向明华律师从事涉外经济审判、海事审判，担任仲裁员、兼职律师二十多年，承办了大量的各类案件，其中不乏新型、疑难、复杂案件。现对三个案例进行介绍。
Mr. Xiang Minghua has been engaged in foreign-related economic trials, maritime trials, as an arbitrator or part-time lawyer for more than 20 years, during which he has undertaken a large number of cases, including myriad novel, difficult and complex cases.
一、最高人民法院指导案例111号
1. No.111 Guiding Case of the Supreme People's Court
最高人民法院指导案例111号，即中国建设银行股份有限公司广州荔湾支行与广东蓝粤能源发展有限公司等信用证开证纠纷再审案［（2015）民提字第126号］。
The Supreme People's Court Guiding Case No. 111, namely, the retrial case of letter of credit issurance dispute between China Construction Bank Guangzhou Liwan Sub-branch and Guangdong Lan Yue Energy Development Company Limited [(2015) Min Tizi No. 126].
本人指导建行广州荔湾支行向最高人民法院申请再审，认为，一、二审法院错误地否定提单的物权凭证法律属性及其对世效力、错误地适用普通法律处理海运提单、跟单信用证、商业信托商事特别法律关系，属于典型的法律适用重大错误。
The lawyer instructed CCB Guangzhou Liwan Branch to apply to the Supreme People's Court for retrial, arguing that the courts of first and second instance erroneously denied the legal attributes of the bill of lading as a document in rem and its effect on the world, and erroneously applied ordinary law to deal with maritime bills of lading, documentary credits and special legal relationships of commercial trust, which is a typical major error in the application of law.
最高人民法院再审判决，撤销二审法院判决，维持一审法院有关支付信用证款项本息及担保人连带担保责任的判项，并改判确认建行广州荔湾支行对案涉信用证项下提单货物处置价款享有优先受偿权。
The Supreme People's Court ruled that the judgment of the Court of Second Instance shall be reversed and the judgment of the Court of First Instance regarding the payment of the principal and interest of the letter of credit and the guarantor's joint and several guarantee liability be upheld, and ruled that the CCB Guangzhou Liwan Branch should have the priority right to the disposal price of the bill of lading goods under the letter of credit in question.
最高人民法院在该再审案中澄清了我国审判实务中若干重要的复杂、疑难问题，对于我国涉外审判具有重要的指导意义，被纳入最高人民法院2017年发布的第二批10个涉“一带一路”建设典型案例，并位居首位。
The Supreme People's Court clarified a number of complex and difficult issues in China's trial practice through this retrial case, which is of great guiding significance for China's foreign-related trials and was included and ranked first in the second batch of 10 typical cases on the "Belt and Road" construction issued by the Supreme People's Court in 2017.
二、原告泉州市锦程海运公司、南京远洋运输股份有限公司与被告中国人民保险有限公司北海分公司船舶保险合同纠纷案
2. Ship insurance contract dispute between the plaintiff Quanzhou Jincheng Shipping Company, Nanjing Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. and the defendant People's Insurance Company of China Beihai Branch
该案系本人在广州海事法院工作期间主审的一宗复杂疑难案件。涉案保险标的物为“南京”轮。1999年1月19日1930时，“南京”轮在上海港黄浦江董家渡附近江面行驶中，因舵机失灵，碰撞上海港煤炭装卸公司所属北栈码头及“煤司拖1”、“煤司拖2”、“煤司拖3”三艘拖轮等，导致巨额损失。该案案情复杂，涉及多个法律疑难问题。该案为我国首份在判决书中公开合议庭成员的不同裁决意见，并在中国涉外海事商事审判网上公开的海事裁判文书，影响巨大。
The lawyer presided this complex case when he served in Guangzhou Maritime Court. The insurance subject matter of the case was MV "Nanjing". At 1930 hours on January 19, 1999, MV "Nanjing" was running on the river near Dongjiadu of Huangpu River in Shanghai Port when its rudder failed and the vessel collided with the North Terminal of Shanghai Port Coal Handling Company and three tug boats "Meisi Tug 1", " Meisi Tug 2" and " Meisi Tug 3", resulting in huge losses. The case was complex and involved many legal difficulties. The judgement of the case is the Chinese first maritime adjudication document that disclosed the different rulings of the panel members and is made public with great influence on China's foreign-related maritime commercial trial website.
三、华杰集团有限公司与深圳市鑫汇鹏投资管理有限公司等借款合同纠纷案
Loan Contract disputes between Huajie Ltd. and Shenzhen Xinhuipeng Investment Management Co., Ltd. and others
该案系本人作为被上诉人代理律师参与的一宗涉外借款合同纠纷案。该案上诉人华杰集团有限公司为香港公司，其以一审法院送达程序不合法等理由提起上诉，试图阻止一审判决的生效与强制执行。二审法院接受本人提出的相应代理意见，判决驳回上诉。
The case is a foreign loan contract dispute in which the lawyer represented the appellee, Shenzhen Xinhuipeng. In the case, Huajie Group Limited, a Hong Kong company, appealed on the grounds that the service of process by the court of first instance was illegal and attempted to prevent the first instance judgment from taking effect. The court of second instance accepted his representation opinion and ruled to reject the appeal.
