====[[Branch]]es====
Electing “multibranch party” status allows a [[counterparty]] to transact swap confirms out of various different [[branch]]es of the same [[legal entity]]. Details fans will immediately note that, from the point of view of legal and corporate philosophy — surely a subject dear to every attorney’s heart — the differing [[branch]]es of a [[legal entity]] have no distinct [[legal personality]] any more than does a person’s arm or leg have different personality from {{sex|her}} head. So being a “multibranch” party seems immaterial.
