Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System **第二項** 差押えを受けた債務者に対しその差押えの場所について更に動産執行の申立てがあつた場合においては、執行官は、まだ差し押さえていない動産があるときはこれを差し押さえ、差し押さえるべき動産がないときはその旨を明らかにして、その動産執行事件と先の動産執行事件とを併合しなければならない。仮差押えの執行を受けた債務者に対しその執行の場所について更に動産執行の申立てがあつたときも、同様とする。 art-125/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/civil-enforcement-act/art-125/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/354AC0000000004/art-125/par-2 If another petition for enforcement against movables is filed against an obligor against whom a seizure has already been effected in the location in question, the court enforcement officer must seize any movables that have yet to be seized if there are any, and if there are no movables to be seized, the officer will make this clear and consolidate the case of enforcement against movables with the earlier case of enforcement against movables. The same applies if another petition for enforcement against movables is filed against an obligor against whom a provisional seizure has already been effected in the location in question. Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System **第三項** 前項前段の規定により二個の動産執行事件が併合されたときは、後の事件において差し押さえられた動産は、併合の時に、先の事件において差し押さえられたものとみなし、後の事件の申立ては、配当要求の効力を生ずる。先の差押債権者が動産執行の申立てを取り下げたとき、又はその申立てに係る手続が停止され、若しくは取り消されたときは、先の事件において差し押さえられた動産は、併合の時に、後の事件のために差し押さえられたものとみなす。 art-125/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/civil-enforcement-act/art-125/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/354AC0000000004/art-125/par-3 When two cases of enforcement against movables have been consolidated pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, the movables that were seized in the later case are deemed to have been seized in the earlier case at the time of the consolidation, and the petition for the later case becomes effective as a distribution demand. If the earlier attaching obligee has withdrawn the petition for enforcement against movables or the procedure related to the petition has been stayed or revoked, the movables seized in the earlier case are deemed to have been seized for the later case at the time of the consolidation. Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System **第四項** 第二項後段の規定により仮差押執行事件と動産執行事件とが併合されたときは、仮差押えの執行がされた動産は、併合の時に、動産執行事件において差し押さえられたものとみなし、仮差押執行事件の申立ては、配当要求の効力を生ずる。差押債権者が動産執行の申立てを取り下げたとき、又はその申立てに係る手続が取り消されたときは、動産執行事件において差し押さえられた動産は、併合の時に、仮差押執行事件において仮差押えの執行がされたものとみなす。 art-125/par-4 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/civil-enforcement-act/art-125/par-4 · https://japanlaw.org/l/354AC0000000004/art-125/par-4 If a case involving a provisional seizure and a case involving enforcement against movables are consolidated pursuant to the provisions of the second sentence of paragraph (2), the movables against which the provisional seizure is effected are deemed to have been seized in the case involving enforcement against movables at the time of the consolidation, and the petition in the case involving the provisional seizure becomes effective as a distribution demand. If the attaching obligee has withdrawn the petition for enforcement against movables or the procedure initiated by the petition has been canceled, the movables seized in the case of the enforcement against movables are deemed to have undergone a provisional seizure in the case involving the provisional seizure at the time of the consolidation.
