Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the contractual clause should be qualified as suretyship or cumulative debt assumption.
Decisione estratta
The clause was to be qualified as cumulative debt assumption, not suretyship.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant had a recognizable, direct economic interest in the share transaction: the buyer and appellant pursued the same goal of removing the managing director and creating the basis for the appellant to acquire additional shares. Because the creditor could recognize this interest, the protective formal requirements for suretyship did not apply.
