东南亚某国银行给我国z行立过一份不可撤消自由议付信用证,在documents requiement中关于提单的notify party有如下条款:notify party will be advised later by means of l/c amendment through opening bank upon instructions from the applicant。但是无论通知行如何催促,证行迟迟不发信用证修改指定提单的被通知人。为避免信用证过期,受益人只好在信用证修改之前交单,并将提单的notify party打成applicant的全称。
证行在到单据后以如下理由拒付:notify party on the bill of lading shown as applicant whereas l/c amendment had not been effected,即信用证修改尚未发出,提单便显示了被通知人。z行多次反驳,但证行始终坚持不符点成立。
