             SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY 3D



 CHAPTER 1.   TRANSACTIONS GOVERNED BY LAW OF SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY

 § 1. Scope; Transactions Giving Rise to Suretyship Status

 Mont.2022. Com. (c) cit. in sup. Employee and employer petitioned for judicial review after a state
 agency found in favor of employee on her claims of employment discrimination based on sexual
 harassment and retaliation. The trial court affirmed as modified to increase the amount of employee's
 award and denied employer's motion for a stay pending appeal. This court denied employer's motion for
 relief, holding that the supersedeas bond provided by employer in support of its motion to stay was
 inadequate security for employee's judgment, because one of the two entities that signed the bond as a
 surety was a reciprocal insurer that employer owned in part and belonged to as a subscriber. The court
 cited Restatement Third of Suretyship & Guaranty § 1 in reasoning that employer was essentially
 attempting to act as its own surety, because, if the surety became obligated to pay some portion of
 employee's judgment, employer might be required to indemnify the surety for that payment. NorVal
Electric Cooperative, Inc. v. Lawson, 507 P.3d 157, 177.



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

               TOPIC   1. FORMATION OF THE SECONDARY OBLIGATION

§ 9. Consideration

Mont.2022. Subsec. (2)(b) quot. in sup. Employee and employer petitioned for judicial review after a
state agency found in favor of employee on her claims of employment discrimination based on sexual
harassment and retaliation. The trial court affirmed as modified to increase the amount of employee's
award and denied employer's motion for a stay pending appeal. This court denied employer's motion for
relief, holding that the supersedeas bond provided by employer in support of its motion to stay was
inadequate security for employee's judgment, because it was silent as to any consideration between
employer and one of the two sureties that signed the bond. The court cited Restatement Third of
Suretyship & Guaranty § 9 in reasoning that a surety that was called upon to pay the debt of the
principal obligor could raise failure of consideration as a defense. NorVal Electric Cooperative, Inc. v.
Lawson, 507 P.3d 157, 173.
