The Supreme Court of Appeal recently found that a person who has been induced to sign a contract of suretyship by fraud or misrepresentation of a third party and who is unaware of the nature of the documents he has signed is nevertheless bound by the agreement if the lender (creditor) is innocent and is not aware of the guarantor`s error and that, therefore, the contract of suretyship is valid and enforceable. The general principles of South African contract law state that any person who has signed a document intends to enter into the agreement contained in this document and that, therefore, the reservation of the signatories “watches”. The courts have found that a surety who wishes to be exempted from liability under a contract of guarantee must satisfy the Tribunal that it did not intend to enter into the contract of suretyship. There is a triple survey that is used by our courts to determine whether a guarantor can be exempted from the agreement he or she has signed: business letters are usually more formal and are often sent to people we don`t know. You need to set the right tone, whether it`s authority, disagreement, satisfaction, or gratitude. In many transactions, a creditor who has entered into an agreement with another natural entity or (debtor) for which that debtor owes or could owe money to the creditor wants some security to ensure that he is able to recover the funds due when the debtor is in default. Here, a guarantee contract as security for payment to the creditor by the debtor is of great help. Where the debtor is in arrears, the creditor may, on the contrary, within the meaning of the guarantee contract, take care of the guarantor to recover the funds due. The amount that the creditor can demand from the guarantee depends on the signature by the guarantor of the agreement that binds him for a limited or unlimited amount. Therefore, the importance of concluding a guarantee contract cannot be assessed with a clear understanding of the contractual conditions and obligations them own. 1. Principals.
