Chinese Guarantee Provisions
As of 1 December, 2016, the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China has issued new Provisions governing all cases involving independent guarantees that are binding on all Chinese courts. These Provisions will anyone dealing with Chinese banks and Independent Guarantees subject to Chinese law or jurisdiction.
As such, they are crucial for banks (operations, products, risk, correspondent banking, legal), lawyers, correspondent banks, and corporates (legal, treasury, and finance) who deal with China.
In addition to dealing extensively with fraud, the PRC Provisions provide a definition and a default rule for what constitutes an independent guarantee. The Provisions allow for international practice rules (URDG758, ISP98, UCP600), and make it clear that they are inapplicable to a traditional suretyship or accessory guarantee.
In order to acquaint the international LC community with the changes embodied in these Provisions, the Institute has been working closely with a team of Chinese lawyers, translators, and international trade experts for the last several weeks to produce a series of products designed to illuminate the language of the Provisions, and their potential impact on transactions.
