The ECB’s argument that the OMT program’s primary purpose is to prevent a eurozone breakup is unconvincing to the German court, for only a nearly insolvent sovereign would risk breaking up the union.
If, instead, the ECJ finds a legal argument to validate the scheme – and the German court, sensitive to current financial uncertainties, acquiesces – the ambiguities will be pushed aside, to be addressed later.
But this implies a key problem: Whereas a bankruptcy court can force holdout creditors to accept the exchange offer as long as a significant majority of creditors have already done so (a so-called “cram down”), the market-based approach allows some creditors to continue to hold out and sue to be paid in full.
The US court decision is dangerous for two reasons.
First, the court ruled for the first time that a country cannot continue to pay those creditors who accepted a big reduction (or “haircut”) on their claims until the holdouts are paid in full.
Either super-CACs need to be designed and introduced (though it will take years to include them in all new bond contracts) or the international community may want to reconsider whether the 2002 IMF proposal for a formal bankruptcy court for sovereign borrowers should be resurrected.
The police dismissed an initial court order demanding that Biti be produced before the court.
After Biti was finally produced before the court days later, the government announced that he will be charged with treason – which carries the death penalty – for unofficially announcing the results of the March 29, 2008, elections.
It is unlikely that he will be able to challenge the basis of his detention in an independent court.
So some members of the presidential court and many establishment groups are already beginning to campaign to postpone the presidential elections.
Then there is the long tradition of the court jester with license to criticize the despot by sweetening his barbs with jokes.

The restructuring process started on May 3, when the Board filed a petition in federal court.
The bill submitted to Congress even had language in it that would exempt the secretary’s decisions from review by any court or administrative agency - the ultimate fulfillment of the Bush administration’s dream of a unitary executive.

Anti-euro groups, which have been proliferating across Europe, hope that the court will decide that the OMT program violates either the European Union treaties, the ECB’s statute, or Germany’s constitution.
But, while OMT may well turn out to be a mistake, the court does not actually have the constitutional authority to forbid the ECB from pursuing it.
Given that judicial decisions are ex post, not ex ante, the court cannot prevent OMT before it is activated.
In every case related to European Monetary Union that the court has heard so far – from its October 1992 ruling on the Maastricht Treaty to its most recent, issued last September – Europe has won the day.

To be sure, the court has not yielded to Europe entirely; it has almost always formulated additional demands.
Although it could easily have ruled that a treaty or emergency fund was unconstitutional unless further measures were taken, essentially sending its architects back to the drawing table, the court always opted for the more accommodating “yes, but” approach.
It has sent a 29-page brief to the court stating its position, and will argue its case before the court in June.
Given how difficult it would be for the court to rule against OMT at this point, the case may prove to be a massive blow to the Bundesbank’s credibility in Europe.
Although the threatened indictment of al-Bashir has prompted protest in Khartoum, no one expects him to appear in court soon.
