This has two consequences: firstly — assuming the buy in settles — the buyer no-longer needs the securities it originally bought from the failing seller. So the failing seller is stuck with these. Secondly, the ''price'' at which the buyer executes the buy-in transaction will almost certainly differ from price agreed for the original failed trade. The buyer can pass its loss on to the failing seller. | This has two consequences: firstly — assuming the buy in settles — the buyer no-longer needs the securities it originally bought from the failing seller.

Likely points for dispute, not really well managed by the legal documentation, but left down to the commercial expedient of getting on the phone and sorting it out as a way of managing the ongoing relationship — any single buy-in opportunity more than likely to be drowned out by the normal revenue one can expect to make from an ongoing fruitful relationship with a counterparty one ''hasn't'' needlessly cheesed off — include (i) a Buy-in happening too quickly — as per the CDSR conventions, it is normal to wait 4 or 5 buisness days to let normal wrinkles in the settlement chain sort themselves out — and a buy-in happening at an off-market price: Since the Non-Defaulting Party can pass on its costs of buying in, it is less incentivised than it normally is to get the best possible price, and in a market which is Q.E.D. already sticky — otherwise, why the need for a buy in? — it is likely there will be some shoddy prices going. | |||
Happened quiet a lot, for example, during the early months of the Russian crisis. | |||
