Article 184Examination of Evidence in a Foreign Country

第百八十四条(外国における証拠調べ)

The court must conduct an examination of evidence that is to be done in a foreign country by requesting the competent government agency of that country or the Japanese ambassador, minister, or consul stationed in that country to examine the evidence.

外国においてすべき証拠調べは、その国の管轄官庁又はその国に駐在する日本の大使、公使若しくは領事に嘱託してしなければならない。

Even if an examination of evidence conducted in a foreign country contravenes the laws of that country, it is still valid if it does not contravene this Code.

外国においてした証拠調べは、その国の法律に違反する場合であっても、この法律に違反しないときは、その効力を有する。
