  • Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a procurement method that has been proved to improve construction project performance. However, in China implementation of IPD practices in construction projects is unknown though some researchers have studied the problems and constraints in adoption IPD. The purpose of this study was to explore IPD adoption in Chinese construction industry. Critical components of IPD implementation were reviewed, and questionnaires were distributed to collect industry views. The results revealed that IPD uptake is still low. In particular, the liability waiver and shared risks and rewards have been rarely used. In addition, co-location, value engineering method and the new compensation approach have also been hardly adopted. Some practices related to early involvement of key parties were adopted. Surprisingly, the findings indicate that the client has been continuously involved in the projects. The findings may imply that the legal issues and problems of contractual frameworks are still constraining IPD implementation in Chinese construction industry.

  • Where an insurer has unreasonably refused to pay a claim or paid it after unreasonably delay, the existing law in England does not provide a remedy for the insured. Accordingly, the insured is not entitled to damages for any loss suffered as a result of the insurer's unreasonable delay. This legal position differs from the law in Scotland and most major common law jurisdictions. LC thought that the legal position in England is anomalous and out of step with general contractual principles. LC considered that a policyholder should have a remedy where an insurer has acted unreasonably in delaying or refusing payment of claim, and, therefore, recommended a statutory implied term in every insurance that the insurer will pay sums due within a reasonable time and breach of that term should give rise to contractual remedies, including damages. More detailed recommendations of LC are as followings. First, it should be an implied term of every insurance contract that, where an insured makes a claim under the contract, the insurer must pay sums due within a reasonable time. Secondly, a reasonable time should always include a reasonable time for investigating and assessing a claim. Although a reasonable time will depend on all the relevant circumstances, for example, the following things may need to be taken into account, that is, (1) the type of insurance, (2) the size and complexity of the claim, (3) compliance with any relevant statutory rules or guidance, and (4) factors outside the insurer's control. Thirdly, if the insurer can show that it had reasonable grounds for disputing the claim(whether as to pay or not, or the amount payable), the insurer does not breach the obligation to pay within a reasonable time merely by failing to pay the claim while the dispute is continuing. In those circumstances, the conduct of the insurer in handling the dispute may be a relevant factor in deciding whether the obligation was breached and, if so, when. Fourthly, Normal contractual remedies for breach of contract should be available for breach of the implied term to pay sums due within a reasonable time. Finally, In non-consumer insurance contracts, the insurer should be permitted to exclude or limit its liability for breach of the obligation to pay sums due within a reasonable time, unless such breach was deliberate or reckless, and such an insurer's right to contract out will be subject to satisfying the transparency requirements.

  • It is common that several kind of claims between the parties are arising in carrying out international construction works. Therefore, it is very important for them to settle the claims effectively in order to get expected profits and purposes in international construction works. In this article, the author have studied on the procedures and contents on the settlement of claims between the parties based on the FIDIC contracts for major works which are newly prepared in 1999 by FIDIC. Especially, the arbitration clause in the FIDIC contracts for major works attempts to deal with a number of complex contractual and legal matters, sometimes in a very harsh way, e.g. by cutting off a party's rights. It has never been an easy clause to understand or to observe. Nevertheless, the author hopes he has been able in this article to clarify for the reader some of the issues raised by it. I'd like to suggest that our overseas construction companies refer to the FIDIC contracts for major works(especially article 20 : claims, disputes and arbitration) directly or indirectly for their contract of international construction works with overseas employers.

  • In this research, unlike other fishing, the diving apparatus fishery is that the diver is engaged in fishing for profits. Because it is unique fishery, conflicts can be occurred in members. So, the purpose of this research is to define the contractual relationship between the parties of the diving apparatus fishery. For example, the relationship between the owner and diver and the owner and fishing ship crew. In addition, civil liability of default on the obligation was reviewed. Also, because the trouble was occurred by illegal fishing, criminal liability of ship crash caused by illegal diving apparatus fishery was considered. As a result, It is important to notifying the necessity of some method for the status of diver and fishing ship crew in diving apparatus fishery. moreover, It is need to educate the risk of illegal fishery for the parties of diving apparatus fishery.

  • The limited public funds available for infrastructure projects have led governments to consider private entities' participation in long-term contracts for finance, construction, and operation of these projects to share risks and rewards between the public and the private. Because these projects have complicated risk evolutions, diverse contractual forms for each project member to hedge risks involved in a project are necessary. In light of this, Build-Operate-Transfer(BOT) model is considered as effective to accomplish Public Private Partnerships(PPPs) with a characteristic of an ownership-reversion. In BOT projects, the government has used such an incentive system as minimum revenue guarantee(MRG) agreement to attract the private's participation. Although this agreement turns out critical in success of BOT project, there still exist problematic issues in a financial feasibility analysis since the traditional capital budgeting theory, Net Present Value(NPV) analysis, has failed to evaluate the contingent characteristic of MRG agreement. The purpose of this research is to develop real option model based on option pricing theory so as to provide a theoretical framework in valuing MRG agreement in BOT projects. To understand the applicability of the model, the model is applied to the example of the BOT toll road project and the results are compared with that by NPV analysis. Finally, we found that the impact of the MRG agreement is significant on the project value. Hence, the real option model can help the government establish better BOT policies and the developer make appropriate bidding strategies.

  • 최근에는 상업적 우주활동의 증가와 우주파편의 증가로 인해 그 위험성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 우리나라에서도 지난 2009년과 2010년 두 번에 걸쳐 인공위성 발사하였으나, 모두 실패로 끝났다. 이에 따라 국내외적으로 위성 발사 실패에 따른 책임 규명에 대해 보상 논의가 활발하게 이루어졌다. 이러한 점에 비추어 볼 때 우주개발과 관련한 리스크 관리 장치로서의 우주보험에 대한 정확한 개념규정과 법적인 논의가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 우주보험과 관련하여 통상적으로 두 가지 형태가 가능하다. 첫째는 발사와 궤도진입과 관련한 보험이며, 두 번째는 제3자 손해에 대한 보험이다. 전자는 피해를 입은 위성의 소유자나 운영자를 보호하는 것이고, 후자는 사고로 인한 소유자나 운영자의 책임을 담보하거나 배상하는 것이다. 우주보험과 관련하여 국제조약이나 국제적 규범은 없지만, 미국을 비롯한 영국, 프랑스, 러시아, 한국 등 각국은 국내법을 통해 우주보험의 인수를 강제하고 있다. 특히, 미국은 1984년 상업우주개발법과 관련 법률에서 발사체를 운영하는 자격을 가진 사람에게 제3자 손해에 대한 보험을 인수하도록 하고 있다. 상업적 우주산업의 관행과 미국의 상업적 우주발사법에서는 위성의 고객과 발사제공자는 발사로 인한 재산적 손해, 신체적 부상이나 사망 위험에 대한 가정과 상호 책임면제에 합의해야 한다고 규정하고 있다. 이는 위성의 발사 실패나, 위성체를 손실하였을 때, 위성의 고객은 비록 발사제공자가 과실이 있다고 하더라도 발사제공자에세 배상을 요구할 수 없다는 의미일 것이다. 그리고 미국과 기타 우주발사국들은 부보된 보험액을 초과하는 경우 제3자 손해에 정부의 배상을 제공한다. 그러나 유인우주선에 대해서는 유인 우주선에서 포기조항이 요구되지 않으며, 동의를 통보해야만 한다. 위성고객이 발사 제공자에세 소송을 제기하는 것을 제한하는 미국법상 포기조항은 유인우주선에는 적용되지 않는다. 이같이 미국법에서는 우주활동과 관련된 보험문제에 대해서 비교적 상세하게 규정하게 있으나, 다른 국가에서는 다수가 보험을 인수하도록 요구하고 있으나 상세한 규정은 두지 않고 있다. 우리나라도 예외가 아니다. 그러나 향후 우주활동이 활발하게 이루어지 상업적 우주관광 등이 이루어짐에 따라 우주보험문제에 대해서도 심도 있게 논의가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

  • The purpose of this paper is to describe the contents and issues of the draft legislation of Part VI the Carriage by Air of Korean Commercial Code in respect of the domestic carriage of cargo by air, comparing to the related provisions of the Montreal Convention of 1999 for the unification of certain rules for international carriage by air and the related provisions of Korean Commercial Code in respect of the carriage by land and sea. The Montreal Convention in respect of the international carriage by air was adopted in 1999, and Korea has ratified the Montreal Convention in 2007. However, there is now no national legislation in respect of the carriage by air in Korea. Thus, the Ministry of Justice has prepared the draft legislation of Part VI the Carriage by Air of the Korean Commercial Code in July 2008, and the draft legislation is now being reviewed by the National Assembly. The draft provisions of Part VI the Carriage by Air are basically adopting most of the related provisions of the Montreal Convention in respect of the carriage of cargo by air and some draft provisions are applying the related provisions of the Korean Commercial Code in respect of the carriage of cargo by land and sea. In respect of the carriage of cargo by air, the contents of the draft legislation of Part VI the Carriage by Air are composed of the provisions in respect of the liability of the carrier, the rights of the consignor and consignee, the transport document and others. In respect of the carriage of cargo by air, the issues on the draft legislation of Part VI the Carriage by Air are the problems with respect to the extinguishment of the liability of the carrier, the application for the non-contractual claim, the liability limit of the servants or agents of the carrier, the right of disposition of cargo, the effect of breach of the provision in respect of the air transport document, the prescription of claim of the carrier, the immunity reasons from liability of the carrier for the loss or damage of the cargo, the making out of the air waybill, and the effect of the statement of the air transport document. In conclusion, the national legislation of Part VI the Carriage by Air of the Korean Commercial Code will protect the right and interest of the consignor and consignee, and clarify the right and duty of the parties to the air transport. Also it will contribute to the development of the air transport industry in Korea.

  • In the approaching 21th century, the outstanding development in international trade and commerce has established arbitration as the preferred form of dispute resolution on international business transaction. Because the form of commercial dispute becomes more complicated and varied with the quantitative increase of them, the reasonable and rapid settlement of them must be the important problem simultaneously. In this article, the author discusses various issues on the recognition and enforcement of an foreign arbitral awards under Korean Arbitration Act, which is modeled after the Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration of the UNCITRAL of 1985. The Dec. 31, 1999 amendment to the Korean Arbitration Act admits the basis for enforcement of foreign arbitral awards rendered under United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958(commonly known as the New York Convention). Korea has acceded to the New York Convention since 1973. When acceding to the convention, Korea declared that it will apply the Convention to the recognition and enforcement of awards made only in the territory of anther Contracting State on the basis of reciprocity. Also, Korea declared that it will apply the Convention only to differences arising out of legal relationships, whether contractual or not, which are considered as commercial under the national law of Korea. The provision relating to the enforcement of arbitral awards falling under the New York Convention consists of Article III, IV, V. In particular, Article V of the New York Convention enumerates the grounds for refusal of recognition foreign arbitral awards. The grounds are separated into two categories : One that abides by procedures and the others are based on national legal sovereignty. In Korea, a holder of a foreign arbitral award is obliged to request from the court a judgment ordering enforcement of awards. Because Korea requires enforcement to be based on a judgement, the result is that arbitral of award holders are forced to institute domestic litigation.

  • 미디어 플랫폼이 증가하고 콘텐츠 시장의 경쟁이 치열해지면서 성공한 콘텐츠를 다른 미디어 장르로 재매개하는 크로스미디어 스토리텔링이 주목을 받고 있다. 특히 웹툰이 원천 콘텐츠(source genre)로 급부상하고 있는 가운데 본 연구는 웹툰 <미생>이 TV드라마로 재매개 되는 과정에서 어떤 방식으로 서사가 확장되고 개조되었는지 분석하고, 이러한 변형을 불러온 미디어의 특성과 수용자와의 관련성을 논의하였다. 분석결과 상대적으로 특정 대상층을 목표로 하는 웹툰 <미생>이 바둑의 기보를 바탕으로 종합상사 비정규직 계약사원을 중심으로 직장인의 삶과 애환을 담담하게 그려냈다면, 보다 폭넓은 시청자를 확보해야 하는 TV드라마에서는 사회적 이슈가 되고 있는 '비정규직의 애환', '직장내 성차별과 성희롱', '워킹맘의 애환' '신입 동기들간의 로맨스' 등 대중적 서사를 강화한 '확장' 전략을 사용하였다. 또 극적 재미를 위해 명확히 선악이 구분되는 인물 구도를 통한 갈등의 고조, 휴머니즘과 희극성의 강화를 드라마의 스토리텔링 전략으로 사용하였다.

  • Arbitration is a private and contractual means of dispute resolution. As a creature of contract, any particular arbitration owes its existence-and attendant limitations-to an arbitral agreement. This means that, in practice, the parties select their own judges, forum, and rules. By agreeing to arbitration, parties hope to achieve several goals. And arbitration has proven to be quicker, cheaper, and more predictable than litigation as a means of resolving many types of claims. As a primary method of conflict resolution, it is now worthwhile to consider carefully any procedural mechanism designed to promote the central aims of this alternative to litigation. It is helpful to frame any particular analysis according to (1) the type of decision for which preclusive effect is sought (arbitral award or court judgment) and (2) the type of subsequent proceeding in which preclusion is sought (an arbitration or a litigation). Res judicata may well bar litigation of that claim between the parties, but non-parties (affiliates or individuals) will not benefit from this bar unless the arbitral tribunal makes findings sufficient to satisfy the elements of collateral estoppel. The final permutation to be considered involves an arbitral award's preclusive effect on a subsequent arbitration. Whether a prior court decision should preclude issues or claims in a subsequent arbitration presents the easiest case for analysis. It is the easiest primarily because there is generally little room to debate whether adequate procedures were followed in a litigation. That is, one can safely assume that the rules of evidence and the rules of civil procedure were followed and that formal records sufficiently memorialize both the proceeding itself and the ultimate decision. Procedural regularity is mentioned not necessarily because it is an analytic tool, but because so many jurists and scholars see it as an impediment to the application of preclusionary doctrines.
