This paper reviews and analyzes the U.S. cases and statutes on the issue of party autonomy in arbitration agreement. Arbitration agreement has been interpreted somewhat differently from general contracts because its legal characteristics are not purely contractual by nature. For example, some legal scholars insist that an arbitration contract is more about an agreement on a process of dispute resolution than a creation of rights and obligations to avoid litigation. Party autonomy was discussed in diverse legal perspectives including contract of adhesion, VKI principle, and separability of arbitration clause. These three legal perspectives are discussed to set the legal relationship between party autonomy and protection of consumers in consumer arbitration. In addition, it was discussed how legal defects in the formation of an arbitration contract can influence the party autonomy. The legal defects that were discussed to analyze the relationship between arbitration agreement and party autonomy included misrepresentation, fraud, mistake, duress, and undue influence.

Ob das Erbitten der Behandlung durch einen Dritten einen Behandlungsvertrag oder lediglich eine Gesch${\ddot{a}}$ftsf${\ddot{u}}$hrung ohne Auftrag darstellt, richtet sich nach dem allgemeinen Grundsatz der Auslegung der Willenserkl${\ddot{a}}$rung. Auch wenn ein Dritter f${\ddot{u}}$r eine andere Person die Behandlung erbittet, l${\ddot{a}}$sst sich dadurch kein zwingender R${\ddot{u}}$ckschluss ziehen, dass daraus eine vertragliche Pflicht auf Verg${\ddot{u}}$tung anhand der Behandlung an den Behandlungserbitter entsteht. Das Erbitten der Behandlung eines Dritten stellt n${\ddot{a}}$mlich weder einen Antrag dar, noch ensteht dadurch ein Rechtsgesch${\ddot{a}}$ft zwischen dem Behandlungerbitter und dem Behandelnden. Stellt das Erbitten der Behandlung durch den Dritten eben kein Rechtsgesch${\ddot{a}}$ft dar, handelt es sich um eine Behandlung ohne gesetzliche Pflichten. Dadurch ist f${\ddot{u}}$r den Behandelten eine Gesch${\ddot{a}}$ftsf${\ddot{u}}$hrung ohne Auftrag er${\ddot{o}}$ffnet. Wird das Erbitten der Behandlung als Antrag ausgelegt, ist dies ein Antrag eines echten oder unechten Vertrags zugunsten Dritter, oder der Behandlungserbitter hat als Vertreter des Patienten oder Unterhaltspflichtigen als Vertretende, einen Behandlungsvertrag abgeschlossen. Wenn der Vertragspartner die Tatsache kennt oder kennen musste, dass es sich um einen Vertreter handelt, ist die Vertretungshandlung wirksam.

한국 기업과 프랑스 기업 간에 한국기업이 프랑스기업으로부터 의약품의 임상자료 등에 관한 비밀정보 (Confidential information)를 받아서 한국식품의약품안전청에 의약품 제조허 가를 받기 위해 활용하는 과정에서 체결한 비밀유지 계약 (Secrecy Agreement)의 위반행위 여부의 분쟁이 발생하였다. 이 분쟁은 비밀유지계약 내의 중재조항에 의거하여 프랑스기업에 의해 프랑스 파리 소재 국제중재 판정부 (ICC Court Arbitral Tribunal) 에 회부되었고 한국기업이 응소하여 중재판정부에서 분쟁 사실들에 관한 양 당사자 회사들의 전문가들의 증언, 준비 서면들을 검토하여 비밀유지계약 각각의 조문의 해석을 통해 중재판정이 내려졌다. 이 중재판정은 ‘외국중재판정의 승인 및 집행에 관한 뉴욕협약’에 의거하여 중재판정 집행지국인 우리나라의 법원에서 집행판결을 거치게 되었다. 이때 한국법원에서는 뉴욕협약상의 집행거부 사유들에 관한 판단을 한 후 프랑스기업의 일부 승소의 집행판결을 내렸다. 본 사례연구의 시사점을 보면, 중재조항에 의거한 ICC 중재판정부의 심사절차는 각 나라 고유의 판례나 규정보다는, 중재인들의 건전한 상식에 근거하여 중재판정이 내려졌다는 것이다. 우리나라 법원 역시 중재인의 건전한 상식에 근거를 둔 중재판정의 세부적 내용에 대하여 중재권한, 국제적 공공질서 상의 심각한 문제점이 존재하지 않은 점을 고려하여 일부분을 제외하고는 외국중재판정을 그대로 집행함을 인용하는 판결을 내렸다는 점이다. 따라서, 한국기업들이 국제분쟁에 대비하기 위해서는 중재판정이 내려진 후 집행단계에서 중재판정 내용을 바꾸려는 노력을 하기보다는, 중재 절차 진행단계에서 한국 기업에게 객관적으로 입증할 수 있는 유리한 증거들을 중점적으로 적극 활용하여 중재인들의 건전한 상식에 바탕을 둔 중재판정을 유리한 방향으로 내리도록 유도하는 것이 더욱 바람직한 것이다.

It is a generalized way for the chartering business to fix the laytime bars except rarely adapting the customary despatch of the cargo work in port. The way of customary despatch is usually accepted by the owners in case the port facilities and other relevant infrastructures are in the satisfactory level for the cargo work whereas the laytime bars to be widely incorporated in the chaterparty for almost all occasions for owners and charterers to bind each other in loading and discharging cargo in port. The main purpose of establishing laytime bars on the charterparty is to secure the right and duty for both parties of the owners and the charterers, and furthermore to make the vessel despatched quickly from the port, whereby the costs incidental to the loading and discharging in port to be saved as much as possible. and the minimized costs in port will contribute to the profits in all parties involved in loading and discharging cargo. The conditions and terms on the laytime bars are expressed variously in their kinds according to the types of the charterparty to be used. The owners and charterers or the ship operators, however, seems not to be so accustomed in lawful understanding on these terms and conditions, and therefrom lots of disputes are noticed practically in the business field. As a result, this study is focused to render the owners and charterers rather clear understanding on their meanings and effects in legal aspects, and the various English Law Cases are referred in order to achieve the purpose of this study.

속력시운전에는 건조된 배의 추진성능이 선주와의 계약속도를 만족시키는가를 확인하는 Acceptance Trial 과, 건조된 배의 추진성능이 모형시험 등에 의한 추정 결과와 맞는가를 확 인하고 다음 배의 설계에 참고하기 위한Performance Trial로 크게 나눌 수 있다. Acceptance Trial로서의 실선시운전은 새로 배를 만들어 선주에게 인도하기 위한 필수의 과정이며, 이 중 에서 저항추진 성능을 검증하기 위한 속력시운전은 가장 중요한 항목중의 하나이다. 선발 조선 국들에서는 실선시운전 및 해석방안을 꾸준히 연구하여 왔고, 표준 수행방안과 표준 해석방안도 이미 확정한 후 여러차례 보완한바 있다. 조선의 역사가 깊지 못한 우리는 이에 대한 깊이 있는 연구는 물론, 이렇다할 시운전 표준수행방안이나 표준해석방법 조차 제시하지 못하고 있는 실 정이다. 특히 국내 조선업계의 실선시운전 해역은 일본은 물론 유럽의 시운전해영들 보다도 해상 상태가 거칠어서 이에 대한 보정방법 개발이 절실히 요망되고 있다. 본 고에서는 이제까지 선진 조선국에서 수행된 중요한 실선속력시운전 내용을 훑어보고, 각국의 표준수행방안을 비교해 보고, 해석방법들의 내용을 알아 본 후, 앞으로의 발전 방향을 모색해 보았다.

In the event of a housing sale guarantee accident, the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation shall be responsible for the guarantee by refunding the moving-in money unless there are special circumstances to the contractor. The Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation may refuse to perform the refund based on the Terms and Conditions Regulations Act, but disputes continue to arise between interested parties in this regard. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the problems and improvement measures for legal issues related to the implementation of the refund. First, the issue of guarantee effectiveness and scope of guarantee under the Terms and Conditions Regulation Act. Second, the problem of guarantee contract for conditional third parties of Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation. Third, the problem of the attitude of the existing precedents of the Supreme Court was examined. As a result of reviewing these legal issues, it was confirmed that the interpretation of terms and conditions according to the implementation of the refund is being interpreted in accordance with the principle of good faith, but according to individual cases, precedents can be divided into positive and negative judgments. In addition, despite the fact that the housing pre-sale guarantee is a guarantee contract for a conditional third party, it was confirmed that the buyer suffered damages in good faith through active disputes with the interested parties. Accordingly, the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation proposed an improvement plan for roles and cooperation items to meet the purpose of establishment for the stability of the customer's housing.

Our article investigates the risk implication of ownership structure in life insurance companies. We set up a model to identify the priority structure of policyholder's and shareholder's cashflow claims, and to derive its implications. Current literature on this issue has focused on the agency paradigm or the risk-sharing efficiency. Fama and Jensen(1983a, 1983b) and Mayers and Smith(1981, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1994) argue that the survival of both the corporate and the mutual form of organization is due in part to the relative efficiencies in controlling agency problems. With regard to insurance business, agency problems arise because of the three functions inherent in the organizations:manager, risk-bearer(owner), and policyholder. Stock insurers are characterized by the potentially complete separation of all three functions while mutual insurers merger the policyholder with the ownership function. Doherty and Dionne(1993) and Doherty(1991) concentrate their analysis on differences in the efficiency of risk sharing between participating and non-participating policies. They argue that when the undiversifiable risk has higher portion in business risk, combining policy and equity claims into a single package is a more efficient risk-sharing contract than a simple prepaid risk-transfer. Among various methods for assembling the policy/equity package, Doherty and Dionne(1993) and Doherty(1991) suggest that policy/equity package offered by the mutual is the most efficient risk-sharing arrangement. There has been a controversy on the property of participating policies sold by life insurance corporations in Korea. Some scholars argue that participating policyholders of Korean life insurance companies have shared the cashflow risk with shareholders. They emphasize that insurance firms have used dividend reserves to supplement for equity deficits. Thus, they argue that the economic entities of Korean life insurance companies are mutual companies though their legal entities are corporations. Our article explicitly sets up each stakeholder's cashflow claim in stock and mutual insurers, and thus identify risk differences in shareholder and policyholder. Using our model, we could derive direct implications on the controversy. Our model shows that life insurance companies would sell participating policies since policyholders would have the incentive to share the risk inherent in their primary claims with equityholders. And there exists a fundamental difference in shareholder's risk and equityholder's.

해상보험계약에서는 실무상 영국법 준거약관을 포함하고 있는 영국의 해상보험증권 및 협회약관을 사용하고 있으며, 이에 따라 관련문제가 발생하면 영국법 및 우리나라 법이 적용되게 된다. 이 경우 영국법은 외국법법률설에 따라 영국법도 법률이므로 법원은 직권으로 영국법을 조사하여 적용하여야 한다. 영국법이 적용되는 경우 영국법상 법률개념을 어떻게 이해하고 확정하여야 할 것인지가 문제가 되며, 따라서 그러한 법률개념은 영국에서 이루어졌던 논의 및 영국법 질서 전체와 관련하여 해석하고 확정되어야 한다.

한국의 옵션시장은 1997년 7월 7일부터 시작되었다. 이후로 시장 규모는 가파르게 성장하였으며 최근에는 하루 평균 거래대금이 1조원에 이른다. 시장을 예측하는 것은 불가능하다. 하지만 통계적 특성을 이용하면 지속적인 수익을 얻을 수 있다. 지수선물의 미결제약정은 장시작 시간인 9시부터 증가하기 시작하여 정오 근방에 최대 약 4000 계약 너머까지 증가하고, 다시 하락하기 시작하여 장 종료 시간인 15시에는 장시작시의 미결재약정으로 환원되는 특성이 있다. 이러한 특성을 변동성과 연관지어 해석하고 시간기반의 간단한 전략을 적용하면 하루에 약 1.07%의 수익을 얻을 수 있다. 이 때 8번의 거래가 발생하고 매매수수료를 제외하고 순이익을 얻기 위해서는 수수료가 저렴한 증권사를 찾아야 한다. 미결제약정의 특징을 변동성으로 해석할 수도 있지만 본 논문에서는 새로운 방식인 변동속도로 해석한다. 옵션의 가격은 내재가치와 시간가치로 이루어진다. 통계적으로 지수가 하락하는 속도가 상승하는 속도보다 빠르므로, 풋옵션의 변동성은 콜옵션의 변동성보다 통계적으로 크다. 이러한 속도 특성을 활용하면 0.15%에 이르는 매매 수수료를 제외하더라도 하루에 약 1.4%의 수익을 얻을 수 있다.

The Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods(CISG) endeavors to increase international trade through the creation of a uniform law of international sales. The CISG applies to contracts of sale of goods between parties whose places of business are in different States. If a party has more than one place of business, the place of business if that which has the closest relationship to the contract and its performance. Despite the importance of a definition for 'place of business,' the CISG does not provide one. Lack of a definition of 'place of business' may cause problems for parties trying to determine whether the CISG applies to their contract. Also Contracting parties can opt out of the CISG. But the CISG does not state whether the parties must expressly exclude the CISG's application to a transaction or whether they might do so by implication. we need to consider how effectively opt out of the CISG. Under U.S. law, the CISG is considered to be a self-executing treaty. So the CISG's provisions apply directly as substantive sales law to contracts for the international sale of goods. Despite the CISG's political and economic significance to U.S., U.S. Courts have overlooked the terms of the CISG. This article considered how to the CISG was recognized, interpreted and applied by the U.S. Courts in related cases.
