Spousal Guarantee and Procedural Fairness in Appeal
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe appellate court erred by upholding a guarantee agreement, which was only signed by one spouse with the specific mention "Good for joint and several guarantee" in their handwriting, by asserting that this mention was unnecessary because both spouses were merchants; the Court of Cassation quashed the decision because the appellate court introduced the issue of the spouses' merchant status, which was not raised by either party in their pleadings, thereby violating the procedural rule requiring the court to rule only on the facts presented.
