Article 17Tort

第十七条(不法行為)

The formation and effect of a claim arising from a tort is governed by the law of the place where the result of the wrongful act occurred; provided, however, that if the occurrence of the result at the relevant place was ordinarily unforeseeable, the law of the place where the wrongful act was committed governs.

不法行為によって生ずる債権の成立及び効力は、加害行為の結果が発生した地の法による。ただし、その地における結果の発生が通常予見することのできないものであったときは、加害行為が行われた地の法による。
