。
