PL보험(제조물배상보험-보험업계에서는 생산물배상책임보험이라고 부른다.)은 제조물의 결함으로 인한 피해를 담보하는 보험이다. 이는 전통적인 배상책임보험의 한 종류로 다른 보험에는 없는 독특한 특징을 몇 가지 갖고 있다. 이러한 특징들은 당초 제조물책임법의 제정 취지인 '소비자 보호'라는 측면과도 상당한 연관성이 있다고 하겠다.

This study investigates the association between financial reporting strategy and the directors' and officers' liability insurance. Since D&O insurance protects officers and directors against the risks of shareholder litigation, it is possible that, because of moral hazard, managers will be more willing to participate in opportunistic financial reporting such as earnings manipulation when they are covered by a generous D&O insurance policy. This paper examines the association between D&O insurance and financial reporting, specifically whether the purchase of D&O insurance affects earnings manipulation. On the other side, the firms engage earnings management are willing to purchase D&O insurance, this study tests whether earnings manipulation affects D&O purchases using listed firms in Korean stock market from 2006 to 2008. This paper finds that firms with higher discretionary accruals are less likely to purchase D&O insurance implies that managers who are participating in earnings manipulation are not willing to purchase D&O insurance. The relation between discretionary accruals and D&O is significantly negative which indicate D&O insurance purchase does not trigger earnings manipulation rather it alleviates opportunistic reporting behavior.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of consumers' right and responsibilities consciousness, and to analyze the difference of decision - making behaviors according to type of consumers' rights and responsibility consciousness level. The data collection subjects were those who had made the decision to purchase insurance directly within the last three years. A total of 1,225 data were used for the final analysis in this study. As a result, the consumer's sense of responsibility was lower than that of the rights consciousness, and the consumer group with the responsibility consciousness corresponding to the right consciousness was making more rational and subjective decisions. Based on these results, it is confirmed that consumer education that emphasizes responsibility consciousness corresponding to right consciousness is necessary for desirable and subjective decision making of insurance consumers. This study is meaningful in that it provides basic data for contents development to raise the awareness of rights and responsibilities of insurance consumers who can solve consumer problems.

최근 제품으로 인한 각종 피해에 대해 피해자 구제의 견지에서 피해자가 간편하고도 용이하게 손해배상 청구를 할 수 있도록 피해입증부담을 경감하고, 제조업자를 포함한 제품공급자측에 보다 엄격한 책임을 물을 수 있도록 규정한 '제조물 책임(product liability: PL)'에 대한 법률이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 PL과 보험간의 관계를 고찰하여 우리 나라의 최근동향 및 대응방안을 살펴보는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 미국에서는 손해보험회사의 급격한 수익악화로 인하여 각 사가 일제히 기존의 보험계약 인수를 거절하여 보험요율과 보험료를 대폭적으로 인상하여 기업들이 배상책임보험을 부보할 수 없는, 소위 '보험위기'라는 상황을 경험하고 있다. 과거 두 번에 걸친 심각한 보험위기의 교훈으로 미국에서 세 번째의 보험위기의 발생유무는 제2차 보험 위기의 원인이었던 미국의 불법행위법 불법행위제도의 개혁여부에 달려 있다고 할 수 있다. 한편 우리 나라에서는 제조물에 대해 피해자 구제를 규율하는 PL법이 제정되어 있지 않다. 향후에 우리 나라가 PL법을 제정하여 실시할 경우에는 미국과 같은 혼란된 상태에 빠지는 문제가 발생하지 않도록 주의를 기울여야 할 것이다. 또한, 피해자 구제와 기업이 안전 제품의 생산에 자극을 줄 수 있도록, 조속한 시일 내에 우리나라에도 PL법을 제정해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

In Paracomon Inc. v. Telus Communication, Realice's anchor became entangled with a working fiber-optic submarine cable during its voyage and are presentative of the shipowner(the captain) cut the cable. The owner of the cable brought a claim for the repair cost against the shipowner. The shipowner then advanced a third party claim against a liability insurance underwriter. The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) held that the shipowner was entitled to limit its liability under the 1976 Convention on the Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims. The SCC also ruled that even though the misdeed of the shipowner was insufficient to break its right to limitation of liability, its wrongdoing constituted willful misconduct under the 1993 Canada Marine Insurance Act, allowing the underwriter to deny coverage for the incident. Thecasewasthefirsttoaddresstheinterrelationship between the shipowner's right to limit liability under the international convention regime and the availability of liability insurance with respect to such limited liability. This study analyzes the reasoning behind the SCC's judgment and evaluates the appropriateness of this court's decision based on the current maritime industry as well as prevailing maritime law. It concludes that the SCC's decision to declare that the shipowner retained the right to limit its liability is appropriate under the Limitation Convention (1976). However, its declaration that the liability insurer was discharged from liability is not correct in due consideration of the common recognition in the maritime industry, the intended purpose of a third party's right against the liability insurer, and the adoption process of the conduct barring limitation. Based on the SCC's decision, this study finally reviews the issue of the shipowner's right to limit and the coverage of the liability insurer in the Sewol case (2014).

Just as safety is the most important thing in aviation, safety is the most important in the operation of unmanned aircraft (RPA), and safety operation is the most important in the legal responsibility of the operator of the unmanned aircraft. In this thesis, the legal responsibility of the operator of the unmanned aircraft, focusing on the responsibility of the operator of the unmanned aircraft, was discussed in depth with the issue of insurance, which compensates for damages in the event of an accident First of all, the legal responsibility of the operator of the unmanned aircraft was reviewed for the most basic : definition, scope and qualification of the operator of the unmanned aircraft, and the liability of the operator of the Convention On International Civil Aviation, the ICAO Annex, the RPAS Manual, the Rome Convention, other major international treaties and Domestic law such as the Aviation Safety Act. The ICAO requires that unmanned aircraft be operated in such a manner as to minimize hazards to persons, property or other aircraft as a major principle of the operation of unmanned aircraft, which is ultimately equivalent to manned aircraft Considering that most accidents involving unmanned aircrafts fall to the ground, causing damage to third parties' lives or property, this thesis focused on the responsibility of operators under the international treaty, and the responsibility of third parties for air transport by Domestic Commercial Act, as well as the liability for compensation. In relation to the Rome Convention, the Rome Convention 1952 detailed the responsibilities of the operator. Although it has yet to come into effect regarding liability, some EU countries are following the limit of responsibility under the Rome Convention 2009. Korea has yet to sign any Rome Convention, but Commercial Act Part VI Carriage by Air is modeled on the Rome Convention 1978 in terms of compensation. This thesis also looked at security-related responsibilities and the responsibility for privacy infringement. which are most problematic due to the legal responsibilities of operating unmanned aircraft. Concerning insurance, this thesis looked at the trends of mandatory aviation insurance coverage around the world and the corresponding regulatory status of major countries to see the applicability of unmanned aircraft. It also looked at the current clauses of the Domestic Aviation Business Act that make insurance mandatory, and the ultra-light flight equipment insurance policy and problems. In sum, the operator of an unmanned aircraft will be legally responsible for operating the unmanned aircraft safely so that it does not pose a risk to people, property or other aircraft, and there will be adequate compensation in the event of an accident, and legal systems such as insurance systems should be prepared to do so.

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.
