If a person entitled to register is unable to file an application for cancellation of registration of a right jointly with those with whom the person entitled to register should jointly file the application for cancellation of registration due to their whereabouts being unknown, the person entitled to register may file a petition for public notification prescribed in Article 99 of the Non-Contentious Case Procedures Act (Act No. 51 of 2011).
When the registration referred to in the preceding paragraph is a registration concerning superficies, farming right, pledge, right of lease or right of quarrying, or a registration concerning special agreement on redemption, and when the registered duration or the period for redemption has expired, if the whereabouts of those with whom the person entitled to register should jointly file the application for cancellation of registration cannot be ascertained even after conducting an investigation by a method specified by Ministry of Justice Order as one through which a reasonable inspection is found to have been conducted, the provisions of the same paragraph are applied by deeming that their whereabouts are unknown.
In the cases referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, if an order of nullification of right prescribed in Article 106, paragraph (1) of the Non-Contentious Case Procedures Act is made, the person entitled to register may, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 60, independently file an application for cancellation of the registration referred to in paragraph (1).
In the case prescribed in paragraph (1), if the person entitled to register has provided the information specified by Cabinet Order as information certifying the extinction of the claim secured by the registered statutory lien, pledge or mortgage, the person entitled to register may, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 60, independently file an application for cancellation of a registration of such security interest. In the case prescribed in the same paragraph, the same applies when twenty years have elapsed since the due date of the secured claim and money equivalent to the total of the amounts of the secured claim, interest thereon, and damage arising from default has been deposited.
