Generally, the liability for breach is defined as the civil liability that arises from the conduct of violation of a contract. There are two notable principles governing liability for breach that have fundamental impacts on the unified Contract Law of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter Chinese Contract Law) in the remedies. In China, during the drafting of the Contract Law, there was a great debate as to whether damages for breach of contract ought to follow the fault principle or to follow the strict liability principle. Ultimately the Chinese Contract Law follows the model of the CISG on this point, namely, it follows the strict liability principle (article 107) with an exemption cause of force majeure. Under Chinese Contract Law, it is interpreted as strict liability in principle. Strict Liability is a notion introduced into Chinese Contract Law from the Anglo-Saxon Law. The strict liability or no fault doctrine, on the contrary, allows a party to claim damages if the other party fails to fulfill his contractual obligations regardless of the fault of the failing party. Pursuant to the strict liability doctrine, if the performance of a contract is due, any non-performance will constitute a breach and the fault on the party in breach is irrelevant. This paper reviews problems of legal character or legal ground of contractual liability in Chinese contract law. Specifically, focusing on the interpretation of Chinese contract law sections and analysis of three cases related contractual liability in freight agency, the paper proposes some implications of structural features of Chinese contract law and international commercial transactions.

The purpose of this study is to improve regulations such as law and standard contract forms related to defects liability in Korea. Defects liability has been one of the major causes of construction contract disputes in Korea in recent years. It is important to avoid or resolve disputes regarding defects liability through regulations containing clear criteria and to specify the standard regarding the mitigation and remission of the contractor's defects liability. This study was carried out through document research and analysis of judicial precedents. The following are the courses of improvement regarding the mitigation and remission of defects liability in Korea. First, laws and standard contract forms must contain more detailed clauses regarding exemption of a contractor's defects liability, which clearly set out the scope of the defects liability of the contractor. Second, the current system for defects liability favors the owner rather than the contractor - it is necessary to change the defects liability system in order to give the owner and the contractor an equal standing. Third, strict liability is taken on by the contractor even when the term of guarantee for defects lasts longer than the legally set period of liability for defects. Hence, it is necessary to improve the system by alleviating the liability of the contractor through applying negligence liability as opposed to strict liability during the term of guarantee.

A contract for the shipbuilding is usually a complicated and involves statement of rights, obligations and responsibilities which each party agrees vis-a vis the other. The ultimate purpose of the contract is the sale and transfer of the finished ship by the builder to the buyer. Contracts for the construction and sale of ships are categorized as contracts for the sale of goods under English, United States, Germany and some countries law. On the other hand, The shipbuilding contract may be classified, not as a contract of sale but as a contract for work and materials under Korea, Japan and some countries law. Especially, most of countries are now well settled with regard to liability of a manufacturer in tort for physical injury and on the other for pure economic loss to remote owners of chattels. Where there is either a breach of contractual warranty or an implied warranty, there may be admiralty jurisdiction, depending once again on the situs of the event and its relationship to traditional maritime activity. Contract principles will be applied to the first type of warranty and tort principles will be applied to the second. First of all, this thesis is dealt with the contents of contract under English Law. Secondly, this thesis is analysed into the liability of shipbuilder in Products Liability under English, American and Korean Law comparisons.

Liability for the manufacture or supply of defective products can arise in two principle ways, in tort and in contract. English law has long regarded shipbuilding contract as agreement for the sale and purchase of goods. The consequence of which is that unless the Buyer and Builder agree otherwise, terms will automatically be implied into the contract between them as to the quality and performance of the completed vessel. The same principle applies to sub-contracts allied to the shipbuilding contract. On the other hand, one case decisions established that ".... a contract to build a ship, though a contract of sale of goods, has also some characteristics of a building contract", Recently the liability of a manufacturer in tort for physical damage i.e. personal injury and damage to property other than alleged to be defective is now well settled in most countries. Accordingly the Builder may face third party claims in tort more regularly than they have in the past, if the statutory implied terms have not been expressly excluded in contract. In such circumstances, it is necessary for the Builder to be prepared with counter measures to secure the stability of the vessel from its design development, building process, delivery and operation etc. The purpose of this paper is, from the case of "MSC Carla", to review product liability, jurisdiction and the initial date of extinctive prescription, then to suggest counter measures to the Builder.

선박건조계약은 일반적으로 각 당사자의 권리와 의무 및 상대방에 대한 책임 등에 대하여 내용이 상당히 복잡하고 구체적으로 규정되며, 계약의 최종 목적은 선박 건조자가 완성된 선박을 매수인인 선주에게 이전하는 것이다. 이 계약은 영국법, 미국법, 개정독일민법(BGB), 그리고 기타 여러국가의 법에서 매매계약으로 보고 있으며, 반면에 한국과 일본 그밖의 여러국가에서는 도급계약으로 취급한다. 특별히 최근 여러 국가에서 안전상 사람에 대하여 상해를 일으킨 경우, 불법행위에 의한 제조자의 제조물책임이 잘 정착되어 있는 실정이다. 반면, 제3자에 대한 순수 경계적인 손실에 대해서는 그 물건의 소유자에게 그 책임이 확대되었다. 해사사건에 있어서 계약상 워런티나 묵시적인 워런티를 위반한 경우, 사건의 장소나 전통적인 해사 관련성에 의하여 해사재판관할권이 적용되어 진다. 즉 물품의 하자와 관련된 사건인 경우, 계약법상 워런티가 첫째 유형으로 적용되고, 불법행위에 의한 것은 두 번째 유형으로 적용된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 먼저 선박건조계약상 건조자의 계약책임에 대하여 영국법을 중심으로 고찰하고 다음으로 영국, 미국, 독일, 그리고 한국의 제조물책임법을 비교하여 결론적으로 각국들의 제조물책임에 대한 한국 조선소들의 대응전략을 제시함을 본 논문의 목적으로 한다

The culpa in contrahendo is a doctrine that "damages should be recoverable against the party whose blameworthy conduct during negotiations for a contract brought about its invalidity or prevented its perfection". In China, Chinese Civil law gradually adopted Culpa in Contrahendo under the former 'economic contract law' and the 'general rules of the civil law', then the legal system of culpa in contrahendo was formally established under Contract Law of the People's Republic of China(CLPRC) in 1999. To put it concretely, Art. 42, 43, 58 of the Chinese Civil Law expressly establishes a culpa in contrahendo liability derived from a principle of good faith governing pre-contractual negotiations. however, in general, culpa in contrahendo has been recognized a independent legal liability as distinct from contractual default liability and torts liability. This article provides a general description of the characteristics of culpa in contrahendo under Chinese Contract Law, and both theoretical issues that have arisen in Chinese academics and relevant important precedent in Chinese Courts. This article also analyzed trend of judgment on precedents that the Supreme Peoples's Court of the PRC applied culpa in contrahendo.

공공건설사업은 국가경제에서 막대한 영향을 미치며, 투입되는 인력도 다양하다. 그리고 공공건설사업이 복잡해지고 다양해짐에 따라 하자발생 가능성이 매우 높다. 그러나 수급인이 부담하는 하자에 대한 책임을 민법과 국가계약법령에서 채무불 이행책임과 하자담보책임으로 이원화하고 있음으로 인해 해석내용이 다양하며, 실제 건설현장에서는 하자책임에 대한 해석이 불분명함으로 인해 분쟁의 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하자책임과 관련하여 해외의 동향을 살펴본 후, 우리나라 민법 및 국가계약법령의 하자책임 및 그와 관련된 문제점을 살펴보고, 하자에 대한 수급인의 책임정립방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구 결과 도출된 공공건설사업의 하자에 대한 수급인의 책임 정립방향을 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 하자 발생시 하자에 대한 책임을 불완전이행으로 인한 채무불이행책임으로 일원화하여 수급인에게 적용하는 것이 바람직하다. (2) 손해배상의 범위는 보수비의 과다 및 하자의 중요성을 고려하여 결정해야 한다. (3) 소멸시효의 기준이 되는 하자책임시점은 계약이행중에는 기성검사이후부터 불완전이행으로 인한 채무불이행책임을 부담시키고 있으므로, 기성검사를 완료한 날부터 기산할 수 있다. (4) 현행 계약이행보증제도의 하자보수책임을 제외하고 계약이행도중 기성검사를 완료한 부분에 발생하는 하자를 담보하기 위하여 유보금제도를 도입해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

건설사업에서 공공건설사업은 국가계약법령에 의해 집행되고 있고, 계약유형으로 볼 때 도급, 위임, 고용 등 복합적인 계약성질을 띠고 있으므로, 수급인의 하자책임을 단일화하여 규정하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 이로 인해 계약이행중 발생하는 불완전이행과 목적물 인수 후 발생하는 하자에 대한 수급인의 책임에 대한 적용 및 해석은 어려운 작업이 되어 왔다. 그리고 불완전이행이나 하자에 대한 연구는 활성화되지 못하였고, 불완전이행이나 하자관련 분쟁이 발생하게 될 경우 당사자 일방이 포기하거나 일반론적으로 접근하여 본질적인 문제해결을 이루지 못하였다. 따라서 공공건설사업에 있어서 수급인의 하자책임에 대해 심층적으로 고찰할 필요성이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 인식하여 본 연구에서는 건설공사의 하자나 불완전이행은 제조물책임법에서 규정하는 결함과는 다르므로 국내외 수급인의 하자책임에 대해 고찰한 후, 우리나라 국가계약법령에 근거한 수급인의 불완전이행 및 하자책임을 분석하여 문제점을 도출한 후 개선방안을 항목별로 도출하였다.
