  • 국민의 기본권 보호는 국가의 당연한 의무이다. 헌법은 국가의 기본권 보호 의무를 명시적으로 선언하고 있으며 이에 입각하여 국가는 국민의 기본권 보장을 위하여 보다 적극적인 수준에서 의무를 부담한다고 보아야 한다. 물론 근대시민국가에서는 자유권 보장에 주안점을 두었고 현대국가에서는 사회권 혹은 생존권 보장에 더 많은 관심을 둔 것이 사실이지만 국가의 자유권 보장을 위한 의무를 강조하지 않을 수는 없다. 그렇다면 여전히 국민의 기본권 보장을 위한 노력을 경주하여야 하는 것이고 이에 따라 입법자는 보다 구체적인 행위의무를 부담한다고 볼 수 있게 된다. 특히 승강기는 우리 생활에 필수적이라는 점에서 그리고 이의 피해는 상당히 치명적이라는 점에서 이의 안전성 확보를 위한 방안은 매우 중요하고 국가의 행위의무 역시 상당히 중요하다고 볼 수밖에 없다. 특히 민간 수준의 행위자의 역할을 강조하는 영국의 경험은 우리에게도 상당 정도의 시사점을 던져 주고 있는 것이 사실이어서 안전성 제고를 위한 설치 전 안전성 점검, 부품 품질관리, 검사기준의 구체화, 검사주기의 다각화 등의 물적 사항과 점검자 자격 구체화, 점검자 독립성 보장, 승강기 책무자 다양화 및 이용자책무의 다각화 등의 인적 사항들은 우리에게도 충분히 고려할 만한 사항이다. 하지만 영국의 상황과 우리의 상황이 정확히 일치하는 것은 아니라는 점에서 그들의 정책을 금과옥조로 삼을 수만은 없다. 즉 영국의 정책을 절대적으로 수용할 필요는 없는 것이며 다만 정책의 특징을 고려하여 타당한 정책이라면 우리의 법제에 적절하게 적용하는 운영의 묘를 발휘하여야 하는 것이다.

  • In medical malpractice lawsuits, negligence is generally defined as conduct that is culpable because it falls short of what a reasonable person would do to protect another individual from a foreseeable risks of harm. Thus, the essence of negligence is a breach of obligations to be attentive, and the breach of obligations to be is negligence. However, whether negligence is or not depends on time, place, litigation forms and the judge since the meaning of negligence is wavering on the basis of abstract and normative judgment. In this thesis, what is medical negligence, a breach of obligations of attention for a doctor in medical malpractice lawsuits, would be it further enacted that doctors have the responsibility to protect the patients as a subordinate duty due to a principle of faith and sincerity besides the main duty for medical contract-performance since the suit is a litigation form to be based on responsibilities of experts, especially doctors, though having factors that are non-contractual as a trait for medical treatment. Further on the concept, when the plaintiff asserts and proves a specific fact from the recent moderation of the burden of proof about medical malpractices, whether the court should find a true bill in medical malpractice actually or not has been discussed.

  • To protect air pollution of urban area from motor vehicles, emission limits for diesel vehicles have been dramatically lowered in short period. But recent studies have shown that on-road NOx emissions of light-duty diesel vehicles are considerably higher than the values measured with laboratory test procedures used for emission certification. To tackle with this issue, Ministry of Environment have a plan to introduce EU RDE-LDV (Real-driving Emission-Light-duty Vehicle) regulation. In this study, 4 Euro 6 diesel vehicles have been tested with the new test procedures published by EU to estimate on-road NOx emissions using PEMS (Portable Emission Measurement System). The results have shown that the requirements of EU RDE-LDV could be met in driving condition of metropolitan area for constitution of test routes and validity of test results. In analysing with Moving Averaging Window method the completeness and normality of test data were validated with the requirement. On-road NOx emissions were quite deviated as test vehicles and higher than the new limit of on-road NOx emission enforced from Sept. 2017, which means that RDE-LDV can effectively reduce NOx emission of diesel vehicles in real driving conditions of Korea.

  • It is widely known that compare to many other countries, the U.S.A. has a strong framework for efficient implementation of mitigation policy to protect wetlands. As indicated in many strong mitigation initiatives, mitigation policy primary requires avoidance rule for wetland damage and if a developer inevitability damages wetlands, the development should be minimize, and as a last resort, the policy impose legal duty that a developer should compensate wetland corresponding to the damaged wetlands. However, the legal system fur Korea's mitigation system does not provide any legal duty for the compensatory mitigation, although the possibility of creation of tidal flat is casually expressed in several Korean legal systems. Therefore, without any strong and enforceable legal system, Korean mitigation system cannot efficiently protect Korea's vast and productive wetlands. To introduce mitigation policy similar to the U.S.A. in Korea, we suggest that there (a) should be a strongly policy which regulate legal duty for the compensatory mitigation, (b) should be an improve management system for actively corresponding to special knowledge relating to environment, and lastly, (c) should be a system which consider a class action introduced in environmental regime for a long term protection of tidal wetlands for future generation.

  • 우리나라의 임상시험은 최근 10년간 그 규모가 성장하여 임상시험 산업의 주요 국가로 자리매김 하였다. 임상시험은 의료수준의 발전 및 치료 가능성의 확대를 위해 중요한 의미를 지니고 있다. 그러나 임상시험은 의약품 등의 안전성과 유효성을 증명하기 위한 것으로서 본질적으로 위험성을 내포하고 있으므로, 적절히 통제되어야만 임상시험대상자의 건강과 자기결정권이라는 법익을 보호할 수 있다. 이를 위해 임상시험을 수행하는 의사의 선관주의의무 이행이 특히 중요하다. 약사법과 그 하위법령은 시험자인 의사가 준수하여야 할 여러 의무를 규정하고 있다. 이 중 대상자 보호의무와 설명의무는 의사의 임상시험대상자에 대한 주된 선관주의의무를 구성한다. 이는 통상적인 의사의 진료행위에 있어서의 주의의무 및 설명의무와도 본질적으로 그 보호법익과 내용이 유사하다. 임상시험의 경우 통상적인 진료행위의 경우보다 가중된 설명의무가 요구된다. 임상시험에서의 구체적인 주의의무 기준 설정은 향후 판결과 연구를 통해 이루어져야 할 것이나. 주의의무의 기준을 막연히 높이거나 입증책임을 전환하는 등으로 임상시험을 수행하는 의사의 책임을 가중시킬 경우, 자칫 임상시험의 발전 및 환자의 새로운 치료법에 대한 접근성을 저해하고 손해의 공평·타당한 분담이라는 원칙에 위배될 우려가 있다. 이러한 의무들 외에도 임상시험에 대한 법령은 의사에 대해 여러 의무를 규정하고 있는바, 이러한 법령의 위반이 선관주의의무 위반에 해당함으로써 손해배상책임이 인정되는지의 문제는 해당 법령이 부수적으로라도 임상시험대상자의 안전과 이익을 보호하기 위한 것인지 여부, 대상자의 법익 침해의 유무와 정도, 법령위배행위의 태양 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 판단하여야 한다. 이와 같은 여러 의무의 충실한 준수가 이루어지도록 담보하고, 구체적 사안에서 임상시험대상자의 법익이 적절히 보호되었는지에 대해 사법(司法)적, 행정적 통제를 함으로써 법익 보호를 효과적으로 담보할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The duty of utmost good faith is found in sections 17-20 of MIA 1906. Critics of the current legal regime on the pre-contractual duty from the viewpoint of the assured, have been concentrated on two points in particular. First, the scope of the duty is so wide that it imposes too high burden on the assured. The second criticism is directed at the remedy, prescribed by the MIA 1906, s.17, against breach of the duty. This article intends to analyse the legal implications of proposals in CP 2007 for reforming pre-contractual duty of utmost good faith of business assured in English insurance contracts law and the problems of proposals. The Law Commissions are proposing four fundamental changes to meet the long-standing criticism and the results of analysis are as following. First, the Law Commissions are proposing a change in the test of constructive knowledge in relation to the duty of disclosure so that a business assured will be obliged to disclose facts which he knows or a reasonable ought to know in the circumstances. Secondly, deviating from the current legal position, the Law Commissions are proposing that if a business assured has made a misrepresentation, but the assured honestly and reasonably believe what it said to be true, the insurer should not have any remedy due to the misrepresentation. The proposal is designed to protect the reasonable expectations of business assured at the pre-contractual stage. Thirdly, the Law Commissions are proposing to change the test for materiality by replacing the "prudent insurer" test by a "reasonable assured" test. The proposed test would focus on the question of what a reasonable assured in the circumstances would think what is relevant to the judgment of the insurer. Finally, the Law Commissions are proposing flexible remedies in case of the breach of the duty. The Law Commissions are proposing no remedy when an assured is acting honestly and reasonably, while avoidance in case of dishonesty. On the other hand, The Law Commissions seem to have an intention to introduce a compensatory remedy in case of negligent breach of the duty.

  • This paper is relating to the debates upon the physicians' duty to issue the prescription documents to their patients. The duty should be approached in light of the patients' right to know about the prescription and pharmacy. The Korean Constitution is construed to protect the citizens' right to know as a fundamental right. The Constitution article 10 reads as follows: "All citizens shall be assured of human dignity and worth and have the right to pursue happiness. It is the duty of the State to confirm and guarantee the fundamental and inviolable human rights of individuals." The rights confirmed and guarantee by this article include the patients' right to know about what happens to their body, that is the treatments taken for them and so on. One of the treatments is the prescription and pharmacy. The information is necessary for them to establish their action for the damages in case of their harm resulted in by the negligence in prescription and pharmacy. Now that the prescription is written about by a physician and then the pharmacists compound the prescribed medicines, the patients need to get the documents signed by the pharmacists about the pharmacy. It should be noted that the patients right to know is the right to know and remember. Therefore the patients, who are laymen about the pharmacy, need two prescription documents one of which should be kept by them even after they take the prescribed and compounded medicines for the potential trial.

  • Air cleaners in all of the automotive engines have been used for decades. In the early 1920's the oil bath type was the popular shape of air cleaners. The air cleaners of the oil wetted bath type were introduced in 1940's. The shape of the dry pleated paper type media was introduced in the 1950's. This trend still continues with new and innovative media being introduced. Engine air cleaners should have effectively removed and reduced harmful contaminants being ingested into engines. This studies show that both, the ingested contaminant size and concentration need to be controlled. This paper com pare and analyze the characteristics over the economics, engine performances and reduction of noises of power-plus air filters with wet paper which were sticked to heavy duty diesel engine.

  • This paper investigates the consumer arbitration practices In the U.S. The key issue in consumer arbitration is how to protect the individual consumers from the loss of their legal rights stemming from the arbitration agreement with the business. In the U.S., the major legal doctrines to protect individual consumer include the voluntary-knowing-intelligent doctrine, unconscionability doctrine, and void contract. Even though the US courts are favorable to the enforceability of arbitration agreement, they strictly apply the contract law theories in deciding the existence of arbitration agreement, providing a strong common law protection for the consumers in arbitration. However, the practices for protection of consumers in arbitration in Korea are not mature yet. If consumer arbitration is widely adopted into B to C contracts, a protective measure for individual consumer can be found in the Act of Clause Regulation providing that the business has duty to explain the relevant clause in the adhesive contracts.
