	Stikeman Elliott LLP: Structured Finance Update
		Blue Range, also an Alberta case, was welcomed by most market participants because it made it clear that the EFC protections applied to both physically-settled and financial agreements.
		The decisive interpretive principle, in the court’s view, was that to interpret "hedging" to exclude cash-settled transactions would make part (ii) of the definition of "proceeds" superfluous, since part (i) would appear to include physically-settled futures contracts and options already.
		Rejecting PDC’s argument that the presence of this language was strong evidence that only physically-settled forwards and options were intended, he held that in the context of a definition of "proceeds" it was proper to interpret "consideration" as "net consideration".
