Comparisons

The 1992 ISDA just really tidied up the expression from the 1987 ISDA — here is a comparison.

The 2002 ISDA takes the 1992 ISDA adds a little detail to deal with Illegality and the newly-introduced Force Majeure notices — here is a comparison.

Basics

“Terminated Transactions” might help answer the vexed question of what that curious “by not more than 20 days’ notice” period for a close-out notice under Section 6(a) is meant to achieve. You may have a Transaction that is due to roll off and you want it to settle before you close out the portfolio. It is not a very compelling reason, in fairness. But it at least suggests someone on the ISDA drafting commitee was thinking about it, even if not especially insightfully.
