A contract of guarantee is a contract in which one party promises to perform the promise or to discharge the liability incurred by the third party in case of his default. There are three parties in a contract of guarantee. The person who gives the guarantee is known as ‘surety’. The person in default of whose the guarantee is given is known as the ‘principal debtor’. The person to whom the guarantee is given is known as ‘creditor’. In a contract of guarantee, there are two contracts; the principal contract between the principal debtor and the creditor as well as a secondary contract between the creditor and the surety. The liability of the principal debtor is primary, whereas, the liability of the surety is secondary. The contract between principal …show more content…
A specific guarantee is intended to be applicable to a particular debt and thus it ceases with the repayment of debt. On the other hand, a continuing guarantee extends to a series of transactions.
So, here in this case, the principal debtor is Rakesh, creditor is Lena Bank and the surety is Mohan. The type of contract Mohan will have to execute with the bank is the contract of surety which will be independent of the contract between Rakesh and the Bank.
The features of this type of contract are as follows:
• There are three parties in every Contract of Guarantee
• The liability arises right from the beginning. The surety becomes liable when the principle debtor commits default in meeting the liability.
• Surety has the right to sue the third party (Principle Debtor) directly. The Law puts him in the position of Creditor.
• Anything done, or any promise made, for the benefit of the principal debtor, may be a sufficient consideration to the surety for giving the guarantee. The guarantor need not personally derive any benefit from the

In case the principal debtor makes a default or refuses to make the payment, the liability of the surety arises. The surety must act at the request of principal debtor. So in case of default by Rakesh, the liability of Mohan; the surety, arises. Mohan is required to discharge the liability incurred by Rakesh. In the above situation the creditor, that is, the Bank has some rights against the surety. These rights are listed below:
• The creditor is entitled to demand the payment from the surety as soon as the principal debtor refuses to pay or makes default in payment.
• The liability of the surety cannot be postponed till all other remedies against the principal debtor have been exhausted. In other words, the creditor cannot be asked to exhaust all other remedies against the principal debtor before proceeding against surety.
• The creditor also has a right of general lien on the securities of the surety in his possession. This right, however, arises only when the principal debtor has made default and not before that.
• In case of insolvency of surety, the creditor is entitled to proceed in the surety’s insolvency and claim the pro rata

Defining Issue: In order to make an agreement binding one element that must be used is consideration. Without consideration an agreement may not be enforceable, even if there has been an offer and acceptance. What a promiser demands and receives is the price for the promise, which is consideration. A person who makes the promise is called the promisor, while the person to whom the promise is made to is called the promisee. However, the promisor is not entitled to consideration.

Jones was party to the contract and mortgage together with Mrs Jones as surety for her husband, even though Mrs Jones was the actual owner of the property. This produced a legal consequence as it affected the appellants with a conduct on the part of the husband in relation to his wife which raised equities in her favour against the indication of a mortgage. The husband exercised undue influence on Mrs Jones to procure her signature to the mortgage which consisted of no consideration. The plaintiff brought proceedings against the defendant upon a contract to pay interest and principal contained in the mortgage over the property at Walkerville owned by Mrs Jones. It was understood that Mrs Jones executed the mortgage without understanding the effect of the contract and presumed various false misrepresentations. She argued that the mortgage which she s...
Sovereign debt theories first must assume the premise that there is no third party enforcers and that lenders must be able to enforce claims on their own. In addition these theories use reputation arising through repeated interaction to generate equilibria. It is only then that lending agreements are made and self-enforcing. Bulow and Rogoff (1989b) show that no lending will occur if the only threat is to cut off future lending. This is because merely the threat to withdraw credit is not a severe enough penalty to prevent the Crown from repudiating his debt. Lenders would then anticipate this, and consequently, they do not lend.
If a breach of contract is both material and opportunistic, the injured promisee has a claim in restitution to the profit realized by the defaulting promisor as a result of the breach. Liability in restitution with disgorgement of profit is an alternative to liability for contract damages measured by injury to the promisee.

A Quistclose trust arises when money is paid to a recipient for a specific purpose, if that purpose fails the money is held on trust for the payer. It mostly arises in insolvency cases where the proprietary rights have to be established. However, this type of trust has been thought to be inconsistent with the traditional trust principle. Many have suggested the Quistclose trust must be treated as any other fully fledged security device taking into account the protection it offers the payer on insolvency and should therefore be registrable. This essay critically analyses the concept of Quistclose trust, whether it differs from the resulting trusts.

The transferor gives the transferee an entire or a restricted amount of recourse in the transfer of a full receivable, a class of a full receivable, or a small amount of the full receivable with recourse. The transferor is obliged under the full agreement of the recourse provision to pay the transferee or to just rebuy the receivables bought under convinced circumstances. Ideally this is for defaults that are at a percentage of the amount specified.
