    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation with a slip corrected by this site — not the Ministry's text; the Ministry printed: "Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 47, paragraph (3), when a party files a petition for permission under the provisions of paragraph (1) or (2) of the Article with regard to a case for a provisional order prior to a ruling, the family court (or a high court in the case set forth in Article 105, paragraph (2)) may give notice to a person who is to be subject to adjudication in the case for a provisional order prior to a ruling, of the fact that the case is now pending before it, or may grant permission only when it finds it to be appropriate and only before it gives notice of a provisional order prior to a ruling." — https://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/en/laws/view/4512/tb</sup>
