  • These cases concerned hundreds of transactions entered into by local authorities throughout England with various banks. Under the swap agreements, the parties exchanged interest rates, so that one party paid to the other sums calculated by reference to a fixed rate of interest in return for the other party paying sums calculated by reference to the market rate of interest upon a notional principle sum. At the time these cases came to court some of the transactions were still ‘open’, meaning that they were still running and payments were still being made. Others were ‘closed swaps’, meaning that they had run for the whole of the specified period and all the necessary payments had been made.
