KKO 4485/1996
Generato dall'IA
Supreme Court held that a guarantor's security under the Guarantee Act is not time-barred if the principal debt remains outstanding.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court ruled that a guarantor's security under the Guarantee Act is not time-barred merely because the statute of limitations for the principal debt has expired. The court found that the security obligation persists as long as the underlying debt exists, regardless of the principal debtor's limitation status. Consequently, the guarantor remains liable for the debt until the principal obligation is fully extinguished.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IAGuarantee Act 4 §; Guarantee Act 10 §: A guarantor's security obligation is not time-barred if the principal debt remains outstanding, even if the limitation period for the principal claim has expired.
