LG Electronics has unveiled many new products, applied new technologies in the form of mobile devices and digital TVs in the 21st century and continues to reinforce its status as a global company.South Korea's cultural backgroundAs we all know,differentcountries and regions of the culture will be different, and about South Korea's cultural background we know have serval part of understanding. To start with, In South Korea the family, the father as a family elder, his wife and children must become a model of respect and emulate, and its authority to statesman. This paternalistic authority acts directly manifested in the business owners and managers in leadership. They manage subordinate staff time, to play its competence and authority to rule his subordinates, subordinates expect their warmth and loving obedience to their authority while conscious. We called that Parental authority. Next, the idea of master-slave relationship and obedience heart vertical of privileges Korean relations between enterprises in the business owners and the staff has a great influence. So obedience awareness of the genus is one of the important factors of centralized decision-making structure of Korean companies in the host system.In addition, affiliation and exclusive awareness is theanother feature of Korean traditional culture , which means is blood and geopolitical and learning edge to the center of affiliation and exclusive awareness on human relations, the relationship between the group and the formation of the rights structure plays a decisive role. Such subordinate consciousness and exclusivism is the result of influence by the traditional Confucian thinking of the family-centered. Confucian thought by advocating for seniors and respect for parents as well as immediate family intimacy for the first consciousness with great impact. The difference between the two classes and the common people, the highly educated and lower levels of education to traditional social class consciousness, status and identity consciousness with great impact.Finally, about Ownership and management structure,In South Korea, the eldest son of the traditional system of priority as the center, the eldest sonInherit ownership of enterprises, this system enables concentration of ownership in the businessLord's family, which is an important factor in the formation of centralized system management structure.Moreover, from a historical point of view, Korea is very limited private capital, business capital and concentrated in a few wealthy classes, so that enterprises have to rely on banks. This business structure is formed with government interference in business related.LGE HR SystemAbout the LG HR system, we knew thatLG Electronics utilizes a variety of recruiting channels to secure top-quality global talent. Once employed, they are given many opportunities throughout their careers to make use of lifelong education resources and develop into global business leaders.In an effort to foster greater talent based on a longer-term strategy, LG Electronics offers three different career development tracks (Business Leader, Function Leader, and Expert) to satisfy disparate career development needs and offers a wide range of training programs tailored specifically to their career development tracks and stages.LGE’s annual recruitment events have been holding in universities in Korea and overseasto acquire outstanding individuals throughout the world.

In order to help our employees achieve both individual and organizational growth, LG Electronics operates the Job Training Program as a part of the Company’s employee training system.LGE has a single standardized process that governs the evaluation and incentive systems for all our employees. Its performance-based evaluation process takes a relative approach to raise the effectiveness of evaluation and facilitate differentiated compensation. LGE has established corporate-wide standard process and regulations, and it has been applying this towards the evaluation/incentive HR system. Capability evaluation on performance and team capability of office employees is conducted once a year to comprehensively evaluate the employee’s degree of achievement of goals, difficulty of goals, and competitiveness. The performance evaluation will be reflected on the individual’s salary increase & incentive bonus and the capability evaluation will be reflected on promotion. 360-degree multi-faceted evaluation of the leadership of managers is conducted once a year. LGE places high importance on the basic insight of an individual for promotion and conducts a promotion training program to ensure that the promoted employee will possess appropriate insight.All employees of LGE are eligible to join and participate in the activities of labor unions, in accordance with the relevant collective bargaining agreements and labor union regulations. In addition to the quarterly labor-management meeting and annual Collective bargaining, LGE communicates various issues, including working conditions, regularly through diverse channels. Both parties negotiate in good faith and with patience on important agendas to reach an agreement. In addition, LGE also operates the Junior Board to obtain suggestions from both union and non-union members.

To this end, LGE operate a three-step employee grievance resolution process composed of submission, resolution, and feedback & awareness promotion.LGE HR FeaturesLGE HR has seven features:Creativity andautonomy: an individual's creativity is the basis for value creation. LG Electronics respects diversity and autonomy, allowing each of its employees to exercise their creativity to the full.Competence: Competence is t he cornerstone of performance and thus LGE takes employees’ competence to be the most important factor their personnel decisions.Performance-based rewards: Rewards based on performance are essential for motivation. LG Electronics evaluates performance results fairly and rewards employees accordingly.Equal opportunities: Equal opportunities build trust among people. LG Electronics ensures equal opportunities among employees regardless of gender, race, age, religion, or nationality.Long-term perspective: Maintaining a long-term perspective is the foundation for LGE's human resource policies.

Fixed salaries are determined every year through a fair evaluation process. Flexible salaries are immediate rewards given to individual employees for their performance and competence.Similarities and DifferencesAbout the HR of similarities and differences in China and South Korean, our group also had research and found five aspects.The first aspect about high power distance, soften the gap, South Korean companies a high degree of family-based and the joining together of ownership and management, cause a south Korean company highly centralized, and the leadership of enterprises enjoy great authority, the low degree of employee participation. In order to make up for shortcomings arising from highly centralized and South Korean companies in soft management "intelligence" have been very successful. In LGE companies, leadership attaches great importance to harmony and peace, and at the same time especially between different administrativehierarchies, attaches great importance to its subordinate relationship, trying to understanding of the needs and feelings. Managers will constantly create all kinds of communication opportunities, such as invite their subordinates to dinner; Subordinates can also invite the manager went to their homes to chat alone. Produced by this kind of informal communication to make up for a highly centralized communication is poor, is not conducive to create defects such as the harmonious relationship between employees and managers.The second about the collectivism, and do not break individual character, China and South Korea are collectivism countries. When Chineseenterprises emphasize collectivism with particular emphasis on collective interests above personal interests, and attention to the collective interests sacrifice personal interests, emphasizing personal dedication to the collective. And the collectivism in the Korean corporate culture is a kind of pursuit of the overall means of excellence, by unanimous pursuit to maximize the overall interests. Although the Confucian cultural influence on South Korea, but due to the effect of American individualism, South Korea's corporate culture and advocating competition, emphasize individual ability.LGE motivates every employee to become a collective one molecule, with particular emphasis on pride, the sense of cooperation and solidarity, and motivate employees cultivate the spirit of collectivism, and solidarity, unite to contribute to the enterprise.Strong Masculinity, and do not break traditional feminism is the third aspect .Korean culture with the Confucian culture core values such as righteousness, loyalty, self-effacing, reflecting the traditional feminism. In the LGE shows: through internal unity and harmony, realize commonefforts; Avoid extreme opposites, with compromise way to solve the contradiction; Attaches great importance to the feminist characteristics of non-material incentives.But at the same time, because of the special history and geography background, after entering the modern, South Korea has a blend of Buddhist and Christian and other foreign culture, in the realm of ideas to achieve the transformation of the core values of Confucianism and alienation. And it is this combination of ethics and western civilization of the east, and South Korean people have a strong sense of self-excitation and exclusive sense of urgency and solidarity, achievement of strong masculinity values.Next, South Korean companyindustrious and enterprising risk-taking to avoid uncertainty. Because of South Korea's lack of natural resources and social unrest, so that the Korean people's psychological produced a survival crisis. In order to minimize the uncertainty of life, the South Korean people are especially diligent. Serious working attitude and diligent work ethic becomes an important feature of LGE’s culture. But on the ot her hand, due to the influence of American culture, LGE full of enthusiasm and challenging spirit, boldly into new areas to overseas investment, risk, to stability.Train their consciousness of family community around the uncertainty. South Korean companies try to give employees the working relationship between stability and good working environment. LGE has established such as treatment for employees to take family members, induced by providing business intelligence staff involved in enterprise management, lifelong employees and a series of system, making LGE management activities can go smoothly in the stable labor relations.The last, long-term and short-term oriented combination, Korean companies are an excellent fusion of Chinese Confucian culture and Western culture combination, LGE not only pay attention to short-term shareholder returns, but also pay attention to the customer, and environmental development, pay more attention to social responsibility as a precondition for sustainable development.South Korean entrepreneurs with long-term development vision and can focus on the short to medium term. LGE companies can have today's achievement, over theyearunremitting efforts, with the result of the long-term strategic development vision. No one is born with a very strong business, mostly to experience steeled from weak to strong, and gradually grow in the process.These are our group survey of case analysis of LG.。

英文法律案例分析题(3篇)

第1篇Introduction:The case of Smith v. Johnson is a notable legal dispute that revolves around the issue of negligence and breach of contract. This case has significant implications for the interpretation of contractual obligations and the application of the principle of negligence in tort law. The following analysis will delve into the facts of the case, the legal arguments presented by both parties, and the reasoning behind the court's decision.Facts of the Case:John Smith, the plaintiff, entered into a contract with Michael Johnson, the defendant, to construct a new house on a piece of land owned by Smith. The contract explicitly stated that Johnson was to complete the construction within six months from the date of the agreement. However, Johnson failed to meet the agreed-upon deadline and completed the construction after eight months.During the construction period, Smith noticed several defects in the house, including cracks in the walls, leaks in the roof, and improper electrical wiring. Smith notified Johnson of these defects, but Johnson failed to rectify them. As a result, Smith incurred additional expenses for repairs and alterations to the house.Smith brought a lawsuit against Johnson, claiming that Johnson breached the contract by failing to complete the construction within the agreed-upon timeframe and by failing to rectify the defects. Johnson, on the other hand, argued that he was not negligent and that any defects in the construction were not his fault.Legal Arguments:1. Breach of Contract:Smith's primary legal argument was that Johnson breached the contract by failing to complete the construction within the agreed-upon timeframe. He relied on the provisions of the contract and the principle of privityof contract, which states that only parties to a contract can enforceits terms. Smith argued that Johnson's failure to complete the construction on time caused him financial loss and damage to his property.2. Negligence:Smith also alleged that Johnson was negligent in the construction process, leading to the defects in the house. He argued that Johnson's failure to take reasonable care during the construction resulted in the defects, and that Johnson should be held liable for the resulting damages.Defenses:1. No Breach of Contract:Johnson argued that there was no breach of contract because the contract did not explicitly state penalties for late completion. He claimed that the contract was a mere agreement to construct a house and that there was no enforceable obligation to complete the construction within a specific timeframe.2. No Negligence:Johnson denied any negligence on his part and argued that the defects in the house were due to unforeseen circumstances or inherent defects in the materials used. He claimed that he acted with due care and that any defects were not his fault.Court's Decision:The court, after considering the evidence and arguments presented by both parties, found Johnson liable for both breach of contract and negligence. The court held that the contract explicitly stated the timeframe for completion, and Johnson's failure to meet that deadline constituted a breach of contract. The court also found that Johnson was negligent in the construction process, as he failed to take reasonable care to ensure the quality of the work.The court awarded Smith damages for the additional expenses incurred due to the defects in the house. The court also ordered Johnson to rectify the defects at his own expense.Reasoning:The court's decision was based on the following reasoning:1. Breach of Contract:The court held that the contract between Smith and Johnson was a valid agreement, and the terms of the contract were clear and enforceable. The court emphasized that the contract explicitly stated the timeframe for completion, and Johnson's failure to meet that deadline was a clear breach of contract.2. Negligence:The court found that Johnson was negligent in the construction process. The court held that Johnson had a duty to take reasonable care in the construction work and that his failure to do so resulted in the defects in the house. The court also considered the principle of proximity, which requires the court to determine whether the plaintiff's harm was a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant's actions.Conclusion:The case of Smith v. Johnson highlights the importance of adhering to contractual obligations and taking reasonable care in the performance of duties. The court's decision emphasizes the enforceability of contracts and the principle of negligence in tort law. This case serves as a valuable precedent for future legal disputes involving breach of contract and negligence claims.第2篇Introduction:In this legal case analysis, we will delve into the case of Smith v. Johnson, a landmark case that addresses the issue of negligence and its implications in the context of property damage. The case revolves aroundthe negligence of the defendant, Johnson, in relation to the property owned by the plaintiff, Smith. The court's decision in this case will have significant implications for the law of negligence and property damage claims.Background:The plaintiff, Smith, owned a residential property in a busy urban area. The defendant, Johnson, was a tenant who rented a part of the property for commercial purposes. During the tenancy, Johnson caused significant damage to the property due to his negligence in handling a gas leak. The gas leak resulted in a fire that destroyed a portion of the property. Smith filed a lawsuit against Johnson, seeking compensation for the damages caused.Facts:1. Smith owned a residential property in a busy urban area.2. Johnson rented a part of the property for commercial purposes.3. Johnson was responsible for handling the gas leak in his rented space.4. Johnson failed to address the gas leak promptly, leading to a fire that destroyed a portion of the property.5. Smith filed a lawsuit against Johnson, seeking compensation for the damages caused.Issues:1. Did Johnson owe a duty of care to Smith?2. Did Johnson breach the duty of care by failing to address the gas leak promptly?3. Did the breach of duty by Johnson cause the damages suffered by Smith?4. Was the damages suffered by Smith direct and proximate consequences of Johnson's negligence?Discussion:1. Duty of Care:The first issue in this case is whether Johnson owed a duty of care to Smith. The general principle in tort law is that individuals have a duty to act with reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others. In this case, Johnson, as a tenant, had a duty to take reasonable precautions to prevent harm to the property owned by Smith. The court will likely find that Johnson owed a duty of care to Smith, as he had a direct relationship with the property and had a responsibility to maintain it.2. Breach of Duty:The second issue is whether Johnson breached the duty of care by failing to address the gas leak promptly. Johnson's failure to take immediate action in the face of a potential gas leak can be considered a breach of his duty of care. The court will likely find that Johnson breached the duty of care by failing to address the gas leak promptly, as it resulted in a fire that caused significant damage to the property.3. Causation:The third issue is whether the breach of duty by Johnson caused the damages suffered by Smith. The court will need to determine whether there is a direct and proximate causal link between Johnson's negligence and the damages suffered by Smith. In this case, the fire caused by the gas leak is a direct consequence of Johnson's negligence. Therefore, the court is likely to find that the breach of duty by Johnson caused the damages suffered by Smith.4. Damages:The fourth issue is whether the damages suffered by Smith were direct and proximate consequences of Johnson's negligence. The damages in this case are direct and proximate because they resulted from the fire caused by the gas leak, which was directly caused by Johnson's negligence. The court will likely find that the damages suffered by Smith were direct and proximate consequences of Johnson's negligence.Decision:Based on the analysis of the issues, the court is likely to find infavor of the plaintiff, Smith. Johnson owed a duty of care to Smith, breached that duty by failing to address the gas leak promptly, and caused the damages suffered by Smith. Therefore, the court is likely to award Smith compensation for the damages caused by Johnson's negligence.Conclusion:The case of Smith v. Johnson highlights the importance of negligence and its implications in property damage claims. The court's decision in this case will serve as a precedent for future cases involving similar issues. It emphasizes the duty of care that individuals have towards others, particularly in relation to property, and the consequences of failing to act with reasonable care. The decision in this case reinforces the principle that negligence can lead to significant financial liabilityand underscores the importance of taking prompt action to prevent harm.第3篇Introduction:Negligence is a fundamental concept in tort law, which refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person.

The case (2022 ONSC 2567) is instructive of the care required when taking letters of credit and presenting them for payment.•The Bank’s Refusal•The Bank’s refusal to pay funds to Piaggio pursuant to the LC’s was on the basis that the named beneficiary of the LC’s did not conform to t he name on the draw documents in amaterial respect.

英文案例分析

Case 1One Chinese company exported a contract of Grade B Peanuts to a foreign country importer. When the seller was working on the delivery of the goods, he found that the Grade B Peanuts were out of stock. Without prior consent of the buyer, the seller delivered the Grade A Peanuts instead of Grade B Peanuts and stated on the invoice “Grade A Peanuts, price is the same”, while the buyer refused the consignment.Question:In this situation, does the buyer hold the repudiation rights? Why?Answer:The buyer has the right to refuse to pay. This is because both sides confirmed the Grade B Peanuts when signing the contract, which holds a legal effect. If the seller gets the buyer’s consent, he can change the peanuts grade. So the buyer has the power to refuse to pay.Case 2One Chinese company exported a contract of agricultural products to a German company. The contract stipulates that moisture not exceeds 15%, impurity not more than 3%. Before the deal closing, the seller sent the buyer the samples and after the contracting the seller immediately faxed the buyer that the consignment was similar to the sample. After the shipment arrived at Germany the buyer had the goods inspected. Later, the buyer showed the inspection certificate, saying that the quality of the goods was inferior to the samples’, and then he put forward a claim for compensation of £6 000, finally the Chinese company paid the compensation.Question:Please analyze the case.Answer:The transaction belongs to the sample trading. In international trade, in order to avoid the situation that the seller’s delivery quality is inconsistent with the requirement of the buyer, which leads to the buyer’s claim, the seller may ask the buyer for a sample in advance and the seller shall provide a tailored sample according to the sample from the buyer for confirmation; this is called “confirming sample”. When the sample is confirmed by the buyer, all the quality of the goods must be the same as the sample’s. In the contract, it’s beneficial for the seller to issue the quarantine inspection and quarantine certificates.Case 3A China’s export company made a transaction of apples with a foreign company. It’s stipulated “second-class apple”in the quality terms on the contract of sales and letter of credit. However, they found the second-class apple had been all sold out when they began to arrange the shipment. As a result, the company switched to the delivery of “first-class apples”, and the invoice stated that: “the price of the first-class apples is the same as that of the second-class”. Finally, the importer refused to accept and to pay due to the inconsistency with the quality contract terms. Question:What do you think of this case?Answer:Under normal circumstances, the practice of substituting the superior goods for the inferior ones will be quite acceptable. However, if the market price of the goods is nose-diving or some otherabnormal things happen, the importer sometimes will avail of the opportunity to refuse the goods or claim with the excuse of quality inconsistency with the contract. Therefore, the quality provisions of the contract formation and performance are a loaded matter of great significance.Case 4An export company in China entered into a transaction with a Russian company, stating: soybean net weight of 100 kilograms per bag, 1 000 bags , a total of 100 metric tons. However, after the goods arrived in Russia, the customs discovered the soybean net weight of 94 kilograms per bag, 1 000 bags, a total of 94 tons. At that time, the market price was falling. So by the reason of the discrepancies between the document and the cargo, the Russian company asked for 5% price reduction, otherwise he would reject the goods.Question:Are Russian side’s requests reasonable? What measures should the Chinese exporter take for remedy?Answer:Russian side’s request is reasonable. (1) When there is no more or less clause, delivery should be strictly in accordance with the contract. (2) Under the letter of credit, a 5% expansion for quantity of goods is allowed while the amount of value can’t exceed the amount stipulated in the L/C. However, the proportion of our stretching is more than 5%. Therefore, the Chinese exporter has breached the contract.As for the buyer’s requests for price reductions, the seller may consult with clients to conclude the transaction with international market prices so as to reduce losses.Case 5A foreign trade company exported 1 000 sets of typewriters. The L/C stipulated that partial shipment was prohibited. But nonetheless, when the consignments were gathering at the port for shipment, the seller found that 45 sets of goods got problem in packing and quality. Since it was an emergency and in order to assure of the quality, the exporter believed that according to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary credits, even if it doesn’t allow the partial shipment, there is a more-or-less clause by 5%. Eventually, the seller loaded 955 sets virtually whereas the goods were rejected by the negotiating bank.Question:Please explain the reasons.Answer:According to UCP600, unless the quantity of credit is specified in L/C, even if the partial shipments are not allowed, the quantity of goods allowed 5% more or less in quantity in condition that the total amount paid does not exceed the amount of credit conditions. However, this clause can not apply to situation when the quantity is provided by counting the number of packing units. In this case, typewriter is counted by set, belonging to the exceptions of the above clause. 5% more or less in quantity is not allowed. Therefore, the bank refused to negotiate the document because of discrepancies found by reviewing the L/C and other documents.Case 6An ore exporting contract specified the terms as follows: “25 000 M / T 3% more or less atseller’s option.”When the seller prepared to take delivery, the international market prices of ore went upward.Question:(1) How much are you going to deliver as a seller? Why?(2) Standing in the position of the buyer, what should be paid attention to during negotiation of the terms of the contract?Answer:The seller may load less cargo than stipulated, because international market price of the goods raised sharply, which subject the seller to a loss if delivering the cargo more than stipulated. More delivery means more losses. According to the present conditions, the seller can deliver only 22 750 tons of cargo.As a buyer, in order to avoid the seller’s taking advantage of the changes in market prices for additional profits, it would stipulate in the contract: the price of more or less part of the cargo loaded may comply with the market prices in time of shipment or comply with the contract price.Case 7One Chinese export company exported some goods to Canada, valued at $800 000. The contract stated that it should be packed in plastic bags, marks with English and French on each item. But the Chinese company used other packaging instead in the actual delivery, and still used only English marks. The foreign merchant, in order to adapt to the requirements of the local market and sales, hired people to change the packing and shipping marks. Then he asked for claim against the Chinese company. The Chinese company recognized something wrong, so compensated the customer.Question:Try to analyse the case.Answer:At present, many countries made regulations about packaging and labeling for commodities sold in the market and the imported goods must conform to the regulations, or else they will be prohibited for import or sale in the market. Label is a sign which is attached on the goods or packaging referring to the country, manufacturer, name of goods, goods components, quality characteristics, use method, etc. In making the sales package label, we should pay attention to the relevant state regulations for the administration of the label. Some developed countries often avail of these regulations as means of import restrictions which should cause enough attention. For example, in the European Union, there has a series of merchandise; basic content is commodity itself or packaging must with correct tags that can be fully read, and understandable. From this perspective, the seller failed to strictly, according to contract, perform prescribed packing conditions which shall be deemed to be the obligation to a breach of contract. Our company has two faults, one is changing packaging materials, although the quality of goods itself is not affected; the another fault is that the mark is not stipulated according to the contract, due to the products’belonging to the French area, the filling is often in French. Anyhow, in order to successfully export, we must understand and adapt to the special requirements of different state regulations, in order to reduce unnecessary troubleCase 8British Moore Company with the condition of CIF, bought from LanTuo company 300 cases of canned fruit in Australia. The contract with a provision reads: “Packed in carton, 30 tins in each carton.”It was found that 150 cases that the seller delivered were 30 tins in each carton, the rest were 24 tins per box. The buyer refused the goods while the seller argued that 30 tins per box is not an important part of the contract, and with the quality, no matter it was 30 or 24 tins per box, it was correspond to the contract’s quality requirement, therefore, the buyer should accept. Question:Please analyse the case.Answer:The law in some countries divides the sale into two categories, sale by sample and sale by illustration. The latter includes a very wide scope, not only involves goods quality issues, also including quantity, even in the contract on shipment, packaging and goods with the statement. According to the British business law, all the “explanation”items are the elements of the contract. If they are violated, the buyer is entitled to the rejection of the goods and may lodge a claim. In this case, the British law believes that packaging belongs to “explanation”part that is vital and since the seller made a breach of contract, the buyer had reasons to refuse all the goods, and also could accept the part fulfilling that are with the provisions and rejecting the rest and claim for damages.。

How to Distinguish a Partial ShipmentA Shan dong company exported a group of peanuts overseas,the foreign customer opened an irrevocable letter of credit,with shipment terms:“Shipment from Chinese port to Singapore in May.Partial shipment prohibited”.Because of shortage of supply,prior to May 15th,loaded 200 metric tons of peanuts at the port of Qingdao by S.S.“Dongfeng”,and obtained a bill of lading;then they got a number of sources in Yantai,under the premise that the exporter should bear the related costs the ship sailed to Yantai Port and 300 metric tons of peanuts were installed on the same ship.On May 20th obtained the bill of lading.After that the exporter submitted two sets of bills within the credit period to the bank for negotiation,the bank dishonored on the grounds of partial shipment which is not consistent to the L/C.Question:Is the bank’s dishonor reasonable? Why?5. Who Should Be Responsible for the Damaged TeaEntrusted by a goods owner,a forwarding agent arranged the export of a shipment of tea by sea.The forwarding agent finished the container packing and gave the container that was fully loaded with the goods to the shipping company.In the mean time,the owner of the goods got the cargo transaction insurance by itself.The consignee found the container sending out very disgusting odor when it unpacked the container to pick up the goods.After related investigation it was found that it was due to the fact that the container had carried caffeine during its last shipment,and,as a result,the tea in this shipment was contaminated.Questions:(1)To whom the consignee can claim? Why?(2)Who should take the liability of the tea contamination accident?6.There Was an FOB contract;the buyer had insured the “all risks”of “warehouse to warehouse clause”with the insurance company.When the seller was shipping the goods from the warehouse to the loading dock,the risk losses took place within the scope of underwriting,after that the seller claimed to the insurance company for compensation because the insurance policies contain“warehouse to warehouse clause”,but was refused.Later,the seller requested the buyer to claim, and also was rejected.Question:Please analyze the case.7. The Possibilities of Getting Back the Money When the Draft is on DueCompany A from China exported to Company B of Thailand.Payment was to be made by D/P at 90 days after sight.After the shipment of goods,draft and shipping documents were sent to the foreign collection bank through remitting bank in the exporter’s country.Company B had accepted the draft.After the arrival of the goods at the port of destination,Company B presented the trust receipt and took delivery of the goods for resale in advance against the borrowed shipping documents from the local collecting bank, because B was in urgent need ofthe goods.When the draft was falling due,B became insolvent because of poor management.The collecting bank informed the remitting bank that the drawee rejected the payment and suggested Company A to collect the money back directly from Company B.There was another 30 days left before the draft was due.Question:Please analyse the possibilities of getting back the money when the draft is on due,and provide your suggestions of how to solve the problem.8. The Relationship between the Issuing Bank and the BeneficiaryA light industrial products import and export company from Nantong,Jiangsu Province imported a batch of small household electrical appliances.The goods were to be shipped in two lots,and payment was to be made by negotiable irrevocable letter of credit.A branch of Bank of China was to open a letter of credit for each lot.After the first shipment,the seller presented the documents to the bank for negotiation.The negotiating bank,after checking,found no discrepancy and thus negotiated the draft.The branch office of Bank of China later reimbursed the negotiating bank.The importer of Nantong received the first shipment and found the quality of the goods did not match the stipulations of the contract,and then asked the Bank of China to refuse the payment for the second lot of the goods under the second L/C.The Bank of China refused the importer’s requirement.Question:Is it right for Bank of China to do so? Why?9.An import and export company in China reached a transaction of exporting sickle to a Thailand importer by“sale by samples”.The contract stipulated that the valid period of re-inspection was within 60 days after the goods arrival at the port of destination.The Thailand importer did not raise any objections to the goods after the re-inspection of the arrival goods at the port of destination.100 days later,however, the Thailand importer called,saying that:All the sickles were rusted and had to be on sale.Therefore the Thailand importer claimed a 40%of the total price as a compensation for their losses.Then the seller immediately reviewed our retained sample,also found the similar problem.Question:Should the seller agree on the buyer's requirements? Why?10.Look through the following telex-messages:(1)A sent B on Wednesday a telex:“The Chinese Rosin W-level of 100 metric tons,the Hong Kong Ex-factory price of USD 500 per metric ton,spot cash transaction,be opened by Friday.”(2)B replied the telex on Thursday:“The Chinese rosin W-class,100 metric tons,the Hong Kong Ex-factory price of USD 500 per metric ton,do you agree the delivery within two months.”(3)B immediately sent a telex,at 1:25 p.m. on Friday, pending the receipt of A’s reply,to accept the offer:“We accept the offer of the Chinese rosin W-class,100 metric tons,the Hong Kong Ex-factory price of USD 500 per metric ton,cash spot transaction.”Question:Was the contractual relationship established? Why?。
