In re Lehman: ISDA® Swaps Liquidation Methodology Protected by Section 560 Safe Harbor | Practical Law
The US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York issued a ruling in the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy cases that extends the safe harbor for swap agreements under section 560 of the Bankruptcy Code to settlement calculation provisions specified under an ISDA Master Agreement, even where the settlement calculation provisions themselves would otherwise operate as prohibited ipso facto clauses under Bankruptcy Code section 365(e)(1).
