Premium - summer update

News of new features, a new quick question feature for premium subscribers, and JC has fun with drop capitals

You may have noticed the JC has been going through a few fits and starts recently. The old fellow is learning how to use javascript and cascading stylesheets — I know, at his age — and trying to make the experience a little easier on the eye.

He has worked out how to do drop capitals which is great fun but will probably become quickly tiring. You can’t do them on substack: they look like this on the JC:

Drop caps on the “Litigationey” page

JC is also gently rolling out a limited “quick questions” service for premium subscribers: part of what makes the JC useful is that it addresses — but may not always answer! — questions we all have about common legal agreements. These maybe things we knew once but have forgotten (why isn’t a Credit Support Annex a Credit Support Document?), or things we never knew, don’t actually have a good answer, but we are now are afraid to ask just in case we look silly (What’s the “not more than 20 days” time limit all about?)

Now as far as JC is concerned there are no silly questions when it comes to master trading agreements — plenty of silly answers of course — so JC is here for you. This is a sort of symbiotic thing: you get to ask on the QT, JC gets a finger on the pulse and can update the site with good questions people then won’t have to feel sheepish about asking.

So, the first example today, by way of an example.

What happens if someone insists on designating an English Law Credit Support Annex as a Credit Support Document, when it shouldn’t be one, or refuses to designate a New York Law Credit Support Annex as one, when it should?

The answer is set out, with lots of drop caps, on the premium site in the usual place.

For those on the premium tier, you can read on here, if you so fancy it: (there may even be a sneak peak feature for free subscribers to see what you are missing!
