The Promissory Note For Delayed Documents is a specialized financial instrument used in the United Arab Emirates when parties need to proceed with a transaction while certain critical documents are still pending or in transit. This document type is particularly valuable in international trade and commercial transactions where documentation delays are common but business continuity is essential. The instrument is governed by UAE Federal Law No. 18 of 1993 (Commercial Transactions Law) and must meet specific legal requirements to be enforceable. It provides security to the payee while acknowledging the maker's commitment to pay upon either the receipt of documents or at a specified future date. The document typically includes details of the pending documentation, payment terms, and any conditions related to the document delivery, making it a crucial tool in trade finance and commercial operations within the UAE jurisdiction.
