via Bloomberg:

A day after dismissing a question that would have forced a payout on some of Credit Suisse Group AG’s default swaps, a panel that oversees the derivatives market received another query that could trigger the contracts.

The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee was asked whether a bankruptcy credit event had occurred with regards to the Swiss lender in March, when it was taken over in a hastily arranged deal by rival UBS Group AG, according to a statement on its website.

A credit default swap (CDS) is a financial derivative that allows an investor to swap or offset their credit risk with that of another investor. To swap the risk of default, the lender buys a CDS from another investor who agrees to reimburse them if the borrower defaults.

So Credit Suisse was allowed on the CDDC after failing? The same CDDC who voted to not pay out on Credit Sus default swaps?
