Clearinghouses in OLA?

posted by Stephen Lubben

In this short paper, I question whether derivatives clearinghouses can be "resolved" under Dodd-Frank's title II "Orderly Liquidation Authority." That, of course, presupposes that OLA is still around when and if a clearinghouse failed.

If not, we'd better think about what a chapter 7 filing of a clearinghouse would look like. As discussed in the paper, most clearinghouses are "commodities brokers" for purposes of the Code, and thus can't file under chapter 11.

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge). To request a subscription on Bankr-L, click here to visit the page for the list and then click on the link for "Subscribe." After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless ([email protected]) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
