论中国适用“信用证欺诈例外原则”的法律渊源

On the Legal Sources of the Application of "L/C Fraud Exception" in China's Mainland

中国并未滥用信用证欺诈例外原则,对此问题引起人们误解的原因在于中国目前缺少适用该原则的法律渊源。关于信用证欺诈例外的座谈会纪要,不能成为法院审理案件的合法根据,而其他民法、票据法以及刑法中的相关规定,也不能从根本上解决信用证欺诈例外引发的难题。此外,'信用证欺诈例外原则'在中国也未被作为国际惯例直接予以引用。而最高人民法院即便出台相关的司法解释,也并非万全之策。

The L/C fraud exception is not abused by the courts of Chinese Mainland.The key reason arousing people’s mistakes about this fact is there are no formal legal sources to apply this principle in China at present.The related legal documents of L/C fraud exception which are applied mostly in practice can not be the legal source of this kind of trials.Furthermore,the articles of civil law and criminal law,etc.,cannot dissolve all the problems brought by L/C fraud cases,and the L/C fraud exception principle is not accepted as an international custom by the courts.Promulgating related judicial interpretations by the Supreme Court of the People’s Republic of China is not a good way to resolve this issue,either.
