ISDA Paper to HMT on Draft Statutory Instrument

On March 8, 2023, ISDA sent a paper to His Majesty’s Treasury on its draft prospectus statutory instrument (SI). In the paper, ISDA highlights its concern for the proposed widened scope of the prospectus regime as it may inadvertently capture over-the-counter derivatives. The draft legislation was published as part of the Edinburgh Reforms as an illustrative draft SI to give an indication of how the powers relating to retained EU Law in the Financial Services and Markets Bill will be used, and how relevant SIs may be structured.
