“Given that Kearsarge rejected any attempt at cooperation with Skyview, it was unreasonable for it to demand assurances in the form of a bond or letter of credit,” stated Judge Patti B. Saris. “Despite a record of full performance between the parties, Kearsarge’s demand for a surety for the full notional value of the outstanding trades further supports this conclusion.”
