Civil Conciliation

Why don't you use "the civil conciliation" as dispute solving method?

The civil conciliation deals with all legal disputes except for disputes related to family affairs cases and criminal cases.

In the conciliation proceedings, unlike the court proceedings, the conciliation committee composed of one judge and two or more conciliation committee members (or a single judge) hears both sides carefully, facilitates negotiations to reach an agreement between the parties, and adjusts the parties based on fair estimation.

The conciliation committee or a single judge aims to reach an agreement which both parties can accept, not forcing the parties to obey conciliation proposal against their will.

 The concilation system is a judicial ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) system established about 90 years ago.

  In the civil conciliation proceedings, the conciliation committee or a single jugde deals with disputes of:

  • a claim for compensation of damages in a traffic accident,
  • a claim for increase or decrease of rent for land or buildings,
  • a claim for fees for renewal of lease,
  • a claim for return of security deposit,
  • a trouble in case of leaving a rented house,
  • a trouble of working conditions,
  • a trouble of a dismissal of workers,
  • a claim for a retirement allowance,
  • a claim for wages,
