Template:Isda 1 comp

The 2002 ISDA does the reader the service of acknowledging there might be terms defined in the schedule and not just Section {{{{{1}}}|14}} — as indeed there must — party-specific things like {{{{{1}}}|Party A}}, {{{{{1}}}|Party B}}, {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Provider}}, {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}}, and no doubt you can think of others — but beyond this, the text of Section 1 in the 2002 ISDA is the same as Section 1 in the 1992 ISDA.

The 1987 ISDA was broadly the same, though there was no “single agreement” subclause (c) — that is built instead into the Preamble. By 1992 ISDA’s crack drafting squad™ deemed this important enough to deserve its own place in Section 1(c), and there it stayed for the 2002 ISDA.
