  • 현대산업사회에서 화물운송은 종래 대규모 완제품을 대량으로 운송하던 것과 달리, 소비자의 다양한 요구를 반영하여 여러 종류의 소규모 화물을 빈번하게 수송하는 것이 특징이라 할 수 있는데, 그러한 화물 운송업의 시류를 잘 반영하고 있는 것이 국제특송이라 할 것이다. 특히 해외 진출기업 및 유학생의 증가와 더불어 세계적인 한류 열풍, 해외 쇼핑몰을 통한 반입 물자의 증가 등으로 국제택배산업은 매년 10% 이상 성장하는 고성장산업이다. 국제특송에 관하여 현재까지 우리나라에서는 항공법에 '상업서류 송달업'으로 규정하여 근거규정을 두고 있었다. 하지만 동 규정에 대해 항공법과 연결되어 있는 우편법이 신서송달의 예외로 종전과 달리 '외국과 특급배달서비스를 이용하여 수발하는 서류'를 새롭게 추가하였으므로, 항공법상 상업서류 송달업에 관한 개정도 불가피한 상황에 놓이게 되었다. 항공법상 상업서류 송달업에 관한 규정을 개정하는 방안으로 항공법 특히 현재 제정안이 공포된 "항공사업법"상에 그 명칭을 변경하거나 문구를 수정하는 방안이 선행되어야 할 것이고, 이러한 근거규정의 정비와 별도로 당사자간의 권리와 의무, 사업자의 손해배상책임에 관한 새로운 입법을 모색하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다. 사견으로는 향후 택배관련 입법에 상업서류 송달업 즉, 국제특송업에 관한 내용을 추가하는 것을 제안한다. 국제특송업에 관한 입법에서는 먼저 국제특송업에 관한 개념 정의가 필요하다. 국제특송업은 운송주선적 측면과 운송적 측면을 동시에 가지고 있고, 필연적으로 육상과 항공의 복합운송이라는 점에서 독립적인 지위가 확인된다. 또한 국제특송 사업자의 손해배상책임에 관한 책임제한액과 관련하여, 현재 시행되고 있는 사업자의 약관은 대체적으로 항공운송인의 책임제한원칙을 가감없이 수용하고 있다. 항공운송이 전체 국제특송운송에서 필수적인 부분을 차지하는 점에서 이러한 책임원칙의 도입은 불가피할 것으로 보이나, 특송물품의 특성상 일반적인 항공화물과는 차이가 있어야 할 것이다. 사견으로는 송하인이 국제특송계약을 체결하는 시점에 추가 요금을 지급하고 별도의 보험에 가입함으로써 운송물의 손해발생 시에 고가의 손해배상금을 수령할 수 있는 제도를 활성화하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각한다.

  • October 4, 1957 the Soviet Sputnik 1 was launched into space the first time in the history of mankind. After launching, the realm of humankind was expanded to space. Today all countries of the world wage a fierce competition in order to utilize space for various purposes. World powers of space such as United States, Russia, China, and Japan, put reconnaissance satellites and ocean surveillance satellites into orbit, being able to easily see equipment and troops movement on earth. Each country makes efforts to occupy space assets through the militarization of space and expand national interests. Recently private companies or individuals involved in commercial space activities are becoming more prevalent. Thus, in addition to space activities for military purposes, commercial space activities become widespread. Individuals and private companies as well as nations are also involved in space activities. Outer space is not the monopoly of space powers such as the United States and Russia. The whole human race can benefit from free access to space, being the common heritage of mankind. In particular, outer space becomes an indispensable element of military activities and human life. Many countries are now entering space development, putting a lot of budget into new development programs. Republic of Korea also built the Narodo Space Center, starting its space development with budget and manpower. We have to find out ways to use space not only for military purposes but also for commercial space activities that can contribute to the national economy. In addition, through the joint efforts of the international community, we have to make efforts for preservation and peaceful use of space. Various issues relating to space activities and research should be studies in order to contribute to the progress of humanity. Those issues include the definition of outer space, space debris reduction and environmental conservation issues, non-bind measure cooperation - European International Code of Conduct, space law and national legislation related empowerment issues, arms control measures in space, and restrictions on the use of nuclear fuel. We also need to be involved in the discussion of those issues as one of responsible space countries. In addition, we try to find out regional cooperation schemes such as the ESA in the Europe actively. Currently in the Northeast Asia, cooperation bodies led by Japan and China respectively, are operated in the confrontational way. To avoid such confrontation, a new cooperative body needs to be established for cooperation on space exploration and information. The system to allow the exchange of satellite information for early warning of natural disasters needs to be built as well. In addition, efforts to enhance the effectiveness of the relevant international treaties on space, and fill in the blanks in international space laws should be made at the same time. To this end, we have to do a leading role in the establishment of standards such as non-binding measures (resolution) - Code of Conduct, being discussed in the UN and other organizations, and compliance with those standards. Courses in aerospace should be requires in law schools and educational institutes, and professional manpower need to be nurtured. In addition, the space-related technology and policy needs to be jointly studied among the private, public, and military groups, and the cross exchange among them should be encouraged.

  • If the existence and effect of the arbitration agreement becomes an issue in international business transactions, it is the key point how we shall determine the applicable law by national rules for the conflict of laws, or by other methods. The argument in determination of the applicable law to the existence and effect of the arbitration agreement is related to regal nature of the arbitration agreement. As there are foreign factors in international arbitration, therefore we must consider such an aspect. Besides, we have to examine whether the general theory of contract is universally applicable to the arbitration agreement. Currently, it is the general trend that the party's autonomy principle is applicable in determining the applicable law for the arbitration agreement. However, it is a difficult problem to recognize the applicable law chosen by the parties, whether it is based on any regal standard(for example New York Convention or the private international law or the essential quality of the arbitration agreement). In the light of the actual transactions, when the parties don't make a choice of the applicable law expressly, it will finally come down to presuming the party's implied intent. Nevertheless, finding the implied intent is a difficult problem. Some argue that we shall presume the choice of applicable law by an objective standard such as a place of arbitration, to prevent too much expansion of the scope of the recognition. But we need to review that this interpretation harmonizes with the principle of party autonomy. Especially, if we desire to detect the vital point where it is most closely linked to the arbitration agreement, we have to inquire how we will decide such a relation by means of any standard. However, as the existing Arbitration Act doesn't offer the solution to these issues, therefore we have to settle these problems through the development of adjudications and theories.

The U.S. Supreme Court Finally Limits the Scope of Judicial Assistance in Private International Arbitral Proceedings Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1782 in its Recent Decision of ZF Auto. US, Inc., v. Luxshare, Ltd., 596 U.S. ___ (2022)

  • Until recently, there has been a circuit split as to whether parties to foreign private arbitral proceedings could seek assistance from the U.S. courts for discovery pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1782. The circuit courts have differed on the issue of whether a private arbitral proceeding may be considered a "proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal" in terms of the statute, which would ultimately allow or disallow judicial assistance in taking of evidence by the U.S. district courts for use in the requested proceedings. While the U.S. Supreme Court has addressed the applicability of §1782 in its Intel decision in 2004, it had not established a test as to what constitutes a foreign or international tribunal for the purposes of §1782, thereby leaving it open for lower courts to continue to interpret §1782 in their own ways, as requests for judicial assistance in taking of evidence are filed. In the recent decision of ZF Auto. US, Inc., v. Luxshare, Ltd., the Supreme Court has finally clarified that in order for an arbitral panel to be a "foreign or international tribunal" under §1782, such panels must exercise governmental authority conferred by one nation or multiple nations. Therefore, private commercial arbitral panels are not "foreign or international tribunal(s)" for the purposes of §1782 because they do not constitute governmental or intergovernmental adjudicative bodies. Such holding is necessary and legitimate for interested parties in international arbitration, as well as, potential parties of arbitration who are contemplating alternative dispute resolution for their dispute(s).

독점규제법 관련분쟁의 중재의 대상적격 (The Arbitrability of the Subject-matter of a Dispute on the Antitrust Law)

  • It is a matter for debate that which types of dispute may be resolved by arbitration. This problem is concerning the arbitrability of the subject-matter of a dispute. National laws establish the domain of arbitration. Each state decides which matters may or may not be resolved by arbitration in accordance with its own political, social and economic policy. In response to complexity and diversity of a social phenomenon, the dispute also is various, therefore can not be settled efficiently by means of court adjudication to which applies a law strictly. To overcome such problems we are going to seek to make use of arbitration. According to Korean Arbitration Act Art. 3 (1), any dispute in private laws would be the object of arbitral proceedings. For the promotion of fair and free competition, it is increasingly wide-ranging antitrust legislation across the world. It is matter for debate what can an arbitral tribunal do when confronted with an allegation that the contract under which the arbitration is brought is itself an illegal restraint of trade or in some other way a breach of antitrust law. The underlying question is how to accommodate the conflicting congressional policies favoring resolution of private controversies by arbitration and encouraging private suits to protect the public interests served by the antitrust laws. It is necessary to inquire into the arbitrability of antitrust issues on case-by-case basis, because the types of them are quite diverse. If antitrust issues are the dispute in private laws and the contracting parties agreed to submit to arbitration disputes which have arisen or which may arise between them in the antitrust issues, the antitrust disputes are arbitrable. Not only international antitrust disputes but also domestic antitrust disputes are capable of being resolved by arbitration. When the public interests in the enforcement of antitrust legislation are asserted, it is possible to justify the annulment or the refusal of the recognition or the enforcement of an arbitral award that ignores public policy as a matter of it.

  • 종래의 우주활동은 국가주도의 우주개발을 통해 과학적 혹은 군사적 목적의 활동이 커다란 비중을 차지해 왔으나 점차 우주의 실용적 이용 내지 실용화에 이르는 과정에서 민간기업이 참여하는 상업적 우주활동이 현격한 증가를 보게 되었고 다수의 국가들이 독자적으로 또는 민간기업과의 협력이나 지역적 기구와의 공동사업을 통해서 우주의 상업적인 활용에 가담하고 있다. 그 발전의 폭도 원격탐사, 우주통신, 우주발사 서비스 및 제조업, 에너지 생산분야, 우주운송 및 보험 등 다양한 영역으로 확대일로에 있다. 그런 가운데 특히 각국은 우주의 상업화가 불기피한 발전방향이라는 점을 인식하면서 요람기의 우주산업을 육성하는데 노력을 경주해 오는 한편 국제적인 측면에서는 주로 안전 보장을 위한 고려에서부터 자국의 활동에 관한 국제적 책임(우주조약 제6조)을 이행하기위한 목적으로 우주산업에 대해 엄격한 국가적 규제에 따르도록 해온 것이 사실이다. 이러한 우주에서의 상업적 활동 내지 민간차원의 이용이 우주조약 등 관련 우주국제법의 적용을 받는 우주활동인가 여부에 관해서는 국내외적으로 논란이 있었던 것은 사실이지만 앞서도 논한 바 있듯이 우주조약에서 규정하고 있는 바대로 모든 국가와 전 인류의 이익을 위해 수행되어야 하는 우주활동속에 포함되는 것으로 보아야 할 것이다. 여기서 주목해야 될 것은 상업적 활동 내지 민간차원의 우주이용에 관해 우주국제법의 태도이다. 물론 민간기업의 형태를 취한 상업우주발사활동을 규제하는 일반국제우주법의 규칙은 아직 명료하지 않다. 게다가 상업적 이용의 진전에 따라 대두되는 문제에 대해서 기존의 우주국제법이 한계점을 드러내고 있는 것이 주지의 사실이고 새로이 생성중에 있는 법규범과도 상호 모순되거나 입법적 불비가 있을 수 있는 만큼 이를 극복할 수 방안이 국제 공동체의 부단한 노력을 통해 마련되어야 할 것이다. 현재 우주조약이나 책임협약 등 우주관련 조약에 따르면 기본적으로 국가는 비정부단체나 개인 등의 우주활동에서 야기되는 모든 손해에 대해 국제책임을 지는 것을 원칙으로 하고 있는 바 이를 위해 각 국가는 국내적으로 그들의 활동에 대한 감독책임을 부담하고 있으며 이는 구체적으로는 장차 우주의 상업적 이용을 허가 및 규제하는 당해국가들의 국내법에 반영되어야 할 것이다. 그밖에도 앞서 본 각국의 국내법적 차원에서의 정비도 법리적인 측면에서나 국제협력의 관점에서 기존의 우주국제법과 조화를 이루도록 해야 하겠지만 일반국제법 내지 특별우주법규칙에 있어서도 상업적 우주활동의 발전 추세에 부합하고 또한 양 법체계가 조화를 이룰 수 있도록 재검토하고 경우에 따라 새로운 법제를 마련해야할 필요성도 제기되고 있다.

  • European Commission drafted and proposed the Common European Sales Law(CESL) to the European Parliament for the realization of a uniform set of international private law rules within the EU internal market. Since its purpose is for free international commercial activities for the sale of goods, for the supply of digital content and for related services, it was proposed to enable EU Member States to adopt or supplement as their substantive law according to their options. This study is relate to the legal bases on termination of a contract under CESL, they are composed of three parts: damages and interest, restitution and prescription. Damages and interest are divided into damages, general provisions on interest on late payments, and late payment by traders. Damages are explained by dividing into right to damages, general measure of damages, foreseeability of loss, loss attributable to creditor, reduction of loss, substitute transaction, and current price. Restitution is described by dividing into restitution on revocation, payment for monetary value, payment for use and interest on money received, compensation for expenditure and equitable modification. Prescription is explained by dividing into general provisions, periods of prescription and their commencement and extension of periods of prescription. General provisions explain right subject to prescription into a right to enforce performance of an obligation and any right ancillary to such a right. Regarding period of prescription, the short one is two years and the long one is ten years. However, in the case of a right to damages for personal injuries, period of prescription for such right is thirty years. Regarding commencement, the short one begins to run from the time when the creditor has become, or could be expected to have become, aware of the facts as a result of which the right can be exercised, while the long one begins to run from the time when the debtor has to perform. However, in the case of a right to damages, the CESL clarifies that it begins to run from the time of the act which gives rise the right.

  • Currently, it is the general trend that the party's autonomy principle is applicable in determining the applicable law for the international private law and the international commercial arbitration. The purpose of this article is to make research on the party's autonomy principle for the international commercial arbitral awards. For this purpose ist to analyse regal issue the applicability of the lex mercatoria and the possibility of $d\acute{e}pe\c{c}age$ relating to the party autonomy. In this Article ist dealt with Art. 29 para. 1 of the Korean Arbitration Act in comparison with Art. 28 para. 1 UNCITRAL Model Law and Art. 1051 para. 1 of the German Code of Civil Procedure. The Art. 28 para. 1 UNCITRAL Model Law and Art. 1051 para. 1 of the German Code of Civil Procedure provides equally. "The arbitral tribunal shall decide the dispute in accordence with such 'rules of law' as chosen by the parties as applicable to the substance of the dispute. Any designation of the law or legal system of a given State shall be construed, unless otherwise expressed, as directly referring to the substantive law of that State and not to its conflict of laws rules." The term 'rule of law' used to describe the applicability of the lex mercatoria and the possibility $d\acute{e}pe\c{c}age$. Unlike Art. 28 para. 1 UNCITRAL Model Law and Art. 1051 para.1 of the German Code of Civil Procedure. Act, Art. 29(1) of the Korean Arbitration Act provides that the arbitral tribunal shall decide the dispute in accordence with the 'law' chosen by the parties as applicable to the substance of the dispute. However the majority view in Korea takes the position that the term 'law' should be interpreted broadly so as to encompass 'rules of law' at UNCITRAL Model Law and the German Code of Civil Procedure.
