The purpose of the Protocol is to come to an efficient winding-up of the companies of the Lehman Brothers Group by facilitating the coordination between the various official representatives and the courts involved.
The Protocol intends, among other issues, to provide for a consistent and measured approach to the calculation and adjudication of intercompany claims that avoids unnecessary intercompany litigation. The Trustees also stress that the Protocol does not aim to restrict or limit any rights the Trustees or creditors may have under Curacao law.
