- Abstract
- In April 2005, Korea enacted the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Law (DRBL)
which took effect in April 2006. Article 120, Paragraph 3 and Article 336 of the DRBL contain
special provisions (referred to herein as the Korean Netting Provision) for certain Qualified
Financial Transactions such as derivatives as well as repo and securities lending transactions.
The Korean Netting Provision eliminates most of the legal uncertainty arising from the lack of
express provisions under Korean insolvency and other statutes relating to close-out netting and
credit support arrangements and thus, should further stimulate the expansion of domestic and
cross-border derivatives transactions in Korea. This paper briefly reviews the legal issues that
may arise when a party to a derivatives transaction becomes the subject of proceedings under the
insolvency laws of Korea, the United States and Japan and examines the major provisions of the
Korean Netting Provision and compares then with similar provisions in the United States and
Japan.
