The letter of credit is a promise by a bank to accept or to purchase drafts or to pay by presenting the stipulated documentswhich is in conformitywith the terms and conditions of the credits. The letter of credit is often used in new transaction,massive transaction or a transactionwith the partywho has lower credit. In general, the issuing bank opens the letter of credit by request of buyer in order to help the transaction between seller and buyer and also the issuing bank under letter of credit transaction carries out two functions to get rid of credit risk in seller’s side and mercantile risk in buyer’s side.
However, there is a case we should consider what kind of obligation does the issuing bank have under letter of credit transaction. This study attempts to verify the case that because of the bankruptcy of an applicant and an insertion of negotiation embargo in L/C, the judge ruled against the issuing bank even though the issuing bank performed the payment to a seller, and to suggest some precautionswhen an issuing bank opens L/C through the interpretation of embargo.
