### 第三百五十条の二十六
<sup>art-350-26 · https://japanlaw.org/en/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-350-26</sup>

    **第一項**  即決裁判手続の申立てを却下する決定（第三百五十条の二十二第三号又は第四号に掲げる場合に該当することを理由とするものを除く。）があつた事件について、当該決定後、証拠調べが行われることなく公訴が取り消された場合において、公訴の取消しによる公訴棄却の決定が確定したときは、第三百四十条の規定にかかわらず、同一事件について更に公訴を提起することができる。前条第一項第一号、第二号又は第四号のいずれかに該当すること（同号については、被告人が起訴状に記載された訴因について有罪である旨の陳述と相反するか又は実質的に異なつた供述をしたことにより同号に該当する場合に限る。）となつたことを理由として第三百五十条の二十二の決定が取り消された事件について、当該取消しの決定後、証拠調べが行われることなく公訴が取り消された場合において、公訴の取消しによる公訴棄却の決定が確定したときも、同様とする。
    <sup>art-350-26/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-350-26/par-1</sup>
    In a case in which a ruling has been rendered to dismiss a petition for expedited trial proceedings (except for the case in which the ruling is rendered on the grounds that it falls under the case set forth in Article 350-22, item (iii) or (iv)), if prosecution has been withdrawn without the examination of evidence after that ruling, and a ruling of dismissal of the prosecution based on withdrawal thereof becomes final and binding, prosecution for the same case may be instituted again notwithstanding the provisions of Article 340. The same applies in a case in which a ruling under Article 350-22 has been revoked on the grounds that it comes to fall under paragraph (1), item (i), (ii) or (iv) of the preceding Article (with regard to item (iv), only when it falls under the same item due to a statement made by the defendant, which is contrary to or substantially different from the statement that the defendant is guilty for the count written in the charging sheet), if prosecution has been withdrawn without the examination of evidence after the revocation of the ruling, and a ruling of dismissal of the prosecution based on withdrawal thereof becomes final and binding.
