Oral Argument
2/19/2021
Highlight
A personal guaranty allowing the guarantee to proceed directly against the guarantor without first proceeding against the principal is absolute and unconditional.
Under an absolute guaranty, the guarantor is liable to the guarantee immediately upon the default of the principal.
A decision on an award of attorney’s fees rests in the sound discretion of the district court.
The Supreme Court and the district courts possess concurrent jurisdiction to award attorney’s fees on appeal; however a preference exists that the initial determination be made by the district court.
