Description
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
The seminar will consider recent cases and developments in the trade finance area in England and Wales, Singapore and other common law jurisdictions. The aim of the seminar is to consider developments in Singapore itself, as well as foreign developments that might be instructive to Singaporean courts, academics and practitioners. The seminar will likely cover recent cases in England, Singapore and elsewhere dealing with SWIFT messages and forgery; the impact of sanctions upon letters of credit and the effectiveness of sanctions clauses; the incorporation of letter of credit terms and the status of the UCP 600; assignment and set-off in relation to letters of credit; and the impact of fraud, forgery and sham transactions upon the payment and reimbursement obligations under the letter of credit. Time permitting, the seminar will also examine recent market-based and legislative initiatives in Singapore and abroad to address the impact of fraud and technology on trade finance transactions.
