소비자보호를 위한 바람직한집단소송 시스템 = Adequate collective group litigation system for the protection of the collective interests of consumers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Last year korean government introduced a bill which contains Draft for Consumer Protection Act(hereinafter called as the draft) to the assembly. The draft aims fundamentally at the protection of the collective interests of consumers, and then classical german group litigation(hereinafter called as Verbandsklage) was inserted in draft. Classical Verbandsklage means that qualified entities could bring an action for the consumers on the basis of their own rights. At first entities' claim is narrowly restricted to the cessation or prohibition of any infringement, but now qualified entities generally could get an order against the losing defendant for payments into the public purse or to any beneficiary (Gewinnabachpfung). Furthermore in Germany qualified entities could directly claim damages of consumers through conveyance of some consumers' monetary claim(Verbandsmusterverfahren). And in some area such as stock market, consumers could ask for Kapitalanleger-Musterverfahren before the court, and the court could select a model process of the cases which contain the same cause of action. Before we accept the new Verbandsklage system in the draft, we should sincerely consider these new models which are lately developed in Germany and EU boundaries as much as class action system of the America. And also we should classify massive damages according to the their own characters, we make a appropriate measure separately to handle such damages.
