Purpose: In India, the age of 14 years is the legal age threshold for child labour. Therefore, in suspected instances of child labour, age assessment plays a crucial role in determining whether a violation of the law on the employment of children has occurred. The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to assess the discriminatory ability of stages of cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) in predicting the legal age threshold of 14 years. Materials and Methods: Routinely taken lateral cephalograms from 408 subjects aged 10 to 18 years were evaluated retrospectively using the CVM stages described by Baccetti et al. Descriptive statistics, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and likelihood ratios were calculated for stages 2, 3, and 4 of CVM. Results: Real age increased as the CVM stage gradually increased. The results of 2×2 contingency tables showed that CVM stage 4 produced an accuracy of 71% and 73%, a false positive rate of 7% and 18%, and a post-test probability of 59% and 68% for boys and girls, respectively. Conclusion: Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the stages of CVM are of limited use for predicting the attainment of the legal age threshold of 14 years. Future studies should investigate whether combinations of skeletal and dental methods could achieve better accuracy and post-test probability.

급증하는 드론 운용과 더불어 카메라가 장착된 드론은 제3자 개인의 인격권 및 재산권 침해 우려가 있다는 논의는 이미 선행연구에서 지적되었다. 하지만 아직 국내에서는 드론 관련 판례를 찾아보기 어렵다. 독일 법원(Potsdam)의 경우 카메라 장착 드론으로 이웃집 마당을 비행한 사안에서 독일 「민법」 제1004조제1항제2문을 근거로 드론 운영자의 주의의무 해태에 따른 재발위험 방지를 위하여 토지소유자의 예방적부작위청구권을 인용한 바 있다. 또한 자신의 앞마당을 비행하는 카메라장착 드론을 격추한 사건에서도 최근 독일 법원(Riesa)은 카메라 장착 드론이 제3자의 사생활 영역을 비행하는 것은 독일 「형법」 제201조a에 따른 사생활침해에 해당하는 위법한 행위이므로 「형법」 34조 및 「민법」 제288조, 제904조 긴급피난에 해당하므로 형사상 재물손괴죄를 기각하였다. 해외의 사례를 직접적으로 국내에 적용하기는 어려우나, 유사한 사건은 충분히 국내에서도 발생될 수 있으므로 독일 하급심 판결이 국내에 주는 시사점은 크다고 할 수 있다. 국내적으로 카메라를 장착한 드론의 수요가 급증하는 만큼 법익침해에 관한 구체적 방안이 논의될 시점이다.

The main subject of year 2016 Davos forum was "The 4th Industrial Revolution." Recently, interests and investment in drone market, so called industrial revolution in the sky is growing in many countries around the world. Before, drone was used for military purpose such as reconnaissance or attacking but today, it is used in various private sectors such as unmanned delivery service, agriculture, leisure activities, etc. Presently, many major countries in the world are already involved in the 'war without gunfire' to be dominant in this drone industry. Korean government also has announced an extreme relaxation of regulations for growing drone industry by opening a conference with Ministers related to economics. During the conference, business scope of drone which was limited to agriculture, photographing, and observation was expanded to all the fields except for cases hindering national safety and security. In terms of shooting purpose drone its process of receiving approval for flight and shooting is simplified to online registration. What is more, drone delivery service will be allowed in island areas such as Goheung, Yeongwol, etc from first term of year 2017. Finding the way to apply drone in criminal investigation is also speeding up. Recently, Public Safety Policy Research Center in Korean National Police University has inquired for research service and its result will be out around November. Likewise, although more and stronger foundation for supporting drone industry is made but there are still, some opinions saying that we should take a careful approach in consideration to the side effect such as abuse in crime. One may also try terror by placing a dangerous substance. If drone falls, it may hurt any civilians. Moreover, if shopping purpose drone is hacked, it may result in violation of privacy. Compared to America, Europe, and China, we are at the very beginning stage of drone industry and it is necessary to reorganize legal issues to grow this industry. This can be thought from two perspectives; first, the growth of drone industry is blocked by difficult regulations on Aviation Law and Radio Regulation Law. The second issue is the safety and privacy that are required for operating drone. For the advanced technologies to make human life more profitable, more active and proactive actions are required by criminal law side. In preparation to the second mechanical era where man and machines should go together, I hope that responsible preparation is required in all fields including the criminal law.

Under the new system of 'Separation of pharmaceutical prescription and dispensing' in Korea, which was implemented in 2000, physician could not dispense a medicine, and outpatient should have a physician's prescription filled at a drugstore. After pharmacist makes up outpatient's prescription, National Health Insurance Service(NHIS) pay for outpatient's medicine to pharmacist, except an outpatient's own medicine charge. And NHIS only pay for outpatient's prescription fee to physician and, physician doesn't derive profit from dispensing medicine in itself. Nevertheless, if physician writes out a prescription with violation of 'Criteria for the Medical Care Benefits', NHIS clawed back the payment of outpatient's prescription and medicine from the physician or the medical institution which the physician belongs to. In the past, NHIS's confiscation was in accordance with 'the National Health Care Insurance Act, Article 52, Clause 1'. But, since 2006 when the Supreme Court declared that there was no legal basis on the NHIS's confiscation of outpatient's medicine payment, NHIS had put in a claim for illegal prescriptions on the basis 'the Korean Civil law, Article 750(tort)'. So, Many medical institutions filed civil actions against NHIS. The key point of this actions was whether the issuing outpatient prescriptions with violations of Criteria for the Medical Care Benefits constitute of the law of tort. On this point, the first trial and the second trial took different position. Finally the Supreme Court acknowledged the constitution of the law of tort in 2013. In this paper, the author will review critically the decision of the Supreme Court, and consider the relativeness between the legal effect of Criteria for the Medical Care Benefits and the constitution of the issuing outpatient prescriptions with violations of Criteria for the Medical Care Benefits as the law of tort.

SK컴즈, 옥션, KT 등 대형 인터넷 서비스 제공자의 부주의로 인하여 이용자의 정보가 유출되는 정보유출사고가 국내에서 여러 차례 발생하였다. 이러한 해킹으로 인한 개인정보 유출사고에서 인터넷 서비스 제공자의 법적 책임 여부를 판단하기 위해서는 기존 법령 위반 또는 법 일반원칙인 신의칙 위반 여부를 살펴보아야 한다. 그러나 현재 인터넷 서비스 제공자의 신의칙상 책임 범위를 판단할 수 있는 객관적 기준은 없는 상황이다. 이러한 신의칙상 보호조치 의무의 범위의 불확정성은 기업들에게 불만을 초래하는 요인이 되므로 이 범위를 어떻게 확정할 것인지 그 판단범위로서 객관적인 지표의 제시가 필요하다. 하지만 앞서 언급된 법의 성격상 보호조치 의무의 범위를 확정하여 법령에 규정할 수 없으므로, 이를 해결하기 위해서는 단순히 법제도 차원에서 고민할 것이 아니라 융합적 차원에서의 접근방법이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기술적 부분, 법제적 부분, 관리적 부분으로 나누어 융합적 관점에서 사업자의 주의의무 위반의 범위를 예견할 수 있는 객관적인 기준에 대한 방안에 대해 논의한다.

On March 11, 2011, the Korea National Assembly finally passed the bill on the Damage Relief on the Medical Malpractice and Mediation for Medical Dispute. One of the features of this Act is including "The Subrogation Payment System for Damage (abbreviated SPSD)". This System is that 'Korean Medical Dispute Mediation-Arbitration Board' pays the damages, instead of the health care provider, for the patient who isn't paid damages by the health care provider despite of the Mediation or ruling. The purpose of this study is to search the problems and make improvement on SPSD. This System was introduced extreamly to the patients in order to induce them to the mediation. However,there remains several problems. In this articles, I have examined thoroughly the legal issues on SPSD. There are legal issues about the methods and ratio of the financial burden. In this connection, wide discretionary authority has been granted to administrative agencies specifically. On this account, this System clearly contains elements of a violation against the Constitutional Law. Moreover, this System can be broadly applied to the case of court ruling or the Korea Consumer Agency's mediation. But these measures go against the aim of legislation that the medical dispute can be resolved through the mediation or arbitration by this Act. In the end, these problems must be revised through the additional discussion.

Park Tae-hwan, the Korean Olympic gold medal swimmer, was suspended for eighteen months by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) in September 2014. Park completed his suspension in March 2016, but the Korea Olympic Committee (KOC), relying on its Article 5.6, then prohibited him from joining the national team for an additional three years for the same doping violation. The KOC's penalty exceeded that provided by the World Anti-Doping Code, which governs the Olympics and most international sports federations, and contravened well-established precedent from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The KOC, along with the Korea Swimming Federation, maintained the suspension until decisions by the Seoul Eastern District Court and CAS forced them to retract the penalty. We describe the sports regulations and arbitration decisions governing the Park case, how each side used the law to support their positions, the flaws in the KOC's legal analysis, and the case's resolutions by the Korean court and CAS. Finally, because this legal conflict has damaged the KOC's reputation, created uncertainty over the committee's doping penalties, and undercut the authority of the World Anti-Doping Code and the CAS in Korea, we recommend institutional changes in Korea's sports jurisprudence.

This paper studies legal regulation of the public policy exception in the Russian Federation and domestic judicial practice on the issue. It reviews current legislation and analyzes a number of recent court cases where an arbitral award rendered by a foreign arbitration body was refused recognition and enforcement based on public policy violation. By doing so, it contributes to the knowledge on the concept of public policy in the Russian legal system and how public policy can affect the process of recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards on its territory. The review of court cases demonstrates different aspects of how the public policy exception can be applied by Russian arbitrazh courts. Such decisions can provide a clearer picture of the kinds of situation that can lead to invoking the public policy clause by the court. Also, it is of practical value as persons preparing to file a claim or to be a defendant in a Russian court can be required to present existing court decisions in support of their claim or defence.

Purpose: This study systematically analyzed cases in South Korea wherein nurses were prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter or injury due to professional negligence in pediatric care. Methods: We analyzed the precedents using the methodology of Hall and Wright (2008) and Austin (2010). Of the 618 cases retrieved from the Supreme Court Decisions Retrieval System in South Korea, we selected the 12 cases in which children were the victims and nurses were the defendants, using a case screening methodology. Results: The most frequent penalty was a fine, and newborns were the most frequent victims. The distribution of cases according to Austin's violation categories was: improper administration of medications (n=5), failure to monitor for and report deterioration (n=4), ineffective communication (n=4), failure to delegate responsibly (n=4), failure to know and follow facility policies and procedures (n=1), and improper use of equipment (n=1). Conclusion: To ensure the safety of children, nurses are required to teach and practice a high standard of care. Nursing education programs must improve nurses' awareness of their legal obligations. Nursing organizations and leaders should also work towards enacting effective nursing laws and ensuring that nurses are aware of their legal rights and responsibilities.

대법원 2021. 7. 29. 선고 2018다228486 판결은 책임능력 있는 정신질환자의 보호의무자의 감독의무 위반으로 인한 손해배상책임의 근거를 민법 제750조로 명시하였다. 이 판결은 보호의무자가 구 정신보건법에 따라 정신질환자에 대한 감독의무를 부담함을 근거로, 보호의무자에게 민법 제750조에 따른 감독의무 소홀로 인한 불법행위책임의 성립을 인정하고 있다. 그러나 '감독할 법정의무'를 명문의 규정으로 요구하는 민법 제755조 제1항의 경우와 달리, 민법 제750조는 일반 불법행위책임을 규정하고 있을 뿐이므로, 민법 제750조에 따라 감독의무 위반으로 인한 불법행위책임을 인정하기 위해서는, 감독의무의 근거가 반드시 법률일 것을 요하지 아니한다. 이 경우 사회상규나 조리, 신의칙, 형평의 원칙에 의해서도 감독의무를 인정할 수 있다. 보호의무자의 감독의무는 정신질환자의 행동으로 인한 모든 결과를 방지해야 하는 일반적인 의무가 아니라 합리적으로 제한된 범위에서의 의무이다. 따라서 보호의무자가 피보호자인 정신질환자가 타인을 위해할 가능성이 있다는 구체적인 위험을 인지하였는데도 대비를 하지 않은 경우와 같이 정신질환자의 행위에 관해서 책임을 묻는 것이 타당한 객관적 상황이 인정되는지 여부에 따라 개별적으로 판단하여야 한다. 정신건강증진 및 정신질환자 복지서비스 지원에 관한 법률에 따른 보호의무자에게는 피감독자에 대한 일반적인 자상타해방지감독의무까지 인정하기는 어렵다고 할 것이나, 보호의무자가 입원신청을 하였으나 정신건강의학과전문의가 입원등이 필요하다고 진단하지 않은 경우나 정신의료기관등의 장은 입원등을 받아들이지 않은 경우 및 정신질환자의 행동에 대해 보호의무자에게 구체적인 예견가능성이 없다고 판단될 경우에는 보호의무자의 감독의무 위반 자체가 없다고 보아야 하며, 설혹 감독의무 위반이 있다고 하더라도 정신질환자의 불법행위로 인한 손해와의 사이에 인과관계가 존재하지 않는다고 보아야 할 것이다.
