At the point of closeout, the assignee’s right is to any termination payment payable to the Counterparty. Therefore any assignment of rights is logically subject to the netting, as opposed to potentially destructive of it.

'''But''': This is only true unless your netting agreement actually disapplies netting of receivables which have been subject to an assignment. If it does something crazy, like dividing these amounts off as "excluded termination amounts not subject to netting".

===[[Netting]] between legal entities established in [[England and Wales]]===
In November 1993 — not long after the publication of the {{1992isda}}, the Financial Law Panel (these days the [[Financial Markets Law Committee]]) published a [http://www.fmlc.org/uploads/2/6/5/8/26584807/191193.pdf Statement of the Law relating to Netting] which, more or less, confirmed that not only is netting ''permissible'' between English entities on an insolvency; it’s ''compulsory'', whether or not you have an {{isdama}}. Therefore one doesn’t need a [[netting opinion]] for domestic English swap agreement. Hurrah.
