The suggestions that follow are about the device to assure the effectiveness of administrational regulation and supervision in Korean private security. First, government clearance should be reinforced. For this it is necessary that the qualification for security dealer-careers and academic backgrounds with security etc.- should be elucidated in Security Law. Also it should be achieved to increase the capital fund and to keep security guards for insuring substitutional manpower. Second, after legal permission governmental supervision should be done in quality by means of setting up the competent institutions independently. Third, the punishment for obtaining security license mendaciously, carrying out illegal or unfair task and assigning Security Guard Supervisors expediently should be strengthened. Also to prevent expedient acts it is necessary to prescribe illegal or unfair acts in the concrete in Security Law and violators should be legally responsible. Fourth, to lay the foundation for security industry itself and make up for perfunctory governmental direct System for Professional License (of private security guard) should come into effect.

This writer have thus far reviewed the civil and criminal obligations of the directors of a parent company that sponsored financially troubled affiliates. What was discussed here applies to logistics companies in the same manner. Hanjin Shipping cannot expect its parent company, Korean Air to prop it up financially. If such financial aid is offered without any collateral, under Korean criminal law, the directors of the parent company bears the burden of civil and criminal responsibility. One way to get around this is to secure fairness in terms of the process and the content of aid. Fairness in terms of process refers to the board of directors making public all information and approving such aid. Fairness in terms of content refers to impartial transactions that block out any possibilities of the chairman of the corporate group acting in his private interest. In the case of Korean Air bailing out Hanjin, the meeting of board of directors were held five times and a thorough review was conducted on the risks involved in the loans being repaid or not. After the review, measures to guard against undesirable scenarios were established before finally deciding on bailing out Hanjin. As such, there are no issues. In terms of the fairness of content, too, there were practically no room for the majority shareholder or controlling shareholder to pocket profits at the expense of the company. This is because the continued aid offered to a financially troubled company (i.e. Hanjin Shipping) was a posing a burden to even the controlling shareholder. This writer argues that the concept of the interest of the entire corporate group needs to be recognized. That is, it must be recognized that the relationship of control and being controlled between parent company and affiliate company, or between affiliate companies serves a practical benefit to the ongoing concern and growth of the group and is therefore just. Moreover, the corporate group and its affiliates, as well as their directors and management must recognize that they have an obligation to prioritize the interests of the corporate group ahead of the interests of the company that they are directly associated with. As such, even if Korean Air offered a loan to Hanjin Shipping without collateral, the act cannot be treated as an offense to law, nor can the directors be accused of damages that they bear the responsibility of compensating under civil law.

Although Public Construction Works in Korea have been executed according to Government Contract Act, and nature of contract is very complicated. So it is difficult to define liability for the defects. Therefore the studies on the defective performance and contractor's defects liability were remained one of the non-cultivated virgin land. As a result, contract privy waive the right to claim or generally resolve the problems. Therefore domestic and overseas liability for the defects was investigated and liability for the defects, under and after construction, on the defective performance and defects, was analysed. With a literature research, contractor's defect liability was systematically analyzed, problems were defined and resolution of the problem were suggested item by item in this study.

The warranty liability period for defects in apartment buildings by work type is not based on scientific analysis, making the appropriateness of the term a culprit behind the lawsuits. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the appropriateness of the warranty liability term of apartment buildings by identifying the current status of defects, in particular, caused by finishing works. That is because the number of defects, caused during the finishing works, accounted for the largest portion of the total defect cases of apartment buildings reported to the Apartment Defect Dispute Mediation Committee under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of Korea between 2010 and 2011. The result from analyzing claims for defect repairs of the finishing works showed that most cases by work type continued to be made after two years, and only about 60% were charged within the warranty period. And, defects by work type have correlation, which needs to be considered for a better construction technique. Considering a low correlation between the possibility of defects and the construction performance rankings, which are highly relevant to the apartment preference. It is believed that there needs to be a qualification process for agencies that actually performs finishing works.

The Assembly plenary session on December 3, 2017 passed a Product Liability Amendment bill that introduced clauses concerning consumer burden of proof and punitive damage reimbursement. More specifically, these newly approved provisions will reduce the burden of proof placed on consumers and levy triple punitive damage on suppliers. Significant increases in the number of product-liability lawsuit and the number of related insurance contracts are expected. Since military aircraft are designed for operational purpose(seeking greater combat effectiveness over greater safety) and used in high-risk environment, it is practically impossible to obtain an affordable product-liability insurance, Without having any backup plan, military aircraft manufacturers directly face all sort of liability risks under Product Liability Act, Warrant Liability Act and Non-Performance of Contract Act. The U.S. experienced similar problems when they first implemented their product-liability law in 1970s. There had been a big dispute among legal practitioner, insurance professionals and scholars concerning military aircraft manufacturer's liability. In order to settle the issue, the U.S. Supreme Court has established a new precedent of Government Contractor Defense(GCD). The U.S. government also included an indemnity clause for military aircraft manufacturers in their FMS Contract with the Korean government. Likewise, Korean military aircraft manufacturers should 1) clearly understand their current position that they cannot afford expensive product-liability insurance and the cost is not accounted in the military procurement calculation, 2) estimate potential liability risks with the ongoing overseas export expansion in mind, 3) set up appropriate risk management measures through regulatory reform and policy development.

This study analyse the safe port warranty undertaking for shipowner of time charterer with the Ocean Victory Case. Litigation ensued between those in the charterparty chain. When the hull insurer, Gard, took an assignment of the rights of the vessel's owners and demise charterers in a claim against the time charterers that the vessel had been ordered by them to an unsafe port in breach of the charter. Although the claim succeeded, the Court of Appeal overturned the decision. The Supreme Court delivered its judgment on May 10, 2017, dealing with three important issues, safe port, joint insurance, and limitation of liability. Especially on the safe port issue, the court held that the port was not unsafe within the meaning of the safe port undertaking so the charterers were not in breach of it. The conditions in the port amounted to an abnormal occurrence as that expression is understood.

인류과학 문명의 발달은 전기문명의 발전없이는 생각할 수 없음은 자명한 사실이다. 그러나 화석 에너지의 고갈로 인한 전기 에너지의 생산의 타개책으로 인간의 지혜는 원자력발전이란 귀한 에너지원을 확보하게 되었음은 실로 다행한 일이며 인간역사가 계속 이어질 수 있는 바탕을 마련하였다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, 이 원자력 에너지는 화석 에너지의 결점인 환경오염으로부터 완전해방이 되었을 뿐만 아니라 경제성 측면에서 비교우위에 있음이 확실하다. 그러나 원전은 안전성을 담보로 하기 때문에 설비의 운영관리에 많은 제약이 뒤따르고 있다. 그러므로 원전은 그 관리능력이 인정될 수 있는 국가와 국민만이 화석 에너지가 갖지 못하는 혜택을 누릴 수 있는 것이다. 그래서 원전의 안전 규제 체제는 사업자에게만 그 책임을 지울 수 없으므로 국가적인 차원에서 안전관리의 목표와 정책을 수립하고 이것을 효과적으로 시행하기 위한 법적, 제도적 장치를 마련하고 있다.
