| Research Abstract |
Whereas the Japanese civil procedure law allows trial judges to exercise a degree of discretion, there must be some limitation for the discretion in order to ensure that it exercised in a due way. This study considered this problem by comparing the discretion of judges in the Japanese civil procedure with that in the German civil procedure. As a result of my consideration, it turned out that it is to be examined in the first place whether the judge is allowed to make a reasonable choice between comparative ones when he or she exercises a discretion under a particular circumstance, that the judge is, even when such choice is allowed, not entirely unlimited in making the choice, but the discretion of the judge is to be limited by higher ends of the law of the civil procedure and other important legal principles, and that the determination by the trial judge should be reviewed by the higher courts.
