Guarantees in New Zealand

Guarantees in New Zealand sets out and explains the substantive rules of law in respect of guarantees in a uniquely domestic context.

This work follows the scope of the law of guarantees and provides in-depth commentary and analysis of key principles established across the Commonwealth, and explores their applications and interaction within New Zealand regulatory frameworks and common law.

The book contains 13 chapters, starting by introducing characteristics and contrasts of guarantees. It then moves into chapters on contractual requirements, formal requirements, interpretation, vitiating factors, liability, discharge and rights of guarantors, then to insolvency, leases, and a comparison of surety guarantees against demand guarantees.

Guarantees in New Zealand is a must-have for those who practice, study and advise in the field of commercial law.
