Research Abstract	Japan should introduce a new collective compensation trust fund scheme to fill the gap between the traditional tort litigation and the redress money payment programs established by special laws. To achieve the goal some basic conditions, such as qualified trustee candidates, experienced claims resolution agencies and stable taxation rules for the compensation trusts, should be built up.
