UCP600是构建信用证法律关系的基本国际惯例,在信用证法律关系中,信用证通知行担任着同样重要的角色,并可能对当事方权利义务产生重要影响,笔者着力从以下权利义务角度解析通知行的权利义务。
一、通知行承担的首先是通知义务,而非保证兑付的义务。
UCP600 Article 9 Advising of Credits and Amendments a. A credit and any amendment may be advised to a beneficiary through an advising bank. An advising bank that is not a confirming bank advises the credit and any amendment without any undertaking to honour or negotiate. a. 信用证及其修改可以通过通知行通知受益人。除非已对信用证加具保兑,通知行通知信用证不构成兑付或议付的承诺。
信用证通知行一般是开证银行的代理行,通知行承担的是通知信用证的义务,通知行和开证行之间是委托代理的关系,即开证行委托通知行将信用证通知给受益人。作为开证行的代理人,通知行的义务很简单,只需要履行告知的义务即可,而无须承担兑付或议付信用证的义务。本条中提到一个例外,如通知行同时担任保兑行的话,则通知行承担保兑行的责任,也就是第8条里所列明的责任和义务。
二、通知行负有保证信用证表面真实性的义务和责任
UCP600 Article 9 Advising of Credits and Amendments b. By advising the credit or amendment, the advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit or amendment and that the advice accurately reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment received.
