Points of law

When an act of a foreign state is not an act jure imperii but a private law act or act jure gestionis, and unless there is some special circumstance to the effect that the exercise of civil or administrative jurisdiction by Japanese courts runs the risk of infringing on the sovereignty of the foreign State, the court of Japan may make decisions in judicial proceedings contesting the legality of dispositions regarding an act of a foreign State.
