In particular, this article by looking at case law raises three questions. First, is the doctrine of strict compliance effective when in a majority of transactions the documents tendered are discrepant due to actual fraud and mere fraud? Secondly, what is the appropriate degree of burden of proof used by the courts to justify non-payment for standby credits given the case of perpetrating fraud there under? And lastly, what has caused the demise of the traditional bill of Lading to a more electronic mode of negotiability?
