2010년 개정 어음법에 관한 소고- 한글화․어문규범을 중심으로 -

The Korean Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Act was revised in 2010. In this modification the working group of the reform had intended, not change of the contents of the law but refine the sentence of law according to the Korean Literary Norms. In fact most people could not understand what the law intended, even though the literacy rate achieved almost 99 percent in Korea. For this reason, the legislators’ aim of revision enabling those literary people could understand the law easier was quite worthy to be praised. And thanks to the revision, the general public can understand easily now the original purpose of the laws. Nonetheless, problems still linger over the revision. Namely it is noticed in the part of the Hangulization (writing legal sentence in Hangul), in the refinement of the korean language and in the part of the observance of Hangul orthography. But it could have been more accurately detailed in every fields of the revision. Namely it’s too bad that it lacks unity as a whole in the expression. The reform did not use the standard language partly. The same problems are noticed in that it did not follow the Regulations of Hangul orthography. First of all, the national law shall be written as to the people can understand it without much difficulty. To solve the above problems, the Korean Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Act need to be revised in some more detail in the future.
