LIBOR and CDOR Scandal: What Investors Should Know
– ratesupermarket.ca
About a year-and-a-half ago, LIBOR went from being an obscure acronym from the world of international finance, to the name associated with the latest in a series of global financial scandals. While regulators are still sorting out precisely what happened – and the full implications – there are already some impacts being felt around the globe.
What is LIBOR?
First off, a brief primer on what LIBOR is. The acronym stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. It’s the rate an international collection of banks charge each other when exchanging various currencies. It’s one of many such exchange rates around the world – Canada has its own, the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (CDOR); more on that in a moment – but the London rate is considered the global standard.
It’s calculated by averaging out the rate that as many as 18 different banks say they would have to pay in interest when borrowing funds. Trillions of dollars in credit card charges, mortgages, car loans, and other items are linked to the LIBOR rate…

– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – It started with an unwanted laptop, and it ended in Britain’s Supreme Court.
A Scottish man has won a 16-year court battle sparked by a wrangle over a computer credit deal.
Richard Durkin bought a laptop in 1998, using a credit agreement with lender HFC Bank for about 1,500 pounds. He returned the computer the next day because it lacked an internal modem, and tried to cancel the credit deal.
The bank said he couldn’t, and after he refused pay to pay declared he had defaulted. Durkin said the bad credit rating meant he was unable to buy a house.
Durkin went to court, spawning a battle that ended Wednesday when five Supreme Court justices ruled that Durkin had “validly rescinded the credit agreement” and awarded him 8,000 pounds ($13,000).
