  • Project delays, cost overruns, and disputes are becoming a norm for the construction industry in Hong Kong. Researchers argue that the inability of traditional contracts to manage risk and associated changes are perhaps the main points of contention. The Institution of Civil Engineers published a new engineering contract (NEC), NEC4 Suite of Contracts in this to facilitate better risk management through collaborative culture in construction projects. NEC aims to increase the chances of project success thought its flexible nature of contracts, 'simple' and 'clearly written' documents and provision for the incentive by adopting a better management approach. This paper focuses on traditional and NEC contracts to compare risk management and change management aspects. Through literature review and preliminary interviews with three industry professionals, the paper is exploring how a change in traditional contracts can recuperate from disaster. Our interviewees in this work have extensive experience in traditional as well as in NEC contracts. The results suggest a proactive risk management provisions in NEC contracts does make a difference to avoid later escalation of issues. Whereas, management of change helps streamline all identified issues through a structured process without going in mediation or litigation. NEC, with its new approach to collaborative working, allows partners to be vigilant, yet gratifying in the project process.

  • Smart contracts are implemented by blockchain technology, which stores the terms of the contracts of both parties on the blockchain. In the event of an international dispute over smart contracts and blockchains, no special solution has been proposed, such as the enactment of the International Unification Act. The blockchain platform which operates smart contracts is decentralized and operates through distributed nodes around the world without central servers, making it difficult to establish jurisdiction and governing laws. As an alternative to traditional dispute-solving methods, a new mediation model-smart arbitration-is being attempted. The arbitration process is likely to be a preferred means of resolving disputes over smart contracts in practice. There are many problems, such as the fairness of the arbitration center on the selection and judgment of arbitrators, the question of securing reliability, the question of the validity of the arbitration agreement, and how much the court can be involved in the case. Preparations at the national level, such as fostering blockchains and smart contract experts, and overhauling the legal system, are needed.

  • Resorting to electronic arbitration to resolve disputes in international trade contracts is the most important reflection of technological progress on the reality of international commercial arbitration. Electronic is a modern image of traditional arbitration, and this type of arbitration provides many advantages that are not provided by any legal system for resolving disputes, including speed, effectiveness and lower costs. What will this development produce? Through technical progress in the means of communication, it has become conceivable that international trade dealers agree to arbitration via electronic means of communication, followed by the completion of the arbitration process via the Internet, leading to the issuance of the electronic arbitration award in an electronic manner as well.

  • Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) for e-commerce in non-UCC and non-UETA transactions, promulgated in 1999. The Act Drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. UCITA applies to contracts to license or buy software, contracts to create computer programs, contracts for on-line access to databases and contracts to distribute information over the Internet. UCITA does not apply to goods such as television sets, stereo equipment, airplanes or traditional books and publications. Goods generally remain subject to UCC Article 2 or Article 2A. Many transactions may include more than computer information. If that transaction covers non-goods subject matter, UCITA applies only to the part of the transaction which is computer information and other law applies to the other subject matter. In the event the other subject matter is goods, UCC Article 2 or 2A applies to the goods subject matter and UCITA applies to the computer information part. UCITA is coordinated with existing Articles 2 and 2A, so coverage of each to part of the transaction will be facilitated. With respect to other subject matter (primarily services) UCC Articles 2 and 2A have worked in mixed transactions with the common law applicable to the services.

  • Licensing of information is the standard of the computer information business today. The huge bulk of vendors license their computer information products. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act(UCITA), therefore, does not originate licensing contracts. UCITA was developed to provide basic, recognizable default rules for the existing licensing activity that goes on and expands as commerce in computer information expands. UCITA's rules govern licensing of contracts for computer information from formation through performance, including remedies if there is a breach of contract. Included in UCITA are rules for warranties, both implied and express, and rules pertaining to risk of loss in a computer information transaction. Most of the rules in UCITA are the traditional and familiar rules of contract from the law of sales and from the common law, but adapted to the special nature of computer information licensing contracts. Freedom of contract is a dominating underlying policy for UCITA, exactly as that principle is the foundation for the law of commercial transactions, generally, and exactly as that law has served all commercial transactions in the United States and has contributed to the economic growth and health of the United States.

  • The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws promulgated the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) in 1999. In 2000 and 2002, this Act was also Amended. UCITA provides a comprehensive set of rules for licensing computer information, whether computer software or other clearly identified forms of computer information. Computerized databases and computerized music are other examples of computer information that would be subject to UCITA. It would also govern access contracts to sites containing computer information, whether on or off the Internet. UCITA would not govern contracts, even though they may be licensing contracts, for the traditional distribution of movies, books, periodicals, newspapers, or the like. Part 8 of UCITA provides a remedy structure somewhat modeled on that of Article 2 but adapted in significant respects to the different context of a computer information transaction. For example, 808 of UCITA recognizes the focus in a license context for a licensor's remedy should properly be on recovery for benefit conferred or for lost profit, rather than on damage measurement by a substitute transaction, where the license is non-exclusive so additional transactions are permitted and there is very little cost in reproduction of the information and its redistribution. Section 816 of UCITA also contains very important limitations on the generally recognized common law right of self-help as applicable in the electronic context.

  • 2012년 12월 국토해양부와 지식경제부는 화주기업과 물류기업 간 표준계약서를 보급 추진하기 위하여 위원회를 개최하고 표준계약서를 배포하였으며, 이러한 배경 하에 본 연구는 물류아웃소싱의 계약 관계에서 양 업계가 상생거래를 하기위한 물류계약서의 가이드라인을 제시하기 위하여 계약의 유형과 속성에 관한 선행연구를 검토하였고, 국내와 해외의 물류 계약서의 실제 사례 제시를 통하여, 국내의 물류 계약서의 구체화 정도와 해외 계약서들의 구체화 정도를 비교하였으며, 향후 국내 기업이 물류계약서 체결 시 현재보다 더 구체적으로 위험발생 조항이나 비용발생 조항 등을 반영해야 하는 현실적인 시사점을 제공하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 계약서의 구성과 내용은 국내와 해외가 공통적으로 계약의 정의와 기간, 업무의 범위, 업무 처리의 절차, 정산의 방법, 분쟁의 해결 방법과 같이 일반적으로 구성원 간 거래에 필요한 공식적인 원칙을 다루고 있는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 둘째, 국내와 해외의 계약서 모두 상황 발생에 따라 탄력적으로 해결이 가능하도록 규정하고 분쟁이 발생 할 경우 분쟁 기구를 통해 해결을 하는 신고전적 계약법을 따르고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 셋째, 국내 계약서에 비교하여 해외의 물류 계약서가 발생 가능한 위험에 대비하여 보다 구체적인 조항들을 담고 있는 것을 알수 있었으며, 해외 계약서에 비해 국내의 계약서가 화주기업에 보다 유리한 조항들을 많이 담고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 물류기업과 화주기업은 계약사항 협의 단계에서 계약 이후에 발생 가능성이 있는 위험이나 문제점들을 사전 예상하고 상호 협의를 통하여 계약서에 반영하는 것을 적극적으로 노력하여 물류기업과 화주기업과의 구조적인 문제로 발생된 손해를 물류기업에서 감수하는 관행을 없애도록 노력하여야 하는 아이디어를 제공하였고, 향후 표준 물류계약서 배포를 위해 구체적으로 반영이 될 수 있는 정책적인 가이드라인을 제공하였다.
