             SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY 3D



 CHAPTER 1.   TRANSACTIONS GOVERNED BY LAW OF SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY

 § 6. Rules Subject to Agreement of Parties

 C.A.7, 2019. Com. (a) quot. in disc. After entering into a settlement agreement with insolvent general
 contractor, bank brought a lawsuit against general contractor, seeking damages under the theory of quia
 timet based on allegations that, among other things, defendant breached an indemnity agreement
between the parties. The district court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment. This court
affirmed, holding, inter alia, that plaintiff s equitable claims under the theory of quia timet were barred
by the fact that plaintiff already obtained damages through mediation for defendant's breach of the
indemnity agreement. The court cited Restatement Third of Suretyship & Guaranty § 6, Comment a, in
explaining that the parties' indemnity agreement already provided plaintiff with certain rights and
damages, and further equitable damages under the theory of quia timet would have been redundant.
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland v. Edward E. Gillen Company, 926 F.3d 318, 325.



      CHAPTER 2.   FORMATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THE
                               SECONDARY OBLIGATION

               TOPIC  1. FORMATION OF THE SECONDARY OBLIGATION

§ 9. Consideration

C.A.11, 2019. Com. (a) cit. in diss. op. Lender brought a lawsuit against husband, wife, and limited-
liability companies owned by husband and wife, alleging that defendants breached the terms of the
parties' loan agreements by failing to make timely payments. The district court granted in part and
denied in part plaintiff s motion for summary judgment. This court affirmed and remanded, holding,
inter alia, that the district court did not err in finding that wife did not have standing under the Equal
Credit Opportunity Act to counterclaim for discrimination, because she was a guarantor and not an
applicant to the parties' loans. The dissent argued that, under Restatement Third of Suretyship and
Guaranty § 9, Comment a, guarantors became applicants when they provided consideration in the form
of a promise to pay, because the guaranty contracts would be unenforceable otherwise. Regions Bank v.
Legal Outsource PA, 936 F.3d 1184, 1213.
