The Second Circuit ruled that a Lehman Brothers affiliate cannot clawback $1 billion in payments made pursuant to swap agreements that were terminated when Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and certain of its affiliates filed for bankruptcy in 2008. The Court concluded that the Bankruptcy Code provides a safe harbor for the liquidation of such swap agreements and also the distribution of proceeds from the collateral.
