The judge accepted the Plaintiff's account that the 2nd Defendant requested and received a cash cheque and, under pressure and after telephone consultation with his partner, orally guaranteed that the 1st Defendant would perform the termination agreement; contemporaneous alteration of the agreement's signature page and surrounding conduct supported inferring an oral guarantee; accordingly the 2nd Defendant is bound as guarantor and the court granted a conditional indemnity declaration for the Labour Tribunal award upon proof of payment and an order nisi for costs.
