A Duty of Doctor about Faithful Notice against Its Patient or the patient’s bereaved family and The Law

SONG YOUNGMIN | 2014, (63) | pp.39~66 | number of Cited : 5

1) A Doctor in general is liable for a faithful notice against its patient or the patient’s bereaved family from beginning practising medicine to terminate practising medicine. This obligation is recognized by the Civil Law Section 683 that provides a duty of report in case of a contract of delegation. The benefits and protection of laws in the obligation is in deciding ways of livelihood of the patient after treatment of him or her. In case of death of the patient, however, what is the benefits and protection of laws in the obligation against the bereaved family? The family has generally closely legal interests in the patient's everyday life and the Doctor's practising medicine. The legal interests include rights to be noticed because the patient's families do their best to cure or improve disease of the patient with the notice. Accordingly to a Doctor has a obligation of the notice against the patient's bereaved families as an incidental obligation by the contract of practising medicine. It is notable, therefore, that the objects of the notice obligation should be decided in the light of this doctrine. 2) An trustee has generally an obligation only to perform a trust contract with a duty of care. Notwithstanding the obligation only by the contract, why does the doctor has a obligation of the notice against the family?Because of peculiarity and special of the practising medicine, the fiduciary relationship between the patient and a Doctor is very important. A Doctor does his or her best to protect it patient's interest, and this effort should be continued not only for the patient's survival, but after the patient's death to protect the patient's personal rights. In case of the patient's death, furthermore, there are two important rights. One is to protect the patient's personal rights, the other is to protect rights to decide ways of life of the patient’s bereaved family. The Doctor must protect these rights above. These rights can not be recognized by only a good manager caution obligation based on the Civil Law, and are more high level rights than the good manager caution obligation. These rights are only introduced by the fiduciary duty of loyalty on the fiduciary relationshipIn conclusion an author suggest that the Civil Law Section 681 should be newly interpreted to recognize a Doctor’obligations above under present legal systems. In general though the Section 681 is interpreted to provide the duty of care of the trustee, the Section should be interpreted to include the fiduciary duty of loyalty by the trustee in case of the peculiarity and special of the practising medicine.

A study of standards for disputes regarding suitability and the duty of explanation on transaction of derivatives

김희석 | 2014, (63) | pp.121~158 | number of Cited : 5

This study is about standards for disputes, suitability and a duty of explanation of derivatives transactions, according to Korean cases of derivatives transactions. The financial crisis in the United State of America made the exchange rate of Won/US dollar high and the companies buying KIKO derivatives (knock-in and knock-out forwards) lost a lot of money in these tradings. Disputes of derivatives transactions like KIKO cases are increasing by the expansion of financial markets. Investors are responsible for trading of derivatives when they have made their own decisions whether to enter into a deal or not to. But if the investors lose in their derivatives transactions, they may sue the financial company selling those financial products. Main issues in these disputes are the violation of principle of suitability and a duty to explain, etc, and I reviewed standards for disputes of derivatives transactionsThere are several standards for suitability in derivatives transactions in disputes. First, the structures of OTC derivatives shall be fair between investors and financial companies. Second, suitability shall apply to the investment strategy. Third, the valuation of derivatives shall be fair and correct. If the valuation of derivatives is not fair or the difference of valuation of derivatives is vast, it is a violation of suitability. Also, there are several standards for the duty of explanation of financial products like derivatives in disputes. First, each financial investment business entity shall explain the essential factors of derivatives, and receive written confirmation that the investors understand the explanation of derivatives. Second, the business margin is not included in the essential factors to explain. Third, in case that unfair dealing linked underlying assets could be involved, so that, conditions for early termination, termination of contracts, ets, are explained exactly and understandable. Finally, it is not good to explain only good views on the products. It shall be both good and bad points in derivatives.

A study about conditions analysis on the scope of the driving insured in voluntary automobile insurance standard policy conditions

Gyu Seong Cho | 2014, (63) | pp.159~192 | number of Cited : 3

Voluntary automobile insurance standard policy conditions are composed of five types of insured, namely in addition to ‘the named insured’ indicated in the policy the following persons are insureds: ‘the spouse (including unregistered spouse) and relatives of the named insured’, ‘the permitting insured’(namely, any person who drives or uses the automobile with the permission of the named insured) and ‘the employer of the named insured’, and ‘the driving insured’(namely, any person who drives for the above mentioned each insureds)Court rulings and claim adjuster’s affair have caused confusion because of the interpretation on the scope of the driving insured is different. In order to resolve these issues, I think that analysis on the scope of the driving insured in automobile insurance policy conditions must comply with the purpose of introduction and the origin of terms and conditions. According to the existing the Supreme Court’s judgement, if the driver is employed, without permission of owner or not, he became the driving insured. But I think that the existing the Supreme Court’s judgement is wrong. Because even though a person is the employed driver, if he drives for his own interests, he is not the driving insured but automobile operator(=means a person who operates an automobile for himself) by Act on Guarantee of Compensation for Loss caused by Automobile. Fortunately, in recent years, the pertinent Supreme Court’s judgement which the interpretation about the scope of the driving insured exactly determines has been sentenced. According to this Supreme Court case, even though a driver would have been driving for the permitting insured, if his driving is against the named insured’ apparent permission, he is not the driving insured. In conclusion, I strongly support this Supreme court case, because the judgement can make it clear the implication and extent on the scope of the driving insured under the automobile insurance clauses. Also I propose a revision of the provisions in order to eliminate any dispute relating to the interpretation of terms and conditions.
