This gentleman’s opinion is predicated on the risk that a court would interpret the {{tag|ERISA}} act as requiring the US Bankruptcy Code ''as it stood in 1971'' to be applied to the insolvency of an {{tag|ERISA}} plan, rather than as it stands at the time of insolvency. The reason that’s a problem is that the “safe harbors” for {{tag|derivative}} closeout in the {{tag|Bankruptcy Code}} were only enacted in the 1980s. | This gentleman’s opinion is predicated on the risk that a court would interpret the {{tag|ERISA}} act as requiring the US Bankruptcy Code ''as it stood in 1971'' to be applied to the insolvency of an {{tag|ERISA}} plan, rather than as it stands at the time of insolvency.
