Article 51Summons to Person Concerned with Case

第五十一条(事件の関係人の呼出し)

A family court may summon a person concerned with a case on a date for proceedings for adjudication of domestic relations.

家庭裁判所は、家事審判の手続の期日に事件の関係人を呼び出すことができる。

A person concerned with a case who is summoned must appear on a date for proceedings for adjudication of domestic relations; provided, however, that the person may have a representative appear on the person's behalf if there are unavoidable circumstances.

呼出しを受けた事件の関係人は、家事審判の手続の期日に出頭しなければならない。ただし、やむを得ない事由があるときは、代理人を出頭させることができる。

If the person concerned with the case set forth in the preceding paragraph does not appear without justifiable grounds, the family court punishes the person by a non-criminal fine of up to 50,000 yen.

前項の事件の関係人が正当な理由なく出頭しないときは、家庭裁判所は、五万円以下の過料に処する。
