Section 2(a)(iii) litigation

There is a (generous) handful of important authorities on the effect under English law or New York law of the suspension of obligations under the most litigationey clause in the ISDA Master Agreement, Section 2(a)(iii). They consider whether flawed asset provision amounts to an “ipso facto clause” under the US Bankruptcy Code or violates the “anti-deprivation” principle under English law. Those cases are:

• Lomas v Firth Rixson
• Marine Trade v Pioneer
• Pioneer v Cosco
• Pioneer v TMT
• Enron v TXU
• Metavante v Lehman
