Record 5 2005-10-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Investment
  • Financial and Budgetary Management
CONT

Since payments are contingent upon the occurrence of defaults or other credit events, the drafting of sound legal language defining precisely the type of event and the subsequent contingent payout is crucial.

  • Gestion budgétaire et financière
DEF

Événement ayant une incidence sur la qualité du crédit ou la solvabilité d'un débiteur, et qui constitue un élément déterminant pour les dérivés de crédit tels les swaps de crédit.

CONT

Comme les paiements sont conditionnés à l'apparition d'une défaillance ou de tout autre incident de crédit, il est crucial de définir en termes juridiquement clairs l'élément qui les déclenchera, et le paiement correspondant.

OBS

Les incidents de crédit comprennent notamment l'évaluation à la baisse par une agence de notation, le manquement du débiteur à ses engagements, par exemple le défaut de paiement des intérêts ou du principal d'une dette à l'échéance, ou encore le fait que le débiteur devienne insolvable ou fasse faillite.

Record 8 1992-06-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Property Law (common law)
DEF

Possible, but not assured; doubtful or uncertain; conditioned upon the occurrence of some future event which is itself uncertain, or questionable.... this term, when applied to a use, remainder, devise, bequest, or other legal right or interest, implies that no present interest exists, and that whether such interest or right ever will exist depends upon a future uncertain event.(Black's, 5th ed. 1979, p. 290)

CONT

An interest may thus be said to be vested if, (a) it is limited to a person who is in existence, (b) it is limited to a person who is ascertained, and (c), it is limited to a person who is ascertained, and (c), it is not subject to a condition precedent. An interest is contingent or executory if it does not satisfy one of these three criteria, for in that case it is not presently capable of falling into possession upon the natural determination of all preceding interests. (Anger & Honsberger, 2nd d. 1985, p. 350)
