              SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY 3D



 CHAPTER 1. TRANSACTIONS GOVERNED BY LAW OF SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY

 § 2. Contract Creating the Secondary Obligation

 N.D.Ga.Bkrtcy.Ct.2022. Com. (c) cit. in sup. In bankruptcy proceedings for five related debtors that
were jointly liable to bank as guarantors of a series of loans, debtor that was ordered to sell its property
to satisfy the debt sought contribution from another debtor that did not pay any portion of the debt, the
amount of which would fix the amount of an adequate protection lien that the bankruptcy court had
awarded to creditor that had a lien on the property. After a bench trial, this court held, among other
things, that plaintiff was entitled to contribution from defendant, and that the amount of the contribution
claim had to be divided among the five debtors. The court rejected plaintiff's argument that certain
pledgors that had helped secure the loans by pledging their interests in certain properties as collateral
were also liable for contribution, reasoning that the pledgors' liability was limited to their interests in the
properties under Restatement of Security § 83 and Restatement Third of Suretyship and Guaranty § 2. In
re Bay Circle Properties, LLC, 646 B.R. 348, 368.

§ 57. Cosurety's Contributive Share

N.D.Ga.Bkrtcy.Ct.2022.  Subsec. (2)(b) quot. in sup. In bankruptcy proceedings for five related debtors
that were jointly liable to bank as guarantors of a series of loans, debtor that was ordered to sell its
property to satisfy the debt sought contribution from another debtor that did not pay any portion of the
debt, the amount of which would fix the amount of an adequate protection lien that the bankruptcy court
had awarded to creditor that had a lien on the property. After a bench trial, this court held, among other
things, that plaintiff was entitled to contribution from defendant, and that the amount of the contribution
claim had to be divided among the five debtors. The court rejected defendant's argument that the
insolvency of certain debtors affected the calculation of the contribution claim, citing Restatement Third
of Suretyship and Guaranty § 57 in reasoning that the insolvency of a debtor was only an issue if it did
not contribute its fair share, in which case the shortfall was distributed to the solvent parties, and it was
