    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV354/1999

    The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and affirmed summary judgment: the plaintiff sued on a separate and distinct guarantee in the Debt Rescheduling Deed which was enforceable; the defendant failed to show that the put option contravened s.76 in a way that tainted the guarantee (s.3(1) savings and the separate substituted obligations in the New Trade Confirmation/Deed meant the guarantee was not rendered unenforceable); all other defences (gambling, uncertainty, duress, failure to mitigate, misrepresentation) were unarguable on the evidence and law.
