Article 381-4Transfer to Ordinary Proceedings

第三百八十一条の四(通常の手続への移行)

In the following cases, the court must issue a ruling that the action will be tried and a judicial decision will be reached through ordinary proceedings:

次に掲げる場合には、裁判所は、訴訟を通常の手続により審理及び裁判をする旨の決定をしなければならない。

if one or both parties enter a statement requesting that the case be transferred to ordinary proceedings; or

当事者の双方又は一方が訴訟を通常の手続に移行させる旨の申出をしたとき。

if the court finds that it will be difficult to try the action or reach a judicial decision through court proceedings in a trial with a statutory-limited duration in light of the allegations and evidence submitted and the status of the trial.

提出された攻撃又は防御の方法及び審理の現状に照らして法定審理期間訴訟手続により審理及び裁判をするのが困難であると認めるとき。

No appeal may be entered against the ruling stated in the preceding paragraph.

前項の決定に対しては、不服を申し立てることができない。

If a case is transferred to ordinary proceedings, the dates designated for court proceedings in a trial with a statutory-limited duration must be deemed to have been designated for the purpose of ordinary litigation proceedings.

訴訟が通常の手続に移行したときは、法定審理期間訴訟手続のため既に指定した期日は、通常の手続のために指定したものとみなす。
