Abstract
I have written this article on "Small Claims Court" system in the draft of new Japanese civil procedure law which was published by Ministry of Justice in Japan at the end of 1994. I have introduced and explained the contents of this draft. This system is drafted officially at first in Japan. According to my opinion the foundation of this system is very important especialy in order to realize small justice which has been neglected. But I have some critical opinions against the contents of this draft. I have explained these opinions of mine in this articles especially on the contents of judgement and the way of appeal against the judgement of first instance.
