Abstract
This article challenges the notion that inquiries into bad faith and unconscionability in the underlying contract are proper when a letter of credit applicant seeks to stop payment under a letter of credit. Judicial inquiry into the underlying contract to determine whether there has been bad faith or unconscionable conduct retards the quick-payment feature of letters of credit, increases their costs, and externalizes what should be the applicant’s costs on the letter of credit as a commercial product.
