Tenant Conciliation Law - Kosaku Choteiho

Japanese: 小作調停法 - こさくちょうていほう

This law was enacted (1924) as a measure against tenant disputes, which had intensified since the mid-Taisho period. When a dispute arose, the parties could apply for mediation at the district court, etc., and if a settlement was reached, it became binding on both parties, just like a settlement. Landlords welcomed the law, as it allowed them to resolve disputes with some concessions, but tenants opposed it from start to finish. It was abolished in 1951 following the land reforms that followed World War II.

Japanese:

大正中期以降激化する小作争議の対策として制定された法律（1924年）。争議が起こった場合，当事者は地方裁判所等に調停を申し立てることができ，調停が成立すれば和解と同じく，双方を拘束する効力が生じた。地主側は多少の譲歩で争議を解決できるとして歓迎したが，小作側は終始これに反対した。第２次大戦後の農地改革に伴い1951年廃止。
