metadata.value: The system of co-ownership in civil law affects various legal relationships, such as property
  partnerships and co-heirs. This article introduces the general rules of the co-ownership
  system in the Japanese Civil Code and explains how they are applied in harmony with the
  regulations concerning property partnerships and co-heirs. In particular, it deals with changes
  to regulations concerning partnership property and co-inherited property via a recent
  amendment of the law of obligations and law of inheritance. There is a debate about whether
  partnership property is shared jointly or collectively by the partners. This article, according
  to the basic numerus clausus principle in the Pandekten system, suggests that collective
  ownership should be stipulated in part on real rights and the premise that the provisions
  of partnership property under the Japanese Civil Code refer to regulations reflecting the
  collective binding of the German Civil Code. Despite the premise that co-inherited property is
  shared jointly by each co-heir, some conflicts have arisen regarding the disposition of shares of
  co-owned things and requests for refunds of deposits by partial heirs before a formal division
  of inheritance. The revised civil code established new provisions to resolve these issues.
  However, defining “joint ownership” in terms of statutory shares is taken as a basic rule while
  the specific portion of co-heirs has not been determined, as noted in the article, and it results
  in an unfair distribution of inherited property.
