스포츠 경기의 결함에 대한 경기주최자의 관람계약상 책임

n other industries, the responsibilities of corporate have been strengthened, as is evident in the widened scope of application of liability without fault and the introduction of punitive damages. By contrast, spectator sports industry has remained passive in terms of taking liability as it does not take the liability in damage due to cause attributable to, for instance. In this paper, I will consider sports organizers’ liabilities for the defects that occurred during the game because strengthening the responsibilities of sports organizers may not only protect the spectators from damages but also motivate sports organizers to pay more attention to prevent such defects. To this end, I concentrated on the provisions of the contract for any construction work which are similar to spectator contract. In particular, the scope of sports organizer's liability could expand in the sports industry where the causes of the damages cannot easily be proved if we hold the sports organizers responsible for liability for defect security without fault. However, it is unlikely that regulations regarding the typical contracts of the civil law, which has arbitrary and supplemental effects, will be applied because it is difficult to find loopholes in sports contracts the sports industry after a long period of trial and error. Nevertheless, I applied the legal principles of a similar typical contracts because the typical contracts would set a model for sports contracts. In other words, a typical contract presents a model for similar contracts and the arbitrary provisions of a contract can generally be considered as a reasonable standard. Most of all, it is accepted as norms with almost mandatory effects in relation to the protection of socially underprivileged. Therefore, to examine if the contents of the sports contracts are in accordance with requirements set out in the typical contracts in the civil law would be helpful in suggesting a direction for improvement in the spectator contracts, even if the provisions of the typical contracts are regarded as arbitrary regulations and not in accordance with the spectator contracts.
