A engages B as clerk to collect money for him. B fails to account for some of his receipts and A in consequence calls upon him to furnish security for his duly accounting. A does not acquaint C with B’s previous conduct. B afterwards makes default.

[amp_mcq option1=”The guarantee is not invalid” option2=”The guarantee is partly invalid” option3=”The guarantee is invalid” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is C. The guarantee is invalid.

A guarantee is a contract in which a person (the guarantor) agrees to be liable for the debts or obligations of another person (the principal). In this case, A is the principal and B is the guarantor.

A guarantee is only valid if the guarantor has given full disclosure of all material facts to the creditor. In this case, A did not disclose B’s previous conduct to C. This means that C did not have all the information they needed to make an informed decision about whether to enter into the guarantee. As a result, the guarantee is invalid.

Option A is incorrect because the guarantee is invalid. Option B is incorrect because the guarantee is not partly invalid, it is completely invalid. Option D is incorrect because the guarantee is not valid.
