ICC Model International Sale Contract (with CD-ROM)
Pub no: 556 |
A time-saving guide for traders, importers, lawyers and all parties involved important international transactions. The model contract was specifically developed for sales of manufactured goods intended for resale, where the purchaser is not a consumer and where the contract is an independent transaction rather than part of a long-term supply arrangement.
The ICC model is flexible enough to allow users either to incorporate only the general conditions common to all contracts or to include the specific conditions, which set out standard terms common to all contracts incorporating the ICC General Conditions of Sale.
Moreover, while the model contract subjects the transaction to the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), it also, in certain circumstances, permits the parties to incorporate specific conditions of national law.

A to Z really helps you understand the language of international trade.
Edited by respected US journalist and consultant Frank Reynolds, who has 35 years of "hands on" experience in the trade, A to Z is set to become the international trader's bible.

Preventing Financial Instrument Fraud
Pub no: 648 |
The Money Launderer's Tool
By ICC Commercial Crime Services
Recent years have seen a significant rise in the use of many documents - both genuine and fabricated, but always alleged to be of high value - that criminals and others use to raise and launder money.
As well as providing a complete analysis of the financial instruments used, the book carefully dissects the flaws in a specimen Internet site that claims to offer outstanding (but false) investment opportunities.
There are also a number of pertinent case studies that illustrate how criminals use documents to perpetrate a wide variety of very plausible scams, and how seriously the judiciary worldwide now treats this issue.
Preventing Financial Instrument Fraud will provide an invaluable reference manual and training aid for those in financial services, professional and private investors, and law enforcement agencies.

Fighting Corruption - A Corporate Practices Manual
Pub no: 652 |
Edited by François Vincke and Fritz Heimann
The new demands for better corporate governance pose a major challenge to corporate managers. Faced with a bewildering maze of new rules and regulations - on accounting, money laundering, conflicts of corporate interest - managers need a no-nonsense guide to cut through the fog of bureaucratic requirements. Fighting Corruption, written by businessmen for businessmen, is such a tool.
A reference book for our times Fighting corruption, once at the periphery of corporate concerns,has taken on a new urgency for companies due to events of the last several years:
The implementation of the OECD Convention on Combatingo Bribery of Foreign Public Officials,with 34 countries having ratified the Convention and passed implementing legislation to enforce it; Recento corporate scandals in the US and elsewhere that have sharply increased public concern about corporate governance, accounting and auditing; September 11o and the ensuing campaign against terrorism that have resulted in much intensified anti-money laundering programmes, as well as greater concern about Customs regulations.
The pace of new regulation requires that corporate managers have a practical guide to help them respond to the realities of doing business in the modern age. Fighting Corruption, produced by ICC, offers the tools to do so.

ICC Model Mergers & Acquisitions Contract 1 - Share Purchase Agreement
Pub no: 656 |
ICC Commission on Commercial Law & Practice. First in a series of models dealing with the transfer of a company or business.
This new model contract is the first in a series of ICC international Merger & Acquisition (M&A) agreements. The notion of M & A agreements, regards, broadly speaking, the transfer of a company or a business and covers a variety of contracts.
This first model is a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) in its simplest form, i.e. the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of one company. It is intended to assist parties and lawyers who are not specialized in M&A contracts to draft a simple contract covering the most common issues involved. This means that the model may not be appropriate for complex transactions nor for acquisitions of public companies.
The SPA contract takes account of all these specifics and contains enough flexibility for the parties to work out special situations for themselves.
Contents:
This model contract is broken down into several parts including:
1. Pre-closing and post-closing undertakings
2. Price and closing
3. Warranties, breach of warranties
4. Indemnification, indemnification procedure and limitation of liability
5. Restrictive covenants
6. Confidentiality / announcement
7. Many issues (e.g. conditions that must be met before closing) are covered in the useful annexes and schedules

Bank Guarantees in International Trade
Pub no: 661 |
It is an anomaly of international trade that a recognizable law of bank guarantees-in which the bank guarantee is independent from the principal contract-has developed in the absence of generally adopted international conventions.
A significant degree of uniform law across jurisdictional boundaries has spontaneously emerged, and national law in many countries has of its own accord developed along uniform lines.
Bank Guarantees in International Trade is the first book to "codify" this international law which, although not embodied in any one place, has nevertheless been clearly established in practice since about 1980.
Contents:
Overview
Types of Guarantee
Conditions of Payment (Payment Mechanism)
Legal Nature
Parties to the Underlying Relationship
Role and Position of the Bank Issuing Guarantees as a Financial Service
Drafting and Clauses
Relationship between Account Party - First Instructing Bank - Second Issuing Bank Introduction and Structure
Relationship between Account Party - Bank (Direct Guarantee)
Relationship between Account Party - First Instructing Bank - Second Issuing Bank (Indirect Guarantee). Counter-Guarantee
Other Aspects of the Guarantee

The Concept of Fraud
Fraud and the Position of the Bank

Collected DOCDEX Decisions 1997 - 2003
Pub no: 665 |
33 Decisions by ICC experts resolving real life disputes about documentary credits
First introduced in 1997, DOCDEX is a rapid, cost-effective dispute resolution system intended to desolve disputes involving ICC rules on documentary credits (UCP 500).
Expanded in 2002 to cover the ICC Uniform Rules for Collections (URC) and the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees (URDG),DOCDEX has been used by practitioners worldwide who need quick decisions on outstanding conflicts.
Contents:
How it works: In the DOCDEX process, the parties (or one of them) present their arguments on a dispute, plus all documents relating to it, to the ICC International Center for expertise. The Center then appoints a panel of three experts to decide the issues in the case. The process normally takes 30-60 days, with most cases resolved within 30 days. As a result, lengthy and expensive court cases can often be avoided.
Now, for the first time, all of the DOCDEX decisions taken over a seven-year period have been collected in a single volume. This indexed volume of DOCDEX decisions gives the reader an insight into the thinking of ICC experts who must judge difficult cases involving ICC rules. As such, it's an invaluable companion to the rules themselves.

UCP 600, ICC's new rules on documentary credits, come into effect on 1 July 2007. Now, members of the Drafting Group that produced the new UCP 600 have collaborated to produce this Commentary explaining the rationale behind the changes in the new rules.

contentious issues in the new rules, among them:
the term "on their face" and why it was dropped in all but one UCP article;

International Standard Banking Practice (ISBP) 2007
Pub no: 681 |
For the Examination of Documents under Documentary Credits 2007 Revision for UCP 600
This publication, an update of the successful ICC Publication 645, reflects international standard banking practice for all parties to a documentary credit under UCP 600.
Figures show that more than 50% of credits are rejected for discrepancies on first presentation. The new ISBP, by encouraging a uniformity of practice worldwide, should reduce that figure dramatically and, by doing so, facilitate the flow of world trade.
In this volume, users will find guidance on how to deal with documents covering at least two different modes of transport (UCP 600 article 19); insurance documents and coverage (UCP 600 article 28); transferable credits (UCP 600 article 38) and a broad range of other issues covered in the new documentary credit rules.
