Overview
No change between the 1992 ISDA and the 2002 ISDA.
Summary
Default interest is one of those perennial things in finance and is generally a rate higher than the implied funding rate for the period and person in question. You might well ask — though one might, as the JC does, struggle heroically to not go there — whether an arbitrary loading on what ought to be a fair estimate of one’s actual carrying cost is not an unenforceable penalty, but hey, everyone does it.
