ISDA response to UK PRA’s consultation on contractual stays

ISDA has responded to a consultation paper from the UK Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), which proposes a new rule for the PRA Rulebook requiring the contractual adoption of UK resolution stays in certain financial contracts (such as derivatives, repo/reverse repo or securities financing transactions) governed by the law of a jurisdiction outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The proposed rule would apply to UK banks, building societies and PRA-designated investment firms, as well as their qualifying parent undertakings in respect of financial contracts governed by the law of a non-EEA country.
