민법의 관점에서 바라본 민법 개정안의 법인제도 - 비영리단체ㆍ법인 제도의 바람직한 상에 대한 각서 -

The legal system of organization and corporation is entering into a new phase. As a result, an in-depth legislative discussion is required on which kinds of organization and corporation Korean Civil Code shall stipulate and codify. The outline of this issue will likely take shape only after understanding the nature of Civil Code as fundamental law of civil society. The revision bill in 2010 would be positive on the whole as improving interpretative issues on previous Civil Code: establishment of non-profit corporation,rules regarding unincorporated association, the question of when property belongs to foundation, etc. The bill has been settled and the Ministry of Justice is currently expecting it to be presented to the National Assembly. At this point, I assume that my assessment and personal opinion should be given in terms of specific issues such as the dissent between the 3rd committee and the working committee under the revision council for Civil Code. However, a careful assessment and discretion must be required. Most of all, time is limited to discuss all the issues, which are significant and many, regarding corporation under the revision bill. Given that non-profit corporation system is particularly sensitive and important with regard to nation, local government, civil society and religion, the entire system should be examined in long-term view. This paper covers some details and outlines conceivable issues in long-term view.
