Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc v National Power Corporation and Another: ComC 12 Mar 2018

‘calculation of Close-out Amount under the 2002 ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreement. Is it open to a Determining Party to remake a determination of Close-out Amount? Did the change in wording from ‘reasonably determines in good faith’ in the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement to ‘act in good faith and use commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result’ in the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement have the effect of replacing a requirement for a rational decision with a requirement for an objectively reasonable decision?’
