Content and comparisons

No equivalent definition in the 1992 ISDA. There wasn’t really such a thing as email back then.

Summary

An innocuous definition you would think but you would be wrong. For behold: an electronic message excludes e-mail. This was a persuasive factor in the learned judge’s idiosyncratic reasoning in the great case of Greenclose v National Westminster Bank plc, a case that illustrates the point that little old ladies make bad law.
