  • Purpose - This paper analyzes how to interpret the legal view of the precedents to the UK Insurance Act 2015, comparing it to the UK Marine Insurance Act (MIA) 1906 with a focus on the relationship between the duty of uberrimae fidei and the duty of disclosure. Furthermore, this study focuses on the judgment of the Korean Supreme Court in a case, that examined whether the legal nature of the duty of disclosure or duty of uberrimae fidei in insurance law can be considered as a matter related to the insurer's liability when the applicable terms of English law are incorporated under the insurance contract. Design/methodology - This paper belongs to the field of explanatory legal study, which aims to explain and test whether the choice of law is linked to the conditions that occur in the reality of judicial practice. The approach that is used toward this problem is the legal analytical normative approach. The juridical approach involves studying and examining theories, concepts, legal doctrines and legislation that are related to the problem. Findings - Regarding the requirements and effects of breach of the duty of disclosure, if English law and the Korean Commercial Act are handled differently from each other and Korean law is recognized as the applicable law outside of the insurer's liability, it may be whether the insurer's immunity under English law is contrary to s.633 of the Korean Commercial Act. In considering the breach of the duty of disclosure as a matter of the insurer's liability, even if English law is applied as a governing law, the question of how to interpret the agreement of the governing law in this case may also be raised in the interpretation of Korean International Private Law in relation to the applicable law that applies to the rest of the matter, excluding the matters of liability. Originality/value - According to the Korean Supreme Court judgement under the governing law of the MIA 1906, the basis for recognizing the assured's pre-and post-contractual duty of disclosure is separate, and the only important matters to be notified by the assured after the conclusion of the insurance contract are those that are "relevant" and "material circumstances" that are "relevant" to the matter in question after the conclusion of the insurance contract.

  • 이 글은 대법원 2016.1.28. 선고 2015다9769 판결의 검토를 목적으로 한다. 이 사건 연명의료 중단에 관한 이전의 판례에서 대법원은 객관적 요건으로 회생불가능한 사망의 단계와 주관적 요건으로 환자의 동의가 충족되면 의료계약이 해지된다고 보았다. 그러나 환자의 동의는 의료계약 해지에 관한 동의가 아니다. 환자의 의료행위에 대한 동의는 법률행위가 아니다. 그것은 사실행위이다. 만약 연명 의료의 중단에 관한 환자의 추정적 의사가 의료계약의 해지의 의사라면, 의료계약은 연명의료 중단에 관한 소 제기시에 종료하여야 한다. 그런데 대상판결은 의료계약이 일부 해지되었다고 하면서도 진료비채무는 연명의료 허용에 관한 판결이 확정된 때부터 면제된다고 하였다. 이는 논리적으로 맞지 않다. 연명의료의 중단이 허용되면 의료급부 제공이 불가능해지기 때문에 그 부분 진료채무가 면제된다. 급부의 불능은 연명치료 중단에 관한 확정판결이 있는 때에 확정된다. 따라서 연명의료 중단에 관한 확정판결이 있은 때부터 연명의료에 대한 진료비채무가 면제된다고 한 대상판결의 결론은 타당하다. 다만 그 근거는 의료계약의 일부해지가 아니라 일부불능이다.

  • This study is related with the judgements of our country's supremcourt against the transaction of Letter of Credit which is beneficiary's fraudulent trade deal. In this case I think to analyse the judgements and to present the basic grounds on which the judgements were established. In Letter of Credit transaction, there are the major parties, such as, beneficiary, issuing bank, or confirming bank and the other parties such as applicant, negotiating bank, advising bank and paying bank. Therefore, in this cases, the beneficiary, the French Weapons' Supplier who did not shipped the commodities, created the false Bill of Lading, let his dealing bank make payment against the documents presented by him and received the proceeds from the negotiating bank or collecting bank, thereafter was bankrupted and escaped. For the first time, even though the issuing bank conceived that the presented documents were inconsistent with the terms of L/C. it did not received the payment approval from the applicant against all the discrepancies, made the negotiating bank pay the proceeds to exporter and thereafter, delivered the documents to the applicant long after the time of the issuing bank's examination of documents. The applicant who received the documents from the issuing bank, instantly did not examine the documents and inform to the issuing bank whether he accepted the documents or not. Long time after, applicant tried to clear the goods through custom when he knew the bill of ladings were false and founded out the documents had the other discrepancies which he did not approved. As the results, the applicant, Korea Army Transportation Command claimed, that the issuing bank must refund his paid amount because issuing bank examined the documents unreasonably according to u.c.p 500 Act 13th, 14th. In spite of the applicant's claim, the issuing bank argued that it paid the proceeds of L/C reasonably after receiving the applicant's approval of an discrepancy of document, the delayed shipment, but for concerning the other discrepancies, the trivial ones, the applicant did not examined the document and noticed the discrepancies in reasonable time. Therefore the applicant sued the issuing bank for refunding it's paid proceeds of L/C. Originally, this cases were risen between Korea Exchange Bank and Korea Army Transportation Command. As result of analysing the case, the contents of the case case have had same procedure actually, but the lower courts, the district and high courts all judged the issuing bank was reasonable and did not make an error. As analysing these supreme court's judgements, the problem is that whether there are the applicant's liability of examining the documents and informing its discrepancies to the issuing bank or not, and if the applicant broke such a liabilities, it lost the right of claiming the repayment from issuing bank. Finally to say, such applicant's liabilities only must be existed in case the documents arrived to the issuing bank was delivered to the applicant within the time of the documents examination according to u.c.p 500 Act 14, d. i. But if any the documents were delivered to applicant after time of the documents examination, the applicant had not such liabilities because eventhough after those time the applicant would have informed to the issuing bank the discrepancies of documents, the issuing bank couldn't receive repayment of its paid proceeds of document from the negotiating bank. In the result after time of issuing bank's examination of documents, it is considered that there's no actual benefit to ask the applicant practice it's liability. Therefore finally to say. I concluded that the Suprem Court's judgement was much more reasonable. In the following, the judgements of the supreme court would be analysed more concretely, the basic reasons of the results be explained and the way of protecting such L/C transaction would be presented.

CMIT/MIT 함유 가습기 살균제 제품의 제조 및 판매기업 형사판결 1심 재판 판결문에 대한 과학적 고찰 (II) - 동물실험, 폐 손상 판정기준, 개인 인과 (A Scientific Critique of a Korean Court's Acquittal for Involuntary Manslaughter Related to 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one/2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one (CMIT/MIT), a Humidifier Disinfectant (HD) Part II: Animal experiments, criteria for HD lung injury, and causality on individual levels)

  • Objectives: In January 2021, the former heads of the manufacturer SK Chemical and the vendor Aekyung were acquitted for manufacturing and selling humidifier disinfectant (HD) containing 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one/2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one (CMIT/MIT). In this article, we analyzed the rationale used in this judgement in the light of scientific consideration. Methods: The sentencing document for the judgements was obtained from the Korea Supreme Court Service. In particular, the judgements made by the court related to the toxicological and individual association with HD perspectives were discussed based on scientific evidence. Results: The ruling stated that the necessary conditions for causality between CMIT/MIT and such diseases were not met based on the fact that asthma and lung damage were not found in the inhalation exposure animal experiments. The judgment overlooked the inevitable limitations of using animal experiments for verifying health effects in humans, which are often inconsistent with the observations in animals. Among 11 governmentaffirmed lung injury cases with CMIT/MIT usage, three patients' humidifier disinfectant-associated lung injury (HDLI) pathology proved that CMIT/MIT could cause lung injury similar to that caused by PHMG and PGH. In addition, five children showed decreased lung function related to damage caused by humidifier disinfectant exposure. Conclusions: We conclude that there is sufficient evidence supporting the assertion that HDs containing CMIT/MIT cause lung injuries, including asthma, contrary to the court's decision.

  • 조망권에 관한 일반법리를 전개한 후 판례를 조망권 침해를 이유로 한 공사금지가처분신청사건, 손해배상청구사건, 건물철거청구사건 등으로 분류하여 살펴보았다. 피해자들이 조망권 침해만을 문제 삼는 경우보다는 일조권 침해와 더불어 소송을 제기하는 경우가 많았다. 법원은 조망권 관련사건을 심리하던 초기에 교육환경이나 종교환경과 관련되는 조망권 침해사건에서 일정층수 이상의 공사를 금지하는 가처분을 인용하면서 조망이익이 일정한 요건하에서 법적으로 보호받을 수 있음을 밝혔다. 조망권 침해에 기한 손해배상을 하급심에서는 인정하는 경우가 있었으나, 대법원에서는 아직 이를 받아들이지 않고 있다. 영업용이 아니면서 조망을 위하여 특별히 건축되지 않은 주거용 건물에서 조망권 침해가 문제되는 경우 '경관조망권'의 인정은 그 요건이 충족되지 않아 인정하지 않더라도 '천공조망권'은 당해 요건이 충족되면 인정해야 할 것이다. 이러한 조치는 조망권 침해에 따른 주택가격의 하락이라는 기존 주택 거주자들의 현실적인 손해를 보전해 주는 기능을 수행할 수 있을 것이다. 최근에 이른바 '덕소현대아파트사건'에서 법원은 조망의 개념을 '경관조망'과 '천공조망'으로 구분하고 있으나, 이른바 '리바뷰아파트사건'에서는 원심법원과 달리 대법원은 이를 구분하고 있지 않다. 천공조망권의 인정여부에 관한 이러한 대법원 재판부간의 견해 차이는 조정되어야 할 것이다.

  • 대학 산학협력단이 대학교수에게 지급하는 다양한 형태의 직무발명 보상금을 소득세법상 어떤 소득으로 취급하여 과세해야 하는지 논란이 있어왔다. 본 연구에서는 대학 직무발명 보상금에 대한 소득세 과세가 일관성 없게 처리되는 현실을 인식하고, 보상금의 성격을 명확히 설시한 대법원 판례가 나온 것을 계기로 직무발명 보상금 과세와 관련한 여러 쟁점을 검토하였다. 또한, 검토 결과를 바탕으로 기술발전을 촉진한다는 측면에서 연구개발 과정에서 도출되는 다양한 형태의 지식재산에 대해 그 기술이전 보상금이 비과세될 수 있도록 소득세법 개정안을 제안하였다. 대학 직무발명 보상금은 그 성격상 사업소득이나 근로소득이 아닌 기타소득으로 보는 것이 타당하고, 특허등록 여부에 관계없이 비과세되어야 하며, 상표권이나 저작권의 대상인 컴퓨터프로그램은 비과세에서 제외되되 대법원 판례의 태도를 기초로 할 때 기술적 노하우는 비과세되는 기타소득으로 취급될 여지가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, "기술의 이전 및 사업화 촉진에 관한 법률"상 기술에 관한 정의를 인용하도록 소득세법을 개정하면 신지식재산 노하우 등 그 동안 누락되었던 기술이전 형태가 비과세 범주로 포함될 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • 대법원은 2004추65(2005년 9월 28일 선고)에서 "좁은 수로 항법은 좁은 수로에서의 선박의 충돌을 효과적으로 예방하기 위하여 선박의 종류나 기상 상황 등에 관계없이 적용되는 특별항법으로서 조종제한선이라고 하여 적용이 배제되지 아니하므로, 좁은 수로에서는 상대 선박으로부터 진로 우선권을 양보 받았다는 등 다른 특별한 사정이 없는 한, 조종제한선이라고 하여 좁은 수로 항법을 지키는 선박에 대한 진로 우선권이 보장되는 것은 아니다"고 판결 하고 있다. 이것은 선박 사이의 책무 규정과 좁은 수로 항법 해석에 혼란을 야기할 여지가 있다. 따라서 이 논문은 좁은 수로 항법과 선박 사이의 책무 규정에 관하여 올바른 해석론적 방향을 제시하고자 대법원 판례를 중심으로 좁은 수로에서의 조종제한선의 항법상 지위에 관하여 논하고자 한다.

Vietnamese Syncretism and the Characteristics of Caodaism's Chief Deity: Problematising Đức Cao Đài as a 'Monotheistic' God Within an East Asian Heavenly Milieu

  • Caodaism is a new religion from Vietnam which began in late 1925 and spread rapidly across the French colony of Indochina. With a broad syncretic aim, the new faith sought to revivify Vietnamese religious traditions whilst also incorporating religious, literary, and spiritist influences from France. Like Catholicism, Caodaism kept a strong focus on its monotheistic nature and today Caodaists are eager to label their religion a monotheism. It will be argued here, however, that the syncretic nature of this new faith complicates this claim to a significant degree. To make this argument, we will consider here the nature of God in Caodaism through two central texts from two important stages in the life of the religion. The first is the canonized Compilation of Divine Messages which collects a range of spirit messages from God and some other divine voices. These were received in the early years of the faith. The second is a collection of sermons from 1948/9 that takes Caodaist believers on a tour of heaven, and which is entitled The Divine Path to Eternal Life. It will be shown that in the first text, God speaks in the mode of a fully omnipotent and omniscient supreme being. In the second text, however, we are given a view of paradise that is much more akin to the court of a Jade Emperor within an East Asian milieu. In these realms, the personalities of other beings and redemptive mechanisms claim much of our attention, and seem to be a competing center of power to that of God. Furthermore, God's consort, the Divine Mother, takes on a range of sacred creative prerogatives that do something similar. Additionally, cadres of celestial administrators; buddhas, immortals, and saints help with the operation of a cosmos which spins on with guidance from its own laws. These laws form sacred mechanisms, such as cycles of reincarnation and judgement. These operate not in the purview of God, but as part of the very nature of the cosmos itself. In this context, the dualistic, polytheistic, and even automatic nature of Caodaism's cosmos will be considered in terms of the way in which they complicate this religion's monotheistic claims. To conclude, this article seeks to demonstrate the precise relevance of the term 'monotheism' for this religion.

  • L/C transaction, the most important issue for the seller and the buyer is the theory of documentary transaction and the theory of strict compliance which are the principles of L/C transactions. According to the leading cases in England and America where the practice of L/C transactions was created and developed, the descriptions of the commodities specified on all the documents which are submitted based on an L/C, should be identical to the descriptions of commodities specified in the L/C. And further, many leading cases of L/C continuously repeat to emphasize strict compliance. However, the recent leading cases in and out of the country show that the principle of strict compliance is being weakened. The leading cases in America show two trends of weakening the principle of strict compliance. That is, on the contrary to strict compliance, tends to apply substantial compliance (which puts more value on the substance of the documents). These leading cases reflect the attitudes of the judicial and the legislative authorization that don't want to approve formal approach to the commercial law. Recently, the Supreme Court of Korea is giving a decision on the principle of strict compliance, "The documents attached to an L/C should strictly comply with the conditions in the L/C, but it doesn't mean that they should be perfectly identical without any mistake in words. In case the bank can understand through reasonable care that a small mistake in words is too trivial to give different meaning or to give damage to the conditions of the L/C, the documents are regarded to comply with the conditions of the L/C. However, the judgment should be based on whether the difference between the documents and the L/C can be admitted by the international standard bank transaction practice or not." This decision tells that the principle of strict compliance is quite much modified so application of this modification can't be ignored. However, from the viewpoint of the party who requests to open an L/C, there is a criticism that a bank's arbitrary judgement can be involved. Therefore, reviewing the original purpose of L/C transactions (activating international transactions), the principle of strict compliance may be thought old-fashioned because it emphasizes a form, but in reality, for prompt transaction and payment, the principle of strict compliance should be observed in L/C transactions. And further, if a legislative device is prepared to systematically compensate for several side-effects, the principle of strict compliance will improve dynamic flow of prompt and low-costly L/C transactions. On the other hand, it will be able to protect the interested parties.

  • 연구대상판결은, (1) 상속재산분할은 그 성질상 협의의 성립과 동시에 종료하고 그 후에는 그 협의에서 그 채무를 부담한 상속인과 그 채권을 취득한 상속인 간의 채권채무관계가 남을 뿐이라는 점, (2) 협의분할의 법정해제를 인정할 경우 소급효를 갖는 상속재산의 재분할이 불가피하게 되어 법적 안정성이 크게 저해된다는 점을 근거로 하여, 협의분할의 법정해제를 부정하였다. 그러나 (1) 상속재산협의분할은 실질적으로 공동상속인 상호 간의 지분교환 양도 포기에 상당한 처분의 성질을 가진다는 점, (2) 공동상속인 전원에 의한 협의분할의 합의해제에 있어서도 소급효를 갖는 상속재산의 재분할이 불가피함에도 불구하고 합의해제의 유효성을 인정하는 데 아무런 이론(異論)이 없다는 점에서, 협의분할이 실질적으로 공동상속인 간의 부담부증여와 같은 성질을 가지는 경우에는 협의분할에 대한 법정해제도 인정하는 것이 온당하다. 다만, 상속재산분할협의는 공동상속인 전원이 참여해야만 성립되는 계약이므로, 협의분할시 상속인 일방이 부담한 채무의 불이행을 이유로 하는 협의분할의 법정해제도 그 일방을 제외한 다른 공동상속인 전원의 의사표시에 의해서만 가능하다고 보아야 한다.
