| Summary: | One of the most widely used independent bank obligations in international trade law is a demand bank guarantee. This is always exposed to the risk of unfair demand, because it is payable on demand. It means that the beneficiary calls and receives guaranteed fund despite of full performance of the underlying contract by principal. In fact, documentary characteristics and the principle of independence provide an opportunity for the beneficiary to affect the exceptional and secondary function of bank guarantee as a result of an unfair demand. The question posed is how unfair demand can be prevented. By examining rules and regulation governing international trade and the draft bill on commercial law approved in 1391, it would seem that among possible solutions, such as the requirement of presenting a court judgment or an arbitral tribunal award and a statement by the beneficiary or principal indicating points in which the applicant is in breach of its obligations, the assumption of nonperformance of the contract, in the event of demand by the beneficiary, is the most appropriate solution. |
