Abstract
In a latch apparatus, a latch mechanism arranged at a vehicle body or a door, holds the door towards the vehicle body in a half closed state and a fully closed state. An open lever, a door opening action of which cancels the half closed state or the fully closed state of the door held by the latch mechanism, is arranged to be interlocked with the latch mechanism and to be able to swing. A first handle lever performs an opening action based on an opening operation of a first operation handle. A second handle lever performs an opening action based on an opening operation of a second operation handle. A cancel lever coupled to a closer apparatus that brings the door in the half closed state to the fully closed state, is caused to abut on the open lever to perform a canceling action, thereby disabling a drive of the closer apparatus.
