Argentina Loses U.S. Appeal of Ruling on Defaulted Bonds (1)

     Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Argentina lost a bid to reverse lower-court rulings that may help creditors including Elliott Management Corp.’s NML Capital Fund collect on $1.4 billion in defaulted bonds.
     The U.S. Appeals Court in New York ruled today that Argentina, which defaulted on $80 billion in foreign debt in 2001, can’t discriminate against holders of the defaulted bonds in favor of holders of the country’s restructured sovereign debt. A three-judge panel upheld orders issued by U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa in Manhattan.
     Argentina claimed that upholding Griesa’s rulings would undermine its debt agreements, trigger a new financial crisis in the republic and make it impossible for countries including Greece and Spain to restructure their debt in the future.
     The appeals court sent the case back to Griesa’s court to clarify how a payment formula set by the judge is intended to work and to determine how the orders apply to intermediary banks and other third parties.
     The case is NML Capital Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, 12-00105, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Manhattan).
