"Original" document

Post by MaximPankratov » Fri Mar 09, 2001 12:00 am

Whether the photocopy of the document
marked "ORIGINAL" should be considered
as original document?

Thank you in advance for your kind
response.

Depends what it's a photocopy of. If it's a certificate, for instance, the mere adding of 'original' would not be sufficient to turn a photocopy into an original

There was a decision of ICC Commission on Banking Technique on 12 july 1999 'The determination of an 'Original' document in the context of ucp500 sub article 20b':
the doc is treated as original if it:
a) apperars to be written,typed,perforated,or stamped by the document issuer's hand;
b) appears to be on the document issuer's original stationary;
ñ) states that it is original, unless the statement appears not to apply to the document presented.

The ICC Decision Paper on Original Documents has not ruled on the following scenario.

If a document bears the stamp "Original" and also has a signature, but it "appears" (not able to verify the fact) that the document is also wholly copied straightly from another document that has the "identical" stamp "Original" and the "identical" signature.

Whether you would deem such a document an original or not would all depend on the strength of "appears to be". with no support by the fact.

It may appear to be a different document (original or copy) to a different checker.

This simple query may also have meant this scenario, although the chance may be remote. The answer may be different for an invoice (no signature needed) and a certificate (signature needed).

We must remember one fact that no one can sign an identical signature. Each signature should be a little different.
