第一節 信用狀作業
一、信用狀之簽發
(一)開狀銀行簽發信用狀之義務
1. 開狀銀行義務之產生:依據 UCP600 第 7 條 b 項之規定,開狀銀行
自簽發信用狀時起,即受其應為兌付之不可撤銷之拘束。因此,依
據 UCP600 所簽發之不可撤銷跟單信用狀,自信用狀簽發時起,開
狀銀行之兌付承諾即已生效。
2. 相關議題
議題一:開狀銀行所受之不可撤銷拘束是否已生效(irrevocability becomes
operative)?何時起視為不可撤銷 (when irrevocable)?
依據前述 UCP600 之規定,開狀銀行自簽發信用狀時起,即受其應為兌
付之不可撤銷之拘束;但 UCP600 並未明確規定開狀銀行應受拘束之時間點
(…however, the UCP did not state specifically that the issuing bank was bound to
1
honour its documentary credit as of the time of issuance. ) ,但此可參考
Professor james. E. Byrne 所主張:參照 ISP98 Rule 2.03,在大部分之情況
下,當信用狀脫離簽發人 (開狀銀行) 之控制視為已簽發…(…when the credit
2
leaves the operational control of the issuer as is indicated in ISP98 Rule 2.03 )
