摘要

本文目標係剖析韓國最新民法財產法修正內容，以提供國內學者對韓國法最近發展動向之理解以及比較法之素材。韓國自1960年實施民法典以來，就財產法領域之規範內容及體系而言，迄今尚未發生任何變化。然韓國為使其民法得以現代化以及國際化，法務部（相當於我國的司法院）已於2009年2月起，組成韓國史上最龐大的修法委員會（以全國各大學的學者、律師，法官等組成），並有著手大刀闊斧的修正，並於2013年完成大幅度的財產法修正草案。此次修正範圍涵蓋了整個民法典財產法領域，即民法總則、物權法，以及債法（總則及分則）。實係韓國民法現代化、國際化的一個里程碑。由於我國迄今對韓國法之介紹及研究成果，尚難謂充裕，況且以東亞各國為主的比較法研究，正處於蓬勃發展之際，實有必要探討邇來韓國財產法規範的現況及趨勢，而最新民法修正案之解析與探討，勢必有助於達成此目的之效果。惟因篇幅有限，本文僅針對民法通則及債法通則（尤其債務不履行）之若干修正內容為中心進行檢討。

This project is aimed at examining the Draft of the Revised Korean Civil Code. The purpose of the project is twofold: exploring the newest changes made to the Korean Civil Code; and providing local academics with some information on the current development of, and understanding on, the Korean civil law. The Korean Civil Code has not been reformed since its promulgation in 1960. However, the Korean Ministry of Justice established a Civil Law Reform Committee and embarked on the revision of the code in 2009 in order to modernize and internationalize its Civil Code. The full-scale revision process finally came to an end in 2013. The revision encompasses the whole Code, i.e., the General Rules of Civil Law, Property Law, the Law of Obligations, and Family Law. The draft of the new Civil Code is considered to be a milestone in the Korean legal history. The Korean Civil Code has so far attracted little interests in Taiwan, thus research on Korean law has been relatively rare. However, Korea has recently become an indispensable jurisdiction in the comparative analysis of East Asian civil law. A study on the new draft of the Korean Civil Code is therefore worth conducting. The study will undoubtedly provide local lawyers with valuable information on Korean civil law, which can also be a basis for the future comparative research. That said, for reasons of space, the work only focuses on the General Rules of Civil Law and those of the Law of Obligations.
