As a matter of fact, the document which has been developed to resolve the obvious conflicts between the interests of buyer and seller is the bill of lading. The bill of lading provides the seller with some security against default by the buyer and the buyer with some assurance of performance of the seller before the buyer is required to make payment. So to speak, the B/L provides some extent protection for both seller and buyer. This is a study on the construction of Liner Bill of Lading(Code name : CONLINEBILL) adopted by BIMCO(The Baltic and International Maritime Conference) and is using a basic bill of lading in the liner ships operation. In this study, the writer makes a wider and deeper study of rights of rights and obligations of Contract Parties by means of the rules of construction, specially focusing the Carriers liability under Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971(COGSA 1971), Hague-Visby Rules and Korea Commercial Law.

International commercial arbitration has established itself as the primary dispute resolution mechanism for international business transactions. Certainly, there are commonly-accepted standards that have evolved to reflect an internationally-harmonized approach to issues relating to the taking of evidence. This is reflected in International Bar Association("IBA") Rules for Taking of Evidence in International Evidence("IBA Rules"). This IBA Rules were revised in 2010. Designed to assist parties in determining what procedures to use in their particular case, IBA Rules present some of the methods for conducting international arbitration proceedings. Parties and arbitral tribunals may adopt IBA Rules in whole or in part - at the time of drafting the arbitration clause in a contract or once an arbitration commences - or they may use them as guidelines. They supplement applicable national laws and institutional or ad hoc rules. The IBA Rules were an ambitious undertaking, designed to overcome fundamental cultural differences relating to the taking of evidence under different national court systems. While it is difficult to assess how frequently the IBA Rules are actually adopted by parties, it is fair to say that they have had a considerable influence on the practice of taking evidence in international arbitration. This article mainly describes the essential provisions of IBA Rules, as revised in 2010, including but not limited to production of document, witnesses of fact, party-appointed experts, and tribunal-appointed experts. It also provides a comparison of relevant procedural rules of civil law and common law systems to each of the above mentioned provisions. It is important for arbitration practitioners to understand the differences in the taking of evidence under civil law and common law systems, respectively. This article will be helpful for practitioners and academics not only to understand the revised IBA Rules themselves but also to prepare for, and adequately deal with, the frictions that may arise as a result of the differences in approach for taking evidences. Indeed, so prepared, the arbitration practitioner will be able to anticipate the expectations, perceptions and the conduct of the parties, their counsel and the tribunal members.

Through the this paper, a conclusion could be derived from CISG PICC MISC made by UNIDROIT, UNCITRAL, ICC of representative system making out a draft for uniform law, convention, trade usages. (1) In short, like most int'l sales rules applicable to commercial contracts, these rules play a supporting role, supplying answers to problems arising from transaction between the parties. (2) Though every one has in its own way a special feature, use of MISC made on the basis of actual facts which the parties are faced with their daily transactions, CISG and Incoterms being now in force, is desirable. (3) In case of use of MISC similar to a system of Incoterms, as PICC, it is necessary for MISC to set forth definitions about important terminology which is possible to give concerned parties confusion. (4) In a sense, PICC has a character complementing problems which CISG can not solve, therefore, if int'l agreement is given, it is desirable to adopt revised PICC adding specials conditions (A) of MISC as appendix of PICC such as Llouyd's Form in an appendix to MIA, as int'l convention.

오늘날 항공운송은 국가 간 인적 물적 교류를 위한 최적화된 운송 수단이다. 우리나라는 물론 세계 각국은 효율적인 항공운송을 이용하기 위해 국제항공협정을 체결하여 항공사 노선확장과 운항횟수의 증가 등을 이룩하였지만 동전의 양면처럼 항공운송 사고의 발생가능성도 높아졌다. 항공운송 사고의 발생 빈도는 타교통수단 사고와 비교하였을 때 높지는 않아도 항공사고가 발생하면 대형 참사로 이어진다. 항공운송 사고는 국내 운송사고보다 국제 운송사고가 많으며, 사고가 발생하였을 경우에 항공운송인과 여객 또는 송하인 등의 법적 책임에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 항공운송 사고의 법적 규율에 대한 선순위 판단은 항공운송계약의 종류의 구분이다. 항공운송계약은 객체에 따라 항공여객운송계약과 항공물건운송계약으로 분별된다. 특히 항공여객운송 사고는 인명 피해를 발생시키기 때문에 이에 대한 법적 규율에 대한 논의가 더욱 필요하다. 개정 "상법" 항공운송편은 국제항공운송에서 세계적으로 활용되는 조약들의 내용을 우리 실정에 맞게 반영하여 국제적 기준에 맞으면서 체계상으로도 육상 해상 항공 운송을 포괄하는 특징을 갖고 있다. 그러나 "상법"은 운송계약상 항공운송인의 손해배상책임 문제를 규율하는 몬트리올협약을 주로 반영하면서 동 협약이 가지고 있던 문제로 인하여 국내 상황에 맞게 변형 및 생략을 통해 동 협약의 규정을 수용함으로 인해 발생하는 문제들도 생겨나게 되었다. 특히 여객 손해에 대한 손해배상책임의 발생 원인으로서 사고의 개념은 판례의 해석이 반영된 관련 조약과 "상법"에서 어느 정도 명확한 개념 정의가 필요하다고 할 것이다. "상법" 항공운송편의 모법인 몬트리올 협약은 여객의 사망 또는 신체상해의 원인이 된 사고가 '항공기상에서' 또는 '승강을 위한 작업 중' 발생한 경우에 항공운송인의 손해배상책임에 대하여 규정하고 있으며 이는 바르샤바 협약부터 이를 개정한 전 협약에 걸쳐 동일하게 규정되었고 '사고'의 개념 및 '승강을 위한 작업 중'의 범위와 관련하여 지금까지 논란이 계속되고 있는 중이다. 또한 손해배상의 대상 범주인 여객 손해 중 '신체상해'에 여객이 항공운송 중에 입은 정신적 손해를 포함시킬 수 있는지 여부를 두고 논쟁 중이다. 현행법상 신체적 상해의 경우 특정 상황에서 정신적 손해에 대한 배상이 가능하고 항공사고로 인한 발생한 정신적 손해는 중대한 신체적 상해와 같이 피해자로 하여금 정상적인 생활을 할 수 없게 할 만큼 심각한 피해이다. 그래서 여객의 정신적 손해는 관련 조약이나 "상법"상 신체적 상해에 포함하는 것으로 해석할 필요가 있으며 항공운송인의 합리적인 보호와 남소의 예방 측면에서 명백히 증명될 수 있는 정신적 손해만을 배상하여야 할 것이다. 연착 손해의 배상은 바르샤바 협약, 몬트리올 협약, "상법"은 여객 수하물 및 운송물의 연착으로 인한 항공운송인의 손해배상책임 규정은 있지만 연착에 대한 언급을 하고 있지 않기 때문에 연착에 대한 개념 정리가 필요하다. 연착의 개념에 대한 엄격한 해석은 항공운송인의 안전한 운항을 저해할 소지가 있으므로 여객 수하물 또는 운송물이 항공운송계약에 명시된 도착 예정인 공항에 합의된 시간 내에 또는 이러한 합의가 없을 경우 당해 상황을 고려해 선의의 운송인에게 요구할 수 있는 합리적인 시간 내에 도착 또는 인도되지 아니한 경우를 말한다와 같이 정의하는 것이 옳다고 생각한다. 항공사 약관의 손해는 여객 손해는 대한항공의 국제여객운송약관에 의하면 협약이나 기타 법령에서 정하는 경우 이외에 해당하는 항공운송이나 대한항공이 행하는 서비스로부터 여객에게 발생한 손해는 대한항공이 원칙적으로 책임을 부담하지 않고 대한 항공의 태만 또는 고의적인 과실에 기인하여 발생하였다는 사실이 증명되고 동 손해에 여객의 과실이 개재되지 않았다는 점이 판명된 경우에만 책임을 부담한다. 협약 또는 법령에서 정하지 않은 손해의 경우에는 항공사 측의 과실이 증명된 경우에만 책임을 부담한다는 조항인데 대한항공 약관상 '태만' 또는 '고의적인 과실'이라는 용어의 적합성에 대한 판단이 필요하며 중과실이라고 함이 타당하다고 생각된다. 수하물 손해는 대한항공 국제여객운송약관은 여객의 위탁수하물에 포함되어 있는 전자제품 등의 손상 또는 인도의 지연에 대하여 대한항공은 사실을 알고 있는지 여부에 관계없이 책임을 부담하지 않지만 미국을 출발 또는 도착하는 국제선 운송의 경우에는 그렇지 않다. 따라서 미국을 출발 또는 도착하는 국제선 여객을 다른 나라에 출발 또는 도착하는 국제선 여객을 불합리하게 차별하는 것으로 조약의 내용과 동일하게 물품에 대하여 항공사가 책임을 부담하는 방향으로 개정되어야 할 것이다.

The KOMPSAT-2 was developed by KARI and it was successfully launched from Plesetsk, Russia on 28th July 2006. The Korean government decided the commercialization of the KOMPSAT-2 image data and direct reception services worldwide. SPOT Image, based in Toulouse (France) was selected by KARI through an international open bidding as a foreign company for the KOMPSAT-2 image promotion over the entire world except the territory of Republic of Korea including the North Korea, the United States of America, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. KAI (Korea Aerospace Industry Ltd.) is an engaged Korean company for this area. KARI has responsibility to operate the satellite, data acquisition, archiving for the worldwide commercialization. For the processing and delivery of the KOMPSAT-2 image data to the users of KAI and SPOT Image, KAI has the binding contract with KARI. So KAI has the responsibility for the commercial ground station operation such as user support, data processing, and the data delivery. The KOMPSAT-2 ground station is hosted in KARI, so KARI has developed the concept of KOCUST (KOMPSAT-2 Commercial User Support Team) jointly with KAI to support the data processing and delivery as KOMPSAT-2 developer and satellite operator. The main purpose of the KOCUST is to support the operational activities to provide the data and service quality to satisfy customers. KOCUST will be organized by the members of KARI and KAI together. KARI members will mainly take the role of KOCUST coordination, data processing and user support in a public sector. KAI members are going to take user desk, data validation and delivery et cetera, which are related with users. This paper describes a summarized concepts of KOCUST like organization, dedicated tasks of each part and work flow of daily operation.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the consideration factors, from both parties' perspective, to select the most appropriate arbitral institution when they inset an arbitration clause in their contract. Accordingly, the author analyzed the advantages of institutional arbitration compared to non-institutional arbitration. The typical advantages of institutional arbitration would include: $\bullet$ Benefits of using an established set of rules $\bullet$ Services provided by the institution $\bullet$ Low risks of obstruction $\bullet$ Enhancement of the possibilities of enforcement $\bullet$ Forecast of the estimated cost $\bullet$ Specially useful for existing disputes Next, this author examined the consideration factors when selecting the institution in respect of the following factors: $\bullet$ Institution's arbitration rules $\bullet$ Institution's rule regarding the appointment of arbitrators $\bullet$ Ability of administrators of each institution $\bullet$ Reputation of the arbitral institution and the likability of enforceability of its award $\bullet$ Cost $\bullet$ Choice of the arbitral institution in relation to the choice of place of arbitration Finally, this author reviewed Model Arbitration Clause of major international or local Institutions, including ICC, AAA, LCIA, KCAB, CIETAC, ICSID and WIPO. Further examination was given to the selection of the numbers of the arbitral tribunal, the seat of arbitration and the language of arbitration, according to the designated articles in each institution's arbitration rules.

Since new Korean arbitration law was modeledafter UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration Law, the judicial review on the arbitral award is at most limited to fundamental procedural justice. Thus, drafting valid arbitration clause is paramount important to enforce arbitral awards in the new legal environment. A losing party in arbitral process would often claim of the invalidity of arbitration agreement to challenge the arbitral award. Especially, the validity of arbitration clause in the construction contracts is often challenged in Korean courts. This is because the construction contracts usually include selective arbitration agreement in multi-tiered dispute resolution clause that is drafted ambiguous or uncertain. In this paper selective arbitration agreement means a clause in a contract that provides that party may choose arbitration or litigation to resolve disputes arising out of the concerned contract. On the hand multi-tiered dispute resolution clause means a clause in a contract that provides for distinct stages such as negotiation, mediation or arbitration. However, Korean courts are not in the same position on the validity of selective arbitration agreementin multi-tiered dispute resolution clause. Some courts in first instance recognized its validity on the ground that parties still intend to arbitrate in the contract despite the poor drafted arbitration clause. Other courts reject its validity on the ground that parties did not intend to resort to arbitration only with giving up their right to sue at courts to resolve their disputes by choosing selective arbitration agreement. Several cases are recently on pending at the Supreme Courts, which decision is expected to yield the court's position in uniform way. Having reviewed recent Korean courts' decisions on validity and applicability of arbitration agreement, this article suggests that courts are generally in favor of arbitration system It is also found that some courts' decisions narrowly interpreted the concerned stipulations in arbitration law despite they are in favorable position to the arbitration itself. However, most courts in major countries broadly interpret arbitration clause in favor of validity of selective arbitration agreement even if the arbitration clause is poorly drafted but parties are presume to intend to arbitrate. In conclusion it is desirable that selective arbitration agreement should be interpreted favorable to the validity of arbitration agreement. It is time for Korean courts to resolve this issue in the spirit of UNCITRAL model arbitration law which the new Korean arbitration law is based on.

This study is aimed at drawing up improvement measures in connection with the resolution of claims, one of the major constraints in revitalizing South-North Korean economic cooperation. To that end, we first looked at the structure of South-North Korean economic cooperation and the institutional status related to resolving the claims. Also we analyzed the current status of the claims in the process of promoting South-North Korean economic cooperation by companies and the provisions of the claims between the parties in order to derive any problems. Through these research results, we were able to identify directions and implications for efficient improvement of the causes of several South-North Korean economic cooperation claims. First, at the corporate level, there is a need to create specific details of a contract for resolving disputes and to add additional third-party coordination functions in the relevant clause of the contract in preparation for the occurrence of a dispute. In addition, it is necessary to seek ways to advance jointly with corporations in China and other third countries in order to secure stability. Second, the government should continue to discuss ways of promoting South-North Korean commercial arbitration with North Korea so that follow-up measures can be completed as soon as possible. In addition, a two-track strategy is suggested to provide a practical negotiation channel at the private level. Also it is necessary to be active in persuading North Korea to join the international arbitration treaty in preparation for the activation of full-fledged economic exchanges.

Under Article 2 of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision. UCP), letter of credit means an arrangement whereby an issuing bank is to make a payment to a beneficiary, or is to accept and pay bills of exchange drawn by the beneficiary, or authorises another bank to effect such payment, or to accept and pay such bills of exchange, or to negotiate, against stipulated document(s), provided that the terms and conditions of the letter of credit are complied with. In letter of credit operations, all parties concerned deal with documents, and not with goods, services and/or other performances to which the documents may relate (UCP, Article 4). It is important to note that under UCP, if a letter of credit contains conditions without stating the document(s) to be presented in compliance therewith, banks will deem such conditions as not stated and will disregard them (Article 13 c). Section 5-108(g) of the Uniform Commercial Code also contains a similar provision. However on several occasions the Korean Supreme Court held that non-documentary conditions in letter of credit governed by UCP could be regarded as valid, although they were not desirable in the context of letter of credit transactions. The rationale underlying the decisions was that parties to the letter of credit transactions are free to determine the terms and conditions of the relevant letter of credit. After reviewing the relevant provisions of UCP, UCC, the International Standby Practices (ISP98) and the Supreme Court decisions of Korea, the author suggests that we classify conditions that do not require any documents (so called apparent non-documentary conditions) into two categories and treat them differently. There are apparent non-documentary conditions that are consistent with the nature of letter of credit and those which are inconsistent with the nature of letter of credit. In the first category there are two sub-categories, (i) those which are valid and (ii) those which are invalid and thus should be disregarded. In the second category there are two sub-categories, (i) those which are invalid and thus should be disregarded and (ii) those which are valid but deprive the instrument of the nature as letter of credit.
