Abstrakt: This article examines the vulnerability o f sureties who give contract securities or guarantees-the most commonly used securities in the commercial world. Such securities are signed by sureties in situations where they have little information about important aspects o f the contract. It is not often, for example, that sureties have sufficient information about the borrowers' loans or the financial health o f their business. Such knowledge is invaluable i f sureties are to give a fully informed consent to participate in the transaction. The vulnerability o f the sureties is evident where pressure and coercion from the creditor may affect the former s judgment so that they are then not able to act in a fully independent manner, fully aware o f the risks involved.
