Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2016 11:32 am
I got to answer another question of the test under this website and i was told Im wrong.
A LC was available with the nominated bank with 120 days deferred payment undertaking. The document was complying and nominated bank communicated its deferred payment undertaking saying “On maturity we will make payment as per LC terms and conditions of the LC”. On maturity the nominated bank refuse to pay as the issuing bank was in financial crisis. Which of the following is true?
A. The issuing bank is bound to pay the beneficiary as per Article 7.
B. The nominated bank has communicated its deferred payment undertaking and must pay at maturity.
C. The beneficiary need not to present the documents again.
D. All of the above.
My answer was 'C'. Since the nominated bank has expressly consented and communicated to the beneficiary. Im I right?
The forum states im wrong stating "Unless a nominated bank is the confirming bank, an authorization to honor ot negotiate does not impose any obligation on that nominated bank to honor or negotiate, except when expressly to by that nominated bank and so communicated to the beneficiary"
