====LIBOR====
Perhaps a marginal note, but [[UK Finance|BBA]]’s guidance to LIBOR submitting banks came in the form of “Instructions to BBA LIBOR Contributor Banks”. The critical part of these ran as follows:
{{Quote|“An individual BBA LIBOR Contributor Panel Bank will contribute the rate at which it could borrow funds, ''were'' it to do so by asking for and then accepting inter-bank offers in reasonable market size just prior to 1100.”}}
In our [[Hayes and Palombo v R|casenote on the Tom Hayes appeal]], we advance the argument that perhaps the court did not put enough weight on the subjunctive mood in which the LIBOR instruction was expressed.
