The mission of the doctors is to take care of human life, body and health through the medical behaviors such as diagnosis and treatment. Under this job propensity, the doctors have care duty to take the best actions required to prevent the risk according to the patients' specific disease status. Such care duty of the doctor may be evaluated based on the medical behavior level at the medical institution and clinical medical study field. Such medical level should be understood in the normative level, considering the treatment environment, condition and specialty of the behavior, because it means the medical common sense known and acknowledged to the normal doctors. While the criminal suit requires the evidence for no doubt conviction, the civil suit requires more eased different standard. The results between the criminal and civil sentence may be different, because the confirmed former case may lead to long-term imprisonment and even death penalty, while the latter case puts only monetary penalty on the defeated party.

최근 우리나라에서는 연속적으로 발생한 환자안전사건으로 인해 환자안전에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아졌다. 더불어 환자안전사건 발생 후 의료인 및 의료기관의 대응방식이 논란이 되면서, 사과법 및 디스클로져법 도입의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국의 사과법과 디스클로져법 내용을 분석하고, 우리나라의 입법 움직임에 대하여 비판적으로 검토하고자 한다. 먼저 사과법은 의료인 등이 환자측에게 불편감, 통증, 손상, 사망 등에 대해 사과나 위로, 공감 등을 표하는 경우, 사과 등의 표현은 민사재판 및 행정절차에서 법적인 증거로 사용할 수 없도록 하는 것을 그 주요 내용으로 한다. 사과법은 실수, 오류, 잘못, 책임, 법적 책임의 표현과 같은 규범적 평가요소를 증거법의 보호 범위에 포함하는지 여부에 따라 '완전한 사과법'과 '부분적 사과법'으로 구분된다. 한편, 디스클로져법은 의료기관이 심각한 위해가 발생한 사건 등에 있어 사건의 공개, 발생원인, 보상계획, 재발방지대책 등에 관하여 환자 측과 소통하는 것을 법률상 강제하거나 자율적으로 유도하는 것을 그 주요 내용으로 한다. 한편, 최근 우리나라에서도 환자안전사고에 관한 관심이 증폭되고, 의료인 측과 환자측의 의사소통의 중요성이 인식되면서, 위와 같은 미국의 사과법 또는 디스클로져법을 수용한 "환자안전법" 개정법률안이 국회에 제출되기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 미국의 사과법 및 디스클로져법의 분석을 토대로 위 개정법률안의 내용을 비판적으로 검토함으로써 향후의 입법방향에 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

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.

Considering above, It might be efficient that medical disputes would be settled by the intervention, the agreement, and the administrative relief that reflect mediators' opinion, who have rich social experience as well as specialized knowledge. Therefore, KCA needs to strengthen its function of mediation and improve relevant systems to become an effective settlement institution. And although Oriental medicine disputes have mainly given ex post facto explanations so far, administrative efforts such as policy development or legislation should be made for the high quality of Oriental medical services offered because an efficient way saving social or economic costs caused by the dispute would be precautionary measures. The traditional Oriental medicine is featured with the lack of baseline examination, the uncertainty of medical mistakes, the difficulty in clarifying and proving facts, the hardship of injury conformation and causality because of the characteristics of Oriental medicine, and the relative lightness of physical damages. Actually, there has been few legal settlements in Oriental medical disputes since the compensation, itself, compared to the lawsuit cost, is relatively much lower without practical benefits.

English contract law has traditionally taken the view that it is not the duty of the parties to a contract to give information voluntarily to each other. In English law, one of the principal distinctions between insurance contract law and general contract law is the existence of the duty of disclosure in insurance law. This article is, therefore, designed to analyse the scope or extent of the duty of disclosure and the remedy for breach of the duty in English marine insurance law. The main purpose of this article is also to seek the alternative remedy for the breach. The results of analysis are as following : First, the scope of the duty of disclosure is closely related to the test of materiality and the concept of a hypothetical prudent insurer. The assured is required to disclose only material circumstances subject to MIA 1906, s. 18(1). The test of materiality, which had caused a great deal of debate in English courts over 30 years, was finally settled by the House of Lords in Pan Atlantic and the House of Lords rejected the 'decisive influence' test and the 'increased risk' test, and the decision of the House of Lords is thought to accept the 'mere influence' test in subsequent case by the Court of Appeal. Secondly, an actual insurer is, in order to avoid contract, required to provide proof that he is induced to enter into the contract by reason of the non-disclosure of the assured. But this subjective test of actual inducement is somewhat meaningless in sense that English court takes the test of materiality as a starting point and assumes the presumption of inducement even in case of no clear proof on the inducement. Finally, MIA 1906, s. 18 provides expressly for the remedy of avoidance of the contract for breach of the duty of disclosure. This means rescission or retrospective avoidance of the entire contract, and the remedy is based upon a fairly crude 'all-or-nothing' approach. The remedy of rescission is too draconian from the point of view of the assured, because he can be deprived of all cover despite he is innocent perfectly. An inadvertent breach from an innocent mistake is as fatal as wilful concealment. What is, therefore, needed in English marine insurance law with respect to remedy for the breach is to introduce a more sophisticated or proportionate remedy ascertaining degrees of fault.

원격의료도 의료행위이므로, 의료인이 행하지 않으면 보건위생상 위해가 생길 우려가 있기에, 의료인만이 할 수 있도록 법률로 제한되어 있다. 반면 원격의료도 존귀한 사람의 생명과 신체를 다루는 일이므로, 작은 실수를 수반하는 원격의료일지라도 그 피해가 영원히 회복할 수 없거나 회복하기 어려울 수도 있다. 그러므로 기초의학부터 시작하여 체계적으로 의학을 공부하고, 인간의 신체 및 생명에 대한 외경심을 체계적으로 교육을 받았을 뿐만 아니라 상당기간 임상실습을 한 후 국가의 검증을 거친 의료인에 한하여 원격의료행위를 허용할 수 있다. 환자 및 정보가 먼 거리로 떨어져 있거나 시간적으로 많은 차이가 발생하는 등 여러 가지 문제로 인해 도달할 수 없는 경우 의료정보 및 전문적 조언을 원격으로 제공하는 시스템으로, 환자 진료뿐만 아니라 의료행정, 의학교육, 자문과 의뢰 등을 포함하는 포괄적인 개념으로 쓰인다. 이러한 측면에서 의료산업의 발전을 위하여 규제에 대한 다양한 의견을 언급하고 쟁점사항을 정리해보았다.

Purpose : To check the legal relation between rescue team and patient as well as legal responsibility for patient's damage intentionally or erroneously caused by rescue member, a public official, in the performance of relevant job ; to prevent legal dispute over rescue team and to present program for fair settlement of dispute and equitable and feasible burden of damage. Method : First, the legal principle of Civil Law, Criminal Law and Administrative Law related to the theme of this research will be investigated around research by literature. Second, the case of dispute related to rescue team will be introduced. Result: 1. If 119 rescue members as a public official intentionally or erroneously cause damage to patient in the performance of job, they shall bear civil, criminal and administrative responsibility. They shall bear civil responsibility for indemnity for damage due to default or tort. The typical criminal responsibility includes accidental homicide arising out of duty, preparing falsified official document, dereliction of duty, etc. In the administrative side, the state is responsible for indemnity for peculiar status of the rescue member, public official. 2. Though raising civil petition or legal dispute over unsatisfactory rescue service may be reasonable to guarantee the right of nation, such action may cause stress to rescue member as well as may lead to mental shrinking and defensive attitude only to take the basic first aid treatment which has low possibility of mistake instead of active first aid treatment so as to avoid legal responsibility. 3. The program that may prevent legal dispute over 119 rescue team includes expansion of manpower specialized in first aid treatment, enhancement of education on legal environment, development and application of standard job guideline, formation of mutual trust with patient, detailed explanation, preparing and keeping minute record, improvement of the rescue members' ability of first aid treatment and development of medical instruction mode. Conclusion : The best policy is to prevent legal dispute. If it is impossible to basically exclude the possibility of dispute, however, we need to make effort to minimize the occurrence, settle fairly and divide damage equitably and feasibly. To improve the preventible death rate of our first aid system to the level of advanced country, 119 rescue team which is in charge of the stage before hospital needs to positively enforce special first aid by improving the qualitative level of rescue service and to strive to prevent legal dispute that may occur in the process.
