The Federal Arbitration Act and the States Arbitration acts of the United States approve that the an arbitration clause should be construed broadly and the Courts interpreted it broadly without being curbed by the written meaning of clause itself. The Courts also divided the interpretation of arbitration clause from the interpretation of other clauses of contract to approve the validity of arbitration clause and further expanded the scope of arbitration. However, the Arbitration Act of Korea does not specify a general principle about how an arbitration clause should be interpreted. The Supreme Court did not have a case yet but the lower courts kept their posture that an arbitration clause should be clear by resulting narrow interpretation and should be written to the extent that it excludes the power of courts from jurisdiction. As a result, there would be cases that arbitration is not permitted although an arbitration clause exists. The parties intending arbitration are frustrated about how to draft an arbitration clause into their agreement. There were the cases that the parties which took the prevailing position attempted to delay dispute resolutions by dragging disputes into litigation even if they agreed to resolve through arbitration, on the basis that an arbitration clause was incomplete. Although the arbitration statutes of the United States cannot apply in Korea, the way of their approaches to the interpretation of arbitration clause can be taken into consideration in view of the globalization of arbitration.

The primary purpose of the general duty clause is to offer an extra measure of protection to employees in the workplace. Most standards implemented under OSHA are targeted at a specific hazard. The general duty clause, however allows inspectors to cite employers for exposing its employees to a recognized hazard that has not been specifically addressed in the regulations. Congress intended the general duty clause to be a limited means of advancing the purposes of the OSHAct. But OSHA has not always regarded the general duty clause as the limited means for protecting the safety and health of employees that Congress intented. OSHA attempted to expand the scope of the general duty clause, at times improperly, to make it a more flexible enforcement tool. OSHA's interpretation of each of the restrictions on the scope of the clause has changed over the years. In recent years the general duty clause has been utilized as a sometimes controversial mechanism for enforcement of safety guidelines that have not yet been specifically addressed by statute or regulation. The most notable example of this was application of the general duty clause to ergonomic hazards.

투자계약이 투자협정의 보호를 받을 수 있도록 규정하는 포괄적 보호조항은 투자계약상의 이행의무를 투자협정국간의 구체적인 합의로 명시하며 투자보호를 강화하는 역할을 한다. 그러나 대부분의 투자협정에 규정되어 있는 포괄적 보호조항은 그 적용범위와 관련하여 확립된 기준이 없어 논란한 여지가 많다. 포괄적 보호조항은 그 적용범위에 따라 투자의 보호 범위를 확장하거나 축소할 수 있기 때문에 중요한 의의를 가진다. 그러므로 본 연구는 포괄적 보호조항의 적용범위와 관련하여 ICSID 중재사례에 초점을 맞추어 이를 분석하고자 한다. 그리고 이러한 사례분석을 통하여 포괄적 보호조항의 적용범위를 획정할 수 있는 기준들을 유추하여 실무적인 지침을 마련하고자 한다.

한국어 문장은 대부분 주절과 내포문을 가지는 복문으로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 복문에 나타나는 하나 이상의 용언으로 인해 구문 분석 과정에서 다양한 구문 애매성이 발생한다. 이들 중 대부분은 내포문의 수식 범위로부터 발생되는 구 부착의 문제 때문이다. 이런 구문 애매성은 내포문의 범위를 정해서 하나의 구문 범주의 기능을 가지도록 하면 해결할 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 내포문의 범위를 정하기 위해서 문형과 한국어의 구문 특성을 이용한다. 먼저, 내포문에 있는 용언의 문형 정보가 가질 수 있는 필수격을 최대로 부착하여 내포문의 범위를 정하고 이를 이용해서 복문을 내포문과 주절로 분할한다. 그리고 한국어의 구문 특성을 이용해서 분할된 내포문의 기능을 하나의 구문 범주인 체언구나 부사구로 변환한다. 이렇게 함으로써 복합문의 구성 형태가 단문 구조로 변환되기 때문에 내포문의 범위에 의한 구 부착의 문제가 쉽게 해결된다. 이것을 본 논문에서는 내포문의 단문 분할이라고 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 1000 문장을 실험한 결과 문형과 단문 분할을 이용하지 않은 방법보다 구문 애매성이 88.32% 감소되었다.

Incorporation of an arbitration clause by reference to other documents occurs in many international business transactions. The reference is either to another document that contains arbitration clause or to trading rules which contain the arbitration clause, without the main contract mentioning that arbitration has been agreed upon. In fact, incorporation by reference in to a contract of an arbitration clause set forth in another agreement is deemed valid in any number of circumstances, even when the parties to the two contractual instruments are not the same. Difficulties arise when, instead of an express arbitration provision, a contract contains a clause which refers to the trading rules of a certain trade association, so-called external arbitration clause. The U.S. courts which will presume that the parties intended to arbitrate under a particular set of rules when they expressly mentioned arbitration in their agreement, have sometimes refused to enforce contract clauses that do no more than refer to particular trading rules, even if these rules contain provisions binding the parties to arbitrate their disputes. The courts in such cases tend to be careful in determinig whether intent to arbitrate is present. In maritime contracts, the arbitration clause in a charter party is often referred to in the bill of lading. Such reference usually is held binding upon the parties to the contract of carriage, their knowledge of such practice being presumed. A nonsignatory may compell arbitration against a party to an arbitration agreement when that party has entered into a separate contractual relationship with the nonsignatory which incorporates the existing arbitration clause. If a party's arbitration clause is expressly incorporated into a bill of lading, nonsignatories … who are linked to that bill … may be bound to the arbitration agreement of others. An arbitration clause in a charterparty will be incorporated into a bill of lading if either - (a) there are specific words of incorporation in the bill, and the arbitration clause is so worded as to make sense in the context of the bill, and the clause dose not conflict with the express terms of the bill; or (b) there are general words of incorporation in the bill, and the arbitration clause or some other provision in the charter makes it clear that the clause is to govern disputes under the bill as well as under the charter. In all other cases, the arbitration clause is not incorporated into the bill.

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.

After a long period of development and worldwide consultation, the London-based Joint Cargo Committee has revised the Institute Cargo Clauses (A), (B) & (C) and some ancillary Institute Clauses. The revision mainly include a clarification of the exclusions within the clauses, some modernization of the language of the clauses and new definitions of some terms. With these revisions, the coverage is widened to offer more protection to the assured. This may enable the widely used Institute Cargo Clauses to receive even greater worldwide acceptance. The following are the main changes in the new 2009 ICC compared with the 1982 ICC. 1. Insufficient or unsuitable Packing or Preparation(Clause 4.3): The revised clause is more favourable to the assured because under the revised clause this sub-clause is only applicable to (a) where packing or preparation is carried out by the assured or their employees or (b) packing or preparation takes place before the attachment of the risk. 2. Insolvency or Financial Default (Clause 4.6): The insolvency and financial default wording is incorporated in the revised clauses, making it more favourable to the assured. 3. Unseaworthiness (Clause 5): The revision is more favourable to the assured in that it limits the exclusion in relation to the unfitness of vehicles, vessels or containers to cases where the assured or their employees are privy to such unfitness. 4. Terrorism (Clause 7): A new definition of "terrorism" is introduced and the revised clause also widens the acts of an individual to encompass ideological and religious motives.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the viewpoints of the different legal systems for the validity of LD Clause and the possibility of gap-filling function of UNIDROIT Principles in International Sales Contract. The results of comparative study between common law system and civil law system, and between CISG and UNCDROIT Principles is as follows: First, common law system distinguishes LD Clause and Penalty Clause, but civil law system including Korean law does not strictly distinguish the difference between them, provided that the liquidated damages are not grossly excessive. Second, CISG does not concerned with the validity of LD Clause but entrust this matter to the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law; conversely the Principles follow similar position of civil law system. The possibility of gap-filling of the Principles is more positive in the case of arbitration than in the case of litigation. On the basis of above study, I also checked the LD Clauses of ICC Model International Sales and the Model Contracts of Korean Commercial Arbitration Board. The LD Clauses of there two Model Contract seem very appropriate and reasonable for the reference in practical application. The appropriate, not excessive, LD Clause will contribute not only to eliminate the burden of proof for the actual damages, but also to enforce both parties to perform their obligations in their contracts. Therefore, When we make contract, we should keep in our mind to insert the reasonable and appropriate LD Clause in the sales contract. If not, so to speak, litigated damages are grossly excessive, the Clause may be invalid in some legal system.

접속의 개념은 인간의 언어가 가진 속성 중의 하나로, 동물의 소통방식은 접속의 구조가 없다고 알려져 있다. 접속이란 문법단위들의 '연결'(connection, linkage)로 영어의 경우 종속접속절을 전치사구(PP)의 범주로 간주하거나, 보문소구 (CP)의 범주로 분류한다. 또한, 문장의 유형과 복잡성도 접속의 방식에 의해서 결정되는데, 동등접속과 달리 종속접속은 접속되는 문법단위가 대부분 절(clause)의 형태가 된다. 전통문법이나 학교문법에서는 종속접속이 그 기능에 따라 명사성 보충절, 형용성 관계절, 부사성 수식-부가절 3가지로 나뉘어 왔으나, 본 논문은 마치 소절(small clause)이 "절"로 인정되면서, 여러 가지 기능을 하는 것과 마찬가지로 무주어 무동사 종속절 (Verbless subordinate clause. V-less SC)을 종속절의 한 유형으로 보면서, 이를 극소절(smallest small clause)로 명명하고, 이들이 종속절의 일부라는 제안을 한다. 또한, 구조와 기능을 보다 세분하여 종합적으로 분석함으로서, XP라고 특정할 수 없는 절을 포함하여 분석할 수 있는 장점이 있음을 지적한다.
