Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis were to 1) study problems arising from an application of the Civil and Commercial Code, title Suretyship to a bank letter of guarantee issued as security to a foreign creditor and 2) analyze an application form of the bank letter of guarantee for its applicable enforcement. This thesis is a documentary research by researching legislations, textbooks and articles in order to analyze problems arising from practical issues of the issuance of the bank letter of guarantee. This thesis concludes that The civil and commercial code, title Suretyship is insufficient and inapplicable for the bank letter of guarantee issued as security to a foreign creditor. If the bank letter guarantee is voided, the issuer bank has no right to require for an reimbursement from the applicant. Consequently, the issuer bank has to claims against the applicant for the reimbursement by referring the submitted an application form of the bank letter of guarantee. However, the applicant may also defend against the issuer bank that the bank has arbitrarily paid debt because such the bank letter of guarantee becomes void. Since the submitted application form of the bank letter of guarantee is a part of such voided instrument agreement, the application form also becomes void. The bank therefore has no right to require for an reimbursement by referring the submitted applicant form of the bank letter of guarantee. This thesis recommends that changing the name of an applicant form of the bank letter of guarantee to be an indemnity agreement for the issuance of the bank of guarantee; specifying expressly covenants therein that this agreement is a specific contract separated from the principal agreement and the issued bank letter of guarantee and it is not instrumental to any contracts; and specifying a provision of contractual damages which can be caused by any incidents in order to make the applicant form of the bank letter of guarantee complete and enforceable.
