Emissions trading documentation

Overview

edit

Original Affected Party” is part of the Unauthorised Transfers regime, which is more or less the same in all three of the emissions trading documentation suites.

Summary

edit

The emissions trading world is still haunted by the widescale fraud that beset it in 2010. For more on the history, see the article on emissions allowance theft.

Its reaction was to tighten up the registry system to stop miscreants nicking Allowances, and tighten up the terms in the documentation to make it harder to pass stolen Allowances, and to be more specific about the consequences of doing so. This is part of that effort. The Original Affected Party is the “OV”, so to speak: the original victim of a theft.
