  • In this paper, the Judgment 2007DA76290 of the Korean Supreme Court was analysed in two points of the legal theory and litigation. The judgment arouses some issues of medical malpractice liability. They includes the concept of the complications and permanent lesion and the difference between them, some problems in a judge's applying the requirements for the physician's tort liability to the medical malpractice situations, the theory of obligation de moyens related with the burden of proof of the negligent conduct for a physician's liability for misperformance of contract, the influence of a patient's physical conditions on the physician's liability, the breach of duty to disclose in selecting the safer one of the treatment methods bringing about the complications or leaving the permanent lesion and so on. In the situations of the case referred to above, the plaintiff should have tried to establish that a reasonable physician in the specific situation of the case would have substituted the safer method of treatment for the method in the case. If the plaintiff had succeeded in establishing it, he or she could have recovered even the physical harm resulting from the permanent lesion brought about by the complications of the specific treatment in the case. The plaintiff failed to do so and recovered only the emotional distress which the patient suffered owing to the physician's breach of the duty to disclose. Therefore the legal malpractice of the counsel might be found in this case.

  • A contract for the shipbuilding is usually a complicated and involves statement of rights, obligations and responsibilities which each party agrees vis-a vis the other. The ultimate purpose of the contract is the sale and transfer of the finished ship by the builder to the buyer. Contracts for the construction and sale of ships are categorized as contracts for the sale of goods under English, United States, Germany and some countries law. On the other hand, The shipbuilding contract may be classified, not as a contract of sale but as a contract for work and materials under Korea, Japan and some countries law. Especially, most of countries are now well settled with regard to liability of a manufacturer in tort for physical injury and on the other for pure economic loss to remote owners of chattels. Where there is either a breach of contractual warranty or an implied warranty, there may be admiralty jurisdiction, depending once again on the situs of the event and its relationship to traditional maritime activity. Contract principles will be applied to the first type of warranty and tort principles will be applied to the second. First of all, this thesis is dealt with the contents of contract under English Law. Secondly, this thesis is analysed into the liability of shipbuilder in Products Liability under English, American and Korean Law comparisons. In conclusion, the author tries to give some suggestions as countermeasures of Products Liability to the shipbuilder in Korea.

  • In medical malpractice lawsuits, negligence is generally defined as conduct that is culpable because it falls short of what a reasonable person would do to protect another individual from a foreseeable risks of harm. Thus, the essence of negligence is a breach of obligations to be attentive, and the breach of obligations to be is negligence. However, whether negligence is or not depends on time, place, litigation forms and the judge since the meaning of negligence is wavering on the basis of abstract and normative judgment. In this thesis, what is medical negligence, a breach of obligations of attention for a doctor in medical malpractice lawsuits, would be it further enacted that doctors have the responsibility to protect the patients as a subordinate duty due to a principle of faith and sincerity besides the main duty for medical contract-performance since the suit is a litigation form to be based on responsibilities of experts, especially doctors, though having factors that are non-contractual as a trait for medical treatment. Further on the concept, when the plaintiff asserts and proves a specific fact from the recent moderation of the burden of proof about medical malpractices, whether the court should find a true bill in medical malpractice actually or not has been discussed.

  • 본 연구는 융 복합 시대에 조직에서 빈번히 발생하는 갈등관리 방안을 다루며, 특히 리더 감독 유형에 따른 종업원의 저항을 밝히고자 한다. 이를 위해, 리더 감독 유형을 지원적 리더와 통제적 리더로 분류하였으며, 갈등의 결과로써 나타나는 종업원 저항행위도 기능적 저항과 역기능적 저항으로 분류하였다. 또한, 심리적 계약위반을 정서와 인지 차원으로 구분하여, 매개효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지원적 리더 행위는 조직 내에서 발생하는 갈등의 결과를 기능적 저항으로 이끌어 내며, 반면에 통제적 리더 행위는 갈등의 결과를 역기능적 저항으로 발생시킨다. 둘째, 지원적 리더 행위는 종업원에게 정서차원의 심리적 계약 위반을 덜 인식하게 하지만, 통제적 리더는 심리적 계약 위반을 인식하게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지원적 리더는 조직 내의 갈등을 긍정적인 방향으로 해결하여, 종업원으로 하여금 조직내 갈등을 인식하지 못하게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 이론적 실무적으로 기여하는 바가 클 것으로 사료된다.

  • 방송 제작산업의 불공정 거래관행은 계약과 제작관행이 주원인이다. 불공정 거래 행위 발생 원인은 계약 체결 시점, 계약 내용의 미비, 계약 내용의 불이행 문제로 분류할 수 있다. 특히 계약 내용의 불이행은 제작 업계의 관행이 주요한 원인이다. 따라서 불공정 거래 관행 개선을 위해서는 계약 체계 정립을 통해 제작 관행의 개선을 유도하여야 한다. 먼저 방송 산업의 특성상 본계약 이전에 예약을 체결하는 것이 바람직하다. 집필계약, 출연계약, 고용계약의 근본이 되는 표준제작계약서를 제정하여 계약 관계를 통해 방송제작산업이 공정하고 체계적으로 추동될 수 있는 토대를 마련하는 것이 시급하다. 표준제작계약서에는 방송사에서 파견한 인력이 지켜야 할 의무 조항, 포맷을 개발한 제작사의 권리 인정, 제작의 자율성 범위 규정 등의 내용이 명기되어야 한다. 또한 방송법 내에 금지조항을 신설하여 불공정 거래 발생 원인을 제한하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • This paper focuses on two recent legislative developments in electronic commerce: the "Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act" ("UCITA") of USA and the "preliminary draft convention on the use of data message in [international trade] [the context of international contracts]" ("preliminary draft Convention") of UNCITRAL. UCITA provides rules contracts for computer information transactions. UCITA supplies modified contract formation rules adapted to permit and to facilitate electronic contracting. UCITA also adjusts commonly recognized warranties as appropriate for computer information transactions; for example, to recognize the international context in connection with protection against infringement and misappropriation, and First Amendment considerations involved with informational content. Furthermore, UCITA adapts traditional rules as to what is acceptable performance to the context of computer information transactions, including providing rules for the protection of the parties concerning the electronic regulation of performance to clarify that the appropriate general rule is one of material breach with respect to cancellation (rather than so-called perfect tender). UCITA also supplies guidance in the case of certain specialized types of contracts, e.g., access contracts and for termination of contracts. While for the most part carrying over the familiar rules of Article 2 concerning breach when appropriate in the context of the tangible medium on which the information is fixed, but also adapting common law rules and rules from Article 2 on waiver, cure, assurance and anticipatory breach to the context of computer information transactions, UCITA provides a remedy structure somewhat modeled on that of Article 2 but adapted in significant respects to the different context of a computer information transaction. For example, UCITA contains very important limitations on the generally recognized common law right of self-help as applicable in the electronic context. The UNCITRAL's preliminary draft Convention applies to the use of data messages in connection with an existing or contemplated contract between parties whose places of business are in different States. Nothing in the Convention affects the application of any rule of law that may require the parties to disclose their identities, places of business or other information, or relieves a party from the legal consequences of making inaccurate or false statements in that regard. Likewise, nothing in the Convention requires a contract or any other communication, declaration, demand, notice or request that the parties are required to make or choose to make in connection with an existing or contemplated contract to be made or evidenced in any particular form. Under the Convention, a communication, declaration, demand, notice or request that the parties are required to make or choose to make in connection with an existing or contemplated contract, including an offer and the acceptance of an offer, is conveyed by means of data messages. Also, the Convention provides for use of automated information systems for contract formation: a contract formed by the interaction of an automated information system and a person, or by the interaction of automated information systems, shall not be denied on the sole ground that no person reviewed each of the individual actions carried out by such systems or the resulting agreement. Further, the Convention provides that, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, a contract concluded by a person that accesses an automated information system of another party has no legal effect and is not enforceable if the person made an error in a data message and (a) the automated information system did not provide the person with an opportunity to prevent or correct the error; (b) the person notifies the other party of the error as soon as practicable when the person making the error learns of it and indicates that he or she made an error in the data message; (c) The person takes reasonable steps, including steps that conform to the other party's instructions, to return the goods or services received, if any, as a result of the error or, if instructed to do so, to destroy such goods or services.

  • Article 77 sets forth the principle of prevention applied in several legal systems. Under this principle the party threatened by ooss as a consequence of a breach of contract by the other party is not permitted to await passively incurrence of the loss and then sue for damages. He is obliged to take adequate preventive measures to mitigate his loss. If the injured party abstains from taking such excessive measures he will not be considered to have failed to mitigate the loss under Article 77. The sanction provided in Article 77 against a party who fails to mitigate his loss only enables the other party to claim reduction in the damages. The reduction in damages under Article 77 is equal to the amount by which the loss should have been mitigated if the injured party had taken reasonable measures to avert or to lessen it. The aim of Article 77 is to encourage mitigation of the loss. The duty to mitigate the loss applies not only to a breach of contract in respect of an obligation whose performance is currently due. but also to an anticipatory breach of contract under Article 71. Article 85 contemplates that the buyer is in delay in fulfilling the latter obligation, or else that he fails to pay the price when payment is to be made concurrently with delivery of the goods by the seller. In both these situations of default, the seller who is either in possession of the goods or otherwise able to control their disposition must take measures, reasonable in the circumstances, to preserve them. The right of retention of the goods y the seller exists until he is reimbursed by the other party for the reasonable expenses incurred. Article 87 and Article 88 of the Convention grant different rights to the party obligated to take steps to preserve the goods; Article 87 allows him to deposit them in the warehouse of a third person, and Article 88 to sell them by whatever means appropriate. A difference exists between paragraph Article 88 (1) which grants the right to sell, and paragraph (2) which imposes the duty to take reasonable measures to sell the goods.

  • 대상사안에서 한국인은 유럽항공사(에어프랑스)의 초과예약으로 인하여 파리에서 서울행 항공기의 탑승이 거절되었다. 대상사안에서는 국제사법 시행 이후 국제항공운송계약의 준거법, 항공권의 초과예약으로 인한 탑승거절에 대하여 항공사가 부담하는 민사책임 등이 문제되었다. 운송계약이나 소비자의 상거소지 외에서 용역이 제공되는 계약이라고 하더라도 소비자계약에 해당하는 경우에는 소비자의 상대방이 계약체결에 앞서 그 국가에서 광고에 의한 거래의 권유 등 직업 또는 영업활동을 행하거나 그 국가외의 지역에서 그 국가로 광고에 의한 거래의 권유 등 직업 또는 영업활동을 행하고, 소비자가 그 국가에서 계약체결에 필요한 행위를 한 경우나, 소비자의 상대방이 그 국가에서 소비자의 주문을 받은 경우 등에는, 당사자가 준거법을 선택하지 아니하였더라도 국제사법 제27조 제2항이 적용되어 소비자의 상거소지법이 준거법이 된다(대법원 2014. 8. 28. 선고 2013다8410 판결). 이에 따르면, 대상사안에서 문제가 된 국제항공여객운송계약도 소비자계약에 해당하므로, 준거법은 국제사법 제27조 제2항에 의하여 상거소지법인 대한민국 법이 된다. 이는 로마협약(80/934/EEC) 제5조 제4항에서 운송계약이나 소비자에 대한 용역이 소비자가 상거소를 가지는 국가 이외의 장소에서 배타적으로 제공되어야 하는 용역의 제공에 관한 계약에 대하여는 소비자의 상거소지법의 적용을 배제하는 것과 반대견해로, 외국항공사를 이용하여 국제여행을 다녀오는 내국인이 점차 증가하고 있는 상황에서 내국인 보호에 커다란 이정표가 될 수 있다. 다음으로 초과예약의 관행을 긍정한다 하더라도, 항공사는 초과예약으로 인하여 탑승이 거절된 승객에게 적절한 대체항공편을 제공하여야 하고, 만약 그러한 의무를 이행하지 아니한 경우에는 민법상 채무불이행 책임을 부담한다고 판시하여, 항공사의 민사책임을 명확히 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

  • In international sales of goods, the buyer must pay the price for the goods as required by the contract and CISG, The buyer's this obligation includes taking such steps and complying with such formalities as may be required under the contract, which includes providing the seller with relevant letter of credit through the issuing bank. Where the parties have not stipulated the time limit within which the credit should be opened, but there is an agreed date or period for shipment, the time limit for the L/C opening should be calculated back from the agreed date of shipment or the first date of shipment, while, in addition, the buyer should open the L/C sufficiently earlier than the shipment date in order for the seller to be able to know the L/C's opening before beginning to ship the goods. The L/C provided the buyer should conform to the contract of sale. Therefore, for example, when an unconfirmed L/C is provided violating the agreement or the L/C opened states that, under a FOB contract, a "freght prepaid" bill of lading shall be presented as a required document of the L/C, the buyer has failed to perform his obligation. If the buyer fails to perform his obligations to provide the letter of credit, the seller may require the buyer to perform that obligation; may fix an additional period of time of reasonable length for performance of the obligation; or, the seller may declare the contract avoided, if the failure amounts to a fundamental breach of contract, or if the buyer does not, within the additional period of time fixed by the seller, perform the obligation; and the seller claim damages. However, when a relevant L/C has been issued for the seller, as a rule, he cannot ask directly for the buyer to pay the price before avail himself of the L/C first.
