This article attempts to describe and analyze the rules on the service provider's duty to provide his service in conformity with the contract under the Draft Common Frame of Reference (here-in-after DCFR), which are applied to construction, storage, design and factual information contracts. It categorizes such rules in accordance with the requirements of conformity with the contract, the time when the service provided must be in conformity with the contract, and the exemptions of the service provider's duty. On the basis of such categorization, it examines the rules on the service provider's duty in each type of service contract under the DCFR. By doing so, it seeks to figure out how the members of EU compromised on the various issues of the service provider's duty under the DCFR which is regarded as the first uniformed legislation in the area of the service contract. This may provide some guidance to the legislators of domestic law for their amendment or interpretation of their laws. In addition to them, this article also seeks to point out problems in terms of their interpretations and gaps in their rules to cover various aspects of non-conformity and put forward some solutions for such problems and gaps.

i) Das deutsche Arzneimittelgesetz(AMG) vom 24. 8. 1976 hat neben der Einf$\ddot{u}$hrung des Zulassungsverfahren f$\ddot{u}$r Arzneimittel anstelle des bisherigen Registrieungsverfahrens vor allem auf dem Gebiet des Haftungsrechts eine bedeutende Neuerung gebracht: die Gef$\ddot{a}$hrdungshaftung f$\ddot{u}$r den pharmazeutischen Unternehmer. Gem$\ddot{a}{\ss}$ $\S$84 AMG ist der pharmazeutische Unternehmer zum Schadensersatz verpflichtet. wenn infolge der Anwndung eines Arzneimittels ein Mensch get$\ddot{o}$tet oder K$\ddot{o}$rper oder die Gesundheit eines Menschen nicht unerheblich verletzt wird. Pharmazeutischer Unternehmer ist, wer das Arzneimittel unter seinem Namen in Verkehr bringt. ii) Die Ersatzpflicht des pharmazeutisches Unternehmers besteht jedoch nur in zwei F$\ddot{a}$llen: a) Das Arzneimittel hat bei bestimmungsgemm$\ddot{a}{\ss}$em Gebrauch sch$\ddot{a}$dliche Wirkungen, die $\ddot{u}$ber ein nach den Erkenntnissen der medizinischen Wissenschaft vertretbares Ma$\ss$ hinausgehen($\S$84 Abs. 1 Satz 2 Nr. 1 AMG). b) Der Schaden ist infolge einer nicht den Erkenntnissen der medizinischen Wissenschaft entsprechenden Kennzeichnung, Fachinformarion oder Gebrauchsinformation eingetreten($\S$84 Abs. 1 Satz 2 Nr. 2 AMG). iii) Mit dem 2. Schadensersatzrechts$\ddot{a}$nderungsgesetz ist, dem Konzept von $\S$6 Umwelthaftungsgesetz folgend, eine gesetzliche Kausalit$\ddot{a}$tsvermutung eingef$\ddot{u}$hrt worden. Ist das angewendete Arzneimittel nach den Gegebenheiten des Einzelfalls geeignet, den entstandenen Schaden zu verursachen, so soll vermutet werden, da$\ss$ das Arzneimittel auch den konkreten Schaden beim Anwender verursacht hat($\S$84 II AMG). Der pharmazeutische Unternehmer hat dann diese Vermutung zu wiederlegen. iv) Gem$\ddot{a}{\ss}$ $\S$94 AMG hat der pharmazeutische Unternehmer f$\ddot{a}$r seine Haftpflicht Deckungsvorsorge entweder durch eine Hafpflichtversicherung oder eine Freistellungs- oder Gew$\ddot{a}$hrleistungsverpflichtung eines Inl$\ddot{a}$ndischen Kreditinstituts zu treffen. v) Aber koreanisches Arzneimittelgesetz hat keine Gef$\ddot{a}$hrdungshaftung f$\ddot{u}$r Arzneimittelschaden. Es gibt nur Gefahrdungshaftung des Hersteller aufgrund des Produkthaftungsgesetzes, das auf das Arzneimittel Anwendung findet. Ich glaube, in Zukuft soll koreanisches AMG die Gef$\ddot{a}$hrdungshaftung f$\ddot{u}$r den pharmazeutischen Unternehmer regeln.

The private security industry has expanded in proportion to economic developments throughout the world, largely because the existing security services provided by the government do not satisfy demands of various economic entities and people in the society for better security service. Therefore, it would not be unfair to say that security services by private sectors are decided by its quality, price, and customers' needs. A refined management system, however, is essential to assess qualification of security companies and their service quality, given the nature of public goods of security service. Despite the steady growth of private security industry in Korea, however, it has been continuously criticized that its security management system for better qualification of security guards, training, and private security companies have not been fully updated enough to guarantee good quality. This paper aims to gain insights to effective policy formation in the Korean private security industry, through reviewing the licensing system of private security guards and the Approved Contractor Scheme (hereinafter the ACS) in the UK- that has on one hand systematically regulated private security industry, but on other hand has enforced public-private cooperation by laying significant stress on autonomy of private security companies. The distinctive characteristic of the UK policy for the private security is that the Security Industry Authority (hereinafter the SIA), an independent authority, is leading development of the private security industry of the UK through specialized private security regulation and enhanced service quality. In addition, the UK is developing quality of security service with transparent financial management and recruitment of good quality security guards by adopting not only substantially specified regulations and standards, but the voluntary ACS system. Moreover, the SIA analyzes customers' demands for security service specializing the policy for private security through conducting a variety of surveys. With the analysis of the UK private security system, this paper suggests that the Korean government change from a non-specialized private security regulation system by the National Police Agency to an independently specialized private security authority like the SIA and adopt the compulsory licensing and the ACS system of the UK.

While relatively many researches have been performed on the legal issues of leverage buyout(LBO) in the Korean capital market, the on-going 'interdisciplinary studies' between the legal and the financial aspects of LBO financing structure seems to be relatively few so far. In this particular study, the concept and major financing structures on LBO have been discussed, by which domestic investors including institutional investors, may acquire in-depth knowledge on the issue given the dynamically changing circumstances surrounding the Korean domestic capital market. Moreover, legal analyses related to the conventional case studies on two types of LBO structures such as 'asset-backed LBO' and 'merger-related LBO', have been illustrated, coupled with the review of the previous literature on mergers & acquisitions(M&A) related to the financial aspects of LBO financing structure. From the director's perspective, who is employed by an acquired firm, legal issues in terms of 'fiduciary duty' and 'duty of loyalty' have been discussed, along with the logical scope of 'business judgement principle' in terms of modern finance theory.

CISG Article 71 (1) states that a party may suspend the performance of his obligations if, after the conclusion of the contract, it becomes apparent that the other party will net perform a substantial part of his obligations as a result of a serious deficiency in his ability to perform or in his creditworthiness or his conduct in preparing to perform or in perfoming the contract. CISG Article 71 (2) states a 'right of stoppage in transit' that if the seller has already dispatched the goods before the grounds described in the preceding paragraph become evident, he may prevent the handing over of the goods to the buyer even though the buyer holds a document which entitles him to obtain them. The present paragraph relates only to the rights in the goods as between the buyer and the seller. Under the right of stoppage in transit, the carrier copes with risks that the seller may claim damages arose from the handing over the goods, if he hand over the goods to the buyer and that the buyer may claim damages, if he deny handing over the goods to the buyer who has the document which entitles him to obtain the goods. Therefore the legal position of the carrier may become weak. This paper purpose to point out the legal weakness of the carrier under the right of stoppage in transit and to provide the proper legal act of the carrier and possible practice related to various characters of the contract of sale of the goods. Although there is the opinion it prevent from handing over the goods to the buyer actually under the interpretation that the buyer should take claim damages to the seller, if the goods are handed over to the buyer under the right of stoppage in transit, it is not appropriate because the opinion may disable the right of stoppage in transit. The right of stoppage in transit could be carried out under any payment conditions except letter of credit and under any mode of transportation except the cases that carrier is the buyer himself or the agent of the buyer. It could be executed regardless the forms of the transport document.
