In the Winter Semester
2014-15 INTRODUCTION:
Guarantee is a tripartite contract between three parties, creditor, principal debtor and surety.
The main function of a contract of guarantee is to enable a creditor to be secure enough and have another alternative to get his loan to be repaid. And to other to get a loan or goods on credit. Some person comes and tells the lender that he insures the repayment of the debt on the behalf of principal debtor.
For guarantee, there must be a conditional promise to be liable on the default of the principal debtor. The essentials for a contract of guarantee to be are existence of principal debt. As said in Lakeman v. Mountstephen, for guarantee, there has to be a debt first of all. Also there must be an intention on the part of the guarantor to assume the liability of the debt’s repayment not on his but on the debtor’s behalf.
Discharge of surety:
A contract of guarantee is said to be a contract strictissimi juris and the surety is entitled to insist on rigid adherence to the terms of his obligation and he is liable only for losses arising in the ordinary and usual course of things from a breach of the strict terms of the contract guaranteed. Surety has a

A guaranty contract is a document made during an issuance of a loan in which a third party agrees to become liable to make required payments if the main person responsible for the loan fails to make payments.
A contract is a legally obligatory promise or set of promises (Bagley, C. 2013). If this promise is broken, either party involved can be legally responsible and take the other party to court. There are four basic elements in the creation of a valid contract. The first consist of an agreement between the parties involved, by an presented offer and acceptance. The second states that the parties’ promises must be supported by something of worth, known as consideration. The third advises both parties must have the ability to enter into a contract. The fourth element states the contract must have a legal purpose (Bagley, C 2013).
CONNECTION TO CHAPTER: This connects to chapter 9, Introduction to Contract Law. In a contract it is a legally binding and legally enforceable promise, or
Contracts are an important part of everyday life. They are an essential part of business. As a student of a business law class, I will discuss in this paper several aspects of contracts. This paper will give a definition of a contract and the essential elements necessary to form a valid contract. It will briefly discuss breach of contract and the difference between a material breach and a nonmaterial breach of contract. Examples of legal and equitable remedies available for breach of contracts will be highlighted. Also, legal excuses for nonperformance or other grounds for discharge of contracts will be addressed. Finally, three types of common contracts personally and professionally encountered will be mentioned.
There are many ideas about the correct basis for contractual obligation. They include promise, consideration, and cause. All jurisdictions follow at least one. In Thomas E. Davitt’s The Elements of Law, the author articulates a very credible argument for the basis for contractual obligation being one of those named above. Davitt simplifies the arguments for all of these and names one correct basis: the promise itself. Generally Thomas E. Davitt, S.J., The Elements of Law, 272 (1959). This paper will argue in favor of Davitt’s writings. The basis for contractual obligation is the promise itself. In order to effectively argue in favor of one basis over the possible others, it is necessary to discuss and rule out the others.
A contract is a promise between two or more parties that the law recognizes as binding by providing a remedy in the event of breach. In order for a promise to be enforceable it must be supported by consideration. Consideration can be defined as a bargained for exchange between the promisor and promisee; a promise can not be considered a contract without consideration. Common law states also require mutual assent to exist for a contract to be enforceable, this means that there must be an offer and an acceptance of said offer. For example, if a promise is made between two consenting people and one of those
Contract is generally defined as a “promise or set of promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some ways recognizes as a duty” (Restatement (Second) of the Law of Contracts § 1). Hence, when a person sues someone for breach of contract, it only means that the defendant fails to fulfill his promise to the plaintiff (Maggs, p. 1). If this happens, there are two options that the court may ask to the defendant – pay the plaintiff or perform the promise.
Under Section 12(4) which provides that “whether a stipulation in a contract of sale is a condition or a warranty depends in each case on the construction of the contract. A stipulation may be a condition though called a warranty in the contract”. Therefore, every contract is to be assessed in the light of circumstances including intention of the parties and also terminology used in the construction of the contract.
