Record 3 1996-12-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Security
DEF

The creditor under a contract of guaranty, being the person to whom the principal debtor is primarily liable and to whom the guarantor is secondarily liable.

OBS

Both "guarantee" and "guarantor" have filled the role of agent noun for the verb "to guarantee". These words have shared the sense "one who makes a guaranty or gives a security," but today "guarantor" has taken the field, rendering "guarantee" in this sense but a needless variant. Oddly, "guarantee" has been used not only as an equivalent of "guarantor", but also as a passive correlative of it consistently with other forms in -EE. Thus the OED quotes the following specimen of "guarantee" (= a person to whom a "guarantee" is given)/ "Guarantors are believed by the "guarantee" being compelled, if one is ready to pay the whole, to sell him the debt of the others." This use of "guarantee" may be useful in tandem with -or, but the actual occurrences of it in legal prose are rare.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des sûretés
OBS

OBS
