A party to a contract is bound to perform its contractual duties. But outside events may make performance impossible, physically or legally. In such a situation a party may wish to plead "force majeure" as an excuse for failure to perform. The laws of most countries have provisions which dealt with force majeure. These provisions, however, vary from country to country and may not meet the parties' requirement in international contracts. Therefore, parties to international contracts are frequently in need of contract clauses on force majeure. There are many force majeure clauses in standard forms or individually negotiated. The ICC has drawn up provisions which aim at providing assistance for parties when they are making contracts. The force majeure clause grants relief from contractual sanctions and includes provisions for suspension and termination of contract. The purpose of this study is to examine "ICC Force Majeure Clause 2003" in the international sales contract. For this purpose, firstly this study deals with the major contents of the ICC Force Majeure Clause 1985 and 2003. Secondly this study considers the related provisions under CISG, PICC, PECL and the force majeure clause in Model International Sale Contract. Thirdly this study compares ICC Force Majeure Clause 2003 with the relative provisions under CISG, PICC, PECL and the force majeure clause in Model International Sale Contract. It should be noted that the parties often need to adapt the content of this clause so as to take account of the particular circumstances of the individual contract. This paper contributes to help the parties to a contract to draft the meaningful "Force Majeure Clause" containing more precise and elaborate provisions.

UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts(PICC) was published in 1994. PICC has been functioned as a guideline of international commercial contracts, an applicable law to govern a contract by the agreement of the parties to a contract, general principles of law and lex mercatoria. In addition, PICC has a role of interpreting or supplementing international uniform law instruments as well as domestic laws, and also has served as a model for national and international legislations. PICC has been accepted as a authoritative source of knowledge of international trade usages of international commercial contracts to the arbitral tribunal rather than domestic court because it excluded the characteristics of hard law at the drafting stage. This article dealt with the rule on gross disparity of validity which fall outside the scope of UN Convention on Contract for the International Sale of Goods(CISG), which has obtained a leading legal position of uniform law in international sales of good. In other words, PICC suggests a series of meaningful solutions to the issue of gross disparity of contract which is the most complicated among legal disputes occurring during the process of conclusion of contact and also extremely different and diverse between legal systems. This article covered the issue of gross disparity of contract at the conclusion of contact and suggested the legal basis of several rules related to the gross disparity by analysing gross disparity rule of PICC. Furthermore, this article suggested legal check points or implication as well as interpretation and evaluation on doctrine of laesio enormis and undue influence or unconscionability. This article also dealt with a comparative analysis with Principles of European Contract Law(PECL) and Common European Sales Law(CESL) which have important legal positions in the area of international commercial contract as well as in terms of close relationship to PICC by linking with recent court or arbitral tribunal rulings.

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.

Globalization of business activities and the market is making intern ational movement of capital much freer. Therefore the introduction of global standard is inevitable. Each and every country has had its own standard which restrain free exchange and cause misunderstanding and conflict between countries. A country or a company which is not capable of meeting the global standard can not be accepted in the global market. Consequently, it will eventually be left behind. It is right to say that countries and companies should accept the global standard and abide by it to survive in the competitive global market. The following preface which was introduced in the international conference co_organised by BAC, FTCTC and Tsinghua University in May, 2004 shows a timely movement for the globalization of construction business. *B A C, Beijing Arbitration Commission *FTCTC, The FIDIC-Tsinghua-CNAEC Training Center *CNAEC, China National Association of Engineering Consultants Introduction, As arbitration becomes more and more popular in the ways of alternative disputes resolution all over the world, the BAC is devoted to promoting international arbitration in China. As FIDIC contracts constitute an accepted point of reference for international construction contract, the BAC, characteristic of construction projects, is willing to facilitate the FIDIC contracts as the referred construction contracts in China. In order to carry out its purposes, the BAC, together with FTCTC is going to convene for discussion of dispute resolution and arbitration of international construction projects. FIDIC, construction contract management guide, explains arbitration as the ultimate dispute resolution method. The detail of FIDIC will be suggested in this essay.

There are situations in e-commerce that are altogether new and to which the existing rules cannot apply. The uncertainty and business risk is too high for trading partners to deal with certainty. Therefore existing law must be changed to e-commerce law so that it provides certainty and enforceability in the e-commerce. Legal rules applying to the commerce and international commerce, in particular, contracts, proper law, jurisdiction and so on, have improved with time and experience. It has been found that the problems arising in the context of e-contracting were due to the absence of experience in electronic contracting and an absence of knowledge on how best to solve the problems. Thus, UNCITRAL Working Group on Electronic Commerce held an extensive discussion on issues related to electronic contracting and prepared and revised the Preliminary Draft Convention on International Contracts Concluded or Evidenced by Data Message from the thirty-ninth session in 2002 and prepared the Draft Convention from forty-first session which applies to international contracts concluded or evidenced by means of data messages. An electronic contract is concluded when the acceptance of an offer becomes effective, and an offer becomes effective when it is received by the offeree, and an acceptance of an offer becomes effective when the indication of assent is received by the offeror according to this Convention. Electronic contract may be concluded by the interaction of an automated computer system and natural person or by the interaction of automated computer systems, and a contract formed by a natural person that accesses an automated computer system of another person has no legal effect in case the neutral person made a material error in a data message. The purpose of this paper is to raise the understanding of the Convention on the Electronic Contracting by studying the contents of Draft Convention on Electronic Contracting and comparing Draft Convention with preliminary Draft Convention and finding the difference, characteristics and problem.

1997년 '건설산업기본법'의 개정으로 CM방식이 도입 된지 10년이 지났고, 관련 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존연구에서의 CM방식 적용에 대한 현황 분석은 공공부문에 한정되어 있으며, 활성화 여부를 판단하는 근거 또한 제한적인 자료를 활용하고 있는 것으로 판단되어 2003년부터 실시된 CM능력평가공시자료를 토대로 국내 CM시장 현황을 건수/금액 측면에서 비교, 분석하였다. 국내 건설시장은 2002년 이후 매년 발주건수가 감소하고 있으나 발주금액은 늘어나고 있으며, CM시장은 계약건수, 계약금액 모두 과거에 비해 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 계약건수 점유율 측면에서 민간, 공공부문 모두 활성화 되고 있었으나, 계약금액 점유율 측면에서는 활성화 정도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 국내 경제성장과 건설시장의 성장에 비해 CM시장의 성장이 더 크게 나타났고, 이는 CM방식이 활성화되고 있다고 판단할 수 있을 것이다.

Financial difficulties and claims frequently stop construction works and cause subsequent contract cancellations. However, as the criteria to assess costs have not been established, many cases of legal disputes over the assessment of cancellation costs are taking place and the concerned parties are suffering the loss of time and money. Therefore, the present research aimed at developing a rational and systematic model of cancellation cost assessment following the cancellation of contracts. The research was carried out in the following methods and scopes. 1 ) The research was focused on the assessment of fair cancellation costs from constructors' side for contracts cancelled by any causes for which the owners have liability. 2) To obtain basic materials about cancellation cost assessment methods, contracts, claims, contract cancellations and construction-related laws at home and abroad were examined. 3) A cost assessment model was developed for systematization and efficient operation of cancellation cost assessment, and the reliability and efficiency of the proposed model was verified through a case study. The conclusions drawn from the research are as follows. The importance of the cancellation cost assessment model was confirmed as, using the cancellation cost assessment model, direct cancellation cost and indirect cancellation cost could be assessed systematically, the number of disputable items could be reduced because reasonable evidences of actual spending were presented, and the loss of constructors could be minimized because systematic and rational cost assessment became possible for many disputable cases of indirect cancellation cost, which the constructors had been unable to prove so far though having spent.

본 연구는 중소기업퇴직연금제도가 가입자들에게 보증이율(최소수익률)을 제공할 경우 사전에 적립해야 하는 보증준비금 수준을 산출하여 제시하였다. 보증준비금을 산출하기 위한 방법론으로 본 연구는 변액연금보험의 보증준비금 산출 방법론을 적용하였다. 보증준비금 산출을 위해 2010년부터 2018년까지의 3대 연기금의 자산운용 평균 수익률을 기금형 제도의 목표수익률로 설정하였으며, 보증이율은 0%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%를 각각 적용하여 시나리오 별로 요구되는 보증준비금을 산출하였다. 주요 결과로 첫째, 제도 도입기간이 길어질수록 초기 설정한 보증이율에 따른 보증준비금 간의 차이는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 제도가 성숙함에 따라 적립금이 부족할 가능성은 체감하였다. 결론적으로 보증이율투자전략에 내제된 수익-위험의 관계는 장기적으로 보수적 균형을 이루어야 함을 의미한다.

이더리움 토큰 스마트 계약의 표준 API인 ERC-20은 지갑이나 분산 거래소같은 응용 프로그램들에서 호환성을 보장하기 위해 도입되었다. 그러나 API의 동작에 대한 엄밀한 기능 명세와 표준 적합성 리뷰 도구는 지원되고 있지 않아 호환성 취약점 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이더리움 블록체인의 ERC-20 토큰 스마트 계약 프로그램들의 관례상 표준에 부합하는지 검사하는 새로운 리뷰 절차와 이를 지원하는 도구를 제안하였다. 기존 이더리움 블록체인 시장 상위 100개의 토큰 스마트 계약 프로그램들을 ERC-20 API 기능 동작면에서 분석한 지식을 바탕으로 관례상 표준을 명시적으로 정의하였고, 이렇게 정의된 관례상 표준으로 새로운 ERC-20 스마트 계약 프로그램을 체계적으로 리뷰할 수 있는 방법을 설계할 수 있었다. 이 리뷰 방법을 지원하는 도구를 개발하고 벤치마크 프로그램에 대해 실험 평가하였다.
