The same applies if an application for supporting intervention is withdrawn or if an objection to supporting intervention is withdrawn. Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System **第二項** 第六十一条から第六十六条まで及び第七十一条第八項の規定は前項の申立てについての決定について、同条第二項の規定は前項の申立てについて、同条第三項及び第四項の規定は前項の申立てに関する裁判所書記官の処分について、同条第五項から第八項までの規定はその処分に対する異議の申立てについて、それぞれ準用する。この場合において、同条第二項中「訴訟費用の負担の裁判が確定した」とあるのは、「訴訟が完結した」と読み替えるものとする。 art-73/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/code-of-civil-procedure/art-73/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/408AC0000000109/art-73/par-2 The provisions of Articles 61 through 66 and Article 71, paragraph (8) apply mutatis mutandis to a ruling on a petition under the preceding paragraph; the provisions of Article 71, paragraph (2) apply mutatis mutandis to a petition under the preceding paragraph; the provisions of Article 71, paragraphs (3) and (4) apply mutatis mutandis to a disposition rendered by the court clerk on a petition under the preceding paragraph; and the provisions of Article 71, paragraphs (5) through (8) apply mutatis mutandis to an objection to such a disposition. In such a case, the term "from the day when the judicial decision on the bearing of costs becomes final and binding" in Article 71, paragraph (2) is deemed to be replaced with "from the day when the litigation is concluded".
