<sup>art-9 · https://japanlaw.org/en/code-of-civil-procedure/art-9 · https://japanlaw.org/l/408AC0000000109/art-9</sup>

    **第一項**  一の訴えで数個の請求をする場合には、その価額を合算したものを訴訟の目的の価額とする。ただし、その訴えで主張する利益が各請求について共通である場合におけるその各請求については、この限りでない。

    If multiple claims are involved in a single action, the total value of the claims is the value of the subject matter of litigation; provided, however, that this does not apply to each claim if the interest alleged in the action is common to all claims.
