Judge Thomas Griesa, who has claims against Argentina in the U.S.
Today will be a key day for the dispute that Argentina has with holders
of defaulted bonds not admitted to debt swaps in 2005 and 2010.
The judge of the second district of Manhattan, Thomas Griesa, convened a
hearing in the courts of New York in which he will meet with lawyers
from Argentina (the firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton) and
the legal representatives of the bondholders .
As a novelty, also exhibited its position in the conclave some
institutional investors, representatives of the bondholders that swaps
entered Argentina and that could be harmed by the payment to the
holdouts (creditors who did not accept the offer).
The meeting will be carried out at 11.15 New York time (9:15 in Argentina) and will be crucial, because Griesa hear the parties and begin to outline how to implement a payment plan for the country to begin to pay to holdouts, including so-called vulture funds. The meeting, which was imminent, as anticipated Reporter in its issue of October 30, comes after the Court of Appeals in New York ruled in favor of the theory of "Pari Passu" prompting Griesa, so the country must give equal treatment to all creditors. This implies that Argentina should not only pay the bondholders who enter the swap (and regularly charge their claims) but also to those who did not.
On October 26, the Court of Appeals, after endorsing the failure Griesa asked the judge to clarify how the decision will become effective and how they apply to others involved. Today will begin to be defined how apportionment payments to the holdouts, and on the other hand, if the fault has scope to intermediaries, paying agents such as Bank of New York.
The government, meanwhile, far bet dilate time. In particular it has to pay bonds maturing on December and, most importantly, Dec. 15 (coupon GDP).
So if Griesa delayed the case, it could reach those dates without a definition. But the urgency in the call of the New York judge seems to prejudice the Government's strategy. Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino, and his second secretary of Finance, Adrián Cosentino, must now decide whether to activate the appeal of the House measure, a letter that is stored up his sleeve, but whose effectiveness is questionable.
One of the vulture funds behind this lawsuit in U.S. courts is NML-Elliot, who managed to seize the same frigate Libertad in Ghana. The claim was also made by other vulture funds as Dart, Aurelius, Paster, Blue Angel and a dozen Argentine citizens.
Currently there are still around u $ s 6,000 million in bonds held by creditors who did not accept the offers of Argentina. Of this amount around u $ s 3,000 million are held by vulture funds, who claim in this lawsuit u $ s 1.333 million.
