    <sup>art-117/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/civil-enforcement-act/art-117/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/354AC0000000004/art-117/par-1</sup>
    If a document stated in Article 39, paragraph (1), item (vii) or (viii) has been submitted regarding the claim of an attaching obligee, and if, before any purchase offer, the obligor provides a guarantee equivalent to the total amount of the claims and enforcement costs of the attaching obligee and any obligees that have filed a demand for distribution by the time the obligor provides the guarantee (or by the deadline for a distribution demand, if the obligor is providing the guarantee after that deadline), the enforcement court, upon petition, must cancel the proceedings for the compulsory auction, other than proceedings for distribution or payment.

    **第二項**  前項に規定する文書の提出による執行停止がその効力を失つたときは、執行裁判所は、同項の規定により提供された保証について、同項の債権者のために配当等を実施しなければならない。この場合において、執行裁判所は、保証の提供として供託された有価証券を取り戻すことができる。
