ICC Opinion TA952

ICC Opinion TA952 involves two open-ended guarantees issued subject to URDG 458 (1992) and French law. Although the applicant indicated that the underlying obligations for the guarantees have been satisfied, the beneficiary “no longer exists” and therefore cannot affirm the obligations have been fulfilled. The Query asks a series of questions, including whether URDG 758 supersedes URDG 458, whether the guarantor can cancel the guarantees outright or based on beneficiary’s prolonged silence as evidence they no longer exist. Also, what proof, if any, the guarantor needs to furnish that the beneficiary no longer exists and whether the beneficiary would have any legal recourse to claim on the guarantees if they were cancelled.
