* ISDA provides legal opinions for the laws of England & Wales as well as Scotland. As of February 21, 2009, the UK Banking Act introduced a new insolvency law for all UK jurisdictions providing for a special resolution regime for banks and building societies. This includes specific netting legislation for transactions with such counterparties. With regard to most other counterparties the previous regime remains in place. In England, the enforceability of netting is widely accepted without the need for specific statutory recognition. Please refer to the ISDA netting opinions on English and Scots law respectively. For other jurisdictions without specific netting statutes, e.g Turkey, Netherlands, Hong Kong, please refer to the relevant ISDA netting opinions.
