Relative Salary - Aitaisumasshirei

Japanese: 相対済令 - あいたいすましれい
Relative Salary - Aitaisumasshirei

In the Edo period, this was a law that ordered that lawsuits over gold and silver loans, accounts receivable, etc., be resolved mutually (between the parties involved), stating that public authority would not intervene. It was to be distinguished from the Kien Order, which meant that the debt itself was to be extinguished. Eight Orders for Resolving Debts were issued between 1661 (Kanbun 1) and 1843 (Tenpo 14). However, most of these merely denied the right to sue for past debts, and only three laws in 1702 (Genroku 15), 1719 (Kyoho 4), and 1746 (Enkyo 3) explicitly ordered that the matter be resolved mutually. The Kyoho 4 Order was the only one that did not limit the scope of application, and moreover, did not recognize any right to sue not only for past debts, but also for debts that would arise in the future, but it was abolished in 1729 (Kyoho 14) due to financial irregularities and other reasons.

Japanese:

江戸時代、金銀貸借、売掛金などに伴う訴訟に公権力は関与しないとして、相対(当事者同士)で解決するよう命じた法令。債権そのものの消滅を意味する棄捐(きえん)令と区別される。相対済令は、1661年(寛文1)から1843年(天保14)に至るまで8回出されている。しかし、これらの多くは過去の債権に関する訴権を否定したにすぎず、明確に相対で済ませと命じているのは、1702年(元禄15)、1719年(享保4)、1746年(延享3)の3法令だけである。なかでも享保(きょうほう)4年令は、適用範囲に限定を設けず、しかも過去の債権のみならず、将来発生すべき債権についても、いっさいの訴権を認めないとした唯一のものであったが、1729年(享保14)金融不円滑などを理由に廃止された。
