UK High Court judgment on ISDA Default Rate calculations in Lehman Waterfall IIC, and supplemental judgment on statutory interest and currency conversion claims in Waterfall IIA and IIB

The High Court in London handed down judgment on Part C of the Lehman Waterfall II Application on 5 October 2016.

As some £4.4 billion of LBIE’s admitted claims arise under ISDA Master Agreements and the debts were outstanding for more than five years, this judgment will materially influence the amount of money which must be applied in satisfaction of creditors’ entitlements to statutory interest.
