THE LEGAL NATURE OF THE GUARANTEE ON THE EXAMPLE OF COMPARISON WITH SOLIDARY OBLIGATIONS

The article is devoted to the distinction between guarantees and joint obligations. The author substantiates the approach according to which the guarantor has his own obligation, different from the obligation of the main debtor. At the same time, it is stated that the solidarity of the responsibility of the guarantor should not lead to the conclusion about the solidarity of the obligation common to the main debtor and the guarantor. As examples confirming the independent nature of the obligation of the guarantor are given: differences in the consequences of the fulfillment of the obligation by the principal debtor or guarantor, the possibility of the guarantor making objections available to the principal debtor, the right of the guarantor not to fulfill his obligation until the creditor realizes the right to set-off against the principal debtor, the right of the guarantor not to discharge his obligation until the creditor claims the principal debtor in his bankruptcy proceedings, lady termination of the obligation of the guarantor, the consequences of termination of the principal obligation of the guarantor, the consequences of missing the limitation period in respect of the creditor against the principal debtor, and others. Taking into account the different legal nature of joint obligations and sureties, it is proposed to clarify paragraph 52 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Russian Armed Forces of November 22, 2016 No. 54, excluding the second paragraph from it.
