Delhi High Court Decides for Beneficiary. What Took So Long?

Delhi High Court Decides for Beneficiary. What Took So Long?

The judgment issued earlier this year in Kannu Exports v. Banque Nationale De Paris (Suisse) S.A.[[1]] concludes a more than two decades-long dispute between Banque Nationale De Paris (Suisse) (LC Issuing Bank) and Kannu Exports (Beneficiary). Upon presentation, Issuing Bank refused to pay under the LC issued subject to UCP500 in 1998, citing purported discrepancies. After a long wait, the case was decided ultimately in favour of the Beneficiary.
