Registration is one of an important non-litigation matters handled by the court. Registration is as important as trial for the people as it is closed related to their lives. Examples are real property registration, commercial registration, ship registration, and registration of juristic persons. Real property registration is to show right and ownership of real property. Commercial registrations, such as, dissolution and liquidation of juristic persons, establishment of trusts, appointment of inspectors and liquidation of corporations are to make known to the public such items as specified under the Commercial Act, the Civil Act, etc.
Family registration
Family registration is to publish and authenticate identity of an individual. Family registration affairs are managed by the head of city, town or village. However, as family registration is administrative business of a judicial nature, the court has the supervisory power over such affairs. The court’s permission is required to change the name, establish a family, or correct family registration. In case of uncontested divorce by mutual agreement, confirmation by a judge or a judicial assistant official is required, and therefore, spouses who intend to divorce by agreement must appear together before the court to declare their intention to divorce.
Deposit
Deposit is a system for accomplishing certain legal purposes of law by depositing money, securities, or other articles in a state agency (the deposit office of a court) based on a cause specified by a statute. Such deposit system may be used where a debtor intends to pay a debt, but the creditor refuses to accept the payment or the creditor is unknown, where deposit is made to offer security to the adverse party for compensation for damages, or where deposit is intended for the custody of any other person’s property, etc
