Book overview
Handbook of the Law of Suretyship and Guaranty by Frank Hall Childs offers a detailed examination of the legal principles governing suretyship and guaranty agreements. This comprehensive handbook, originally published in 1907, provides a thorough analysis of the rights, obligations, and liabilities of sureties and guarantors. It explores the formation, interpretation, and enforcement of suretyship contracts, covering various aspects such as the statute of frauds, consideration, and the scope of the surety's undertaking.
The book delves into the defenses available to sureties, including fraud, duress, and material alteration of the underlying contract. It also addresses the remedies of the creditor against the surety and the rights of the surety against the principal debtor and co-sureties. This handbook serves as an invaluable resource for legal professionals, students, and anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the law of suretyship and guaranty.
