carrier v. agent

Dear all,
a DC requires B/L signed "as agent of the carrier". The B/L is signed by the carrier.
Comments?

Daniel,

I would -most reluctantly- refuse on the basis that this is an express requirement of the credit and it is not for a banker to decide if something else is just as good.

I would accept on basis of the same reasoning adopted for the acceptance of an insurance policy in lieu of an insurance certificate.

Daniel
In my opinion this would only be a discrepancy if the credit prohibited issuance of B/Ls by the carrier or excluded UCP Art 20a.

Thank you all.

Jeremy,

As Lord Diplock put it: "There is no room..."

This was very much at the forefront of my mind Daniel.

ISBP 22? only in reverse?

Coming down to par. 22: the difference between signing as agent of somebody and signing on behalf of somebody? Not the same thing in my opinion.
