Non complying presentation under confirmed L/C
Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2021 2:51 pm
Dear friends,
We are having an endless discussion and we will appreciate your comments helping us in settling it.
When a non complying presentation is made under a confirmed L/C, it is clear that there is no obligation for the confirming bank to honour such presentation. But, does this affect to future presentations?
For example:
- First presentation of documents for the first shipment of goods is non complying, hence there is no obligation for the confirming bank to honour
- Second presentation under this L/C for the second shipment is complying:
a) CB has obligation to honour since this obligation is independent for every presentation made
or
b) CB has no obligation to honour since one non complying presentation was made and this invalidates confirmation for the whole L/C
Thank you.
