Close-Out Netting & Set-Off Under U.S. Banking Insolvency Law, Christian Johnson Aug 2003

Close-Out Netting & Set-Off Under U.S. Banking Insolvency Law, Christian Johnson

Christian A. Johnson

The huge role of U.S. banks in the derivatives industry means counterparties must understand the treatment of close-out netting and set-off for an insolvent bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Close-out netting and set-off, both of which are typically provided under the ISDA Master Agreement, provide the most effective and efficient way to minimize credit risk with respect to the insolvency of a counterparty.

Kosovo Agonistes, John Murphy Jul 2003

Kosovo Agonistes, John Murphy

John F. Murphy

The debate over the legality and morality of NATO's actions with respect to Kosovo has been fierce, and writings on this subject have been legion. Although the primary focus of this chapter is on the legal dimensions of the Kosovo crisis, it also explores moral and political considerations. The chapter sets forth the following propositions and attempts to defend them: (1) the use of force by NATO in Kosovo could have been avoided; (2) assuming for the sake of argument that it could not, the use of force actually employed in Kosovo should have been different from that which was …

Payment Of Pre-Petition And Post-Petition Employee Severance Benefits, Daniel Austin Feb 2003

Payment Of Pre-Petition And Post-Petition Employee Severance Benefits, Daniel Austin

Daniel A. Austin

This article examines whether severance benefits promised to employees pre-petition may be paid after the employer has filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. The answer depends on whether the severance benefits were payable based on length of service or in a single lump-sum payment, and whether the debtor is in a majority-or-minority-rule jurisdiction. For most debtors, pre-petition lump-sum severance benefits are not payable as an administrative expense. Severance benefits based on length of service must be allocated between pre- and post-petition service. This article does not deal with benefits provided under a collective bargaining agreement, which are governed under Section …

In particular, we provided survey respondents with a checklist of elements that are commonly included in the various sections of appellate briefs and memoranda. Respondents were then asked to rank the elements in each section. This ranking gave us an idea of what each group perceived to be …
