Cross-Border Insolvency Protocol
The Bankruptcy Trustees are party to the Cross-Border Insolvency Protocol for the Lehman Brothers Group of Companies (the “Protocol”). 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 Bankruptcy Trustees also stress that the Protocol does not aim to restrict or limit any rights the Bankruptcy Trustees or creditors may have under Curacao law.
