Joint guarantee validity upheld when guarantors signed new debt instrument without prior consent of original debtors.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the joint guarantee provided by A, B, and C was binding. The original debt was secured by two prior guarantors, and the new debt instrument was signed by the original debtors alongside the new guarantors. The court determined that the new guarantors' obligation was valid because they signed the instrument knowing the debt existed and the prior security arrangement, thereby accepting the liability.
Regesto Legislator
