              SURETYSHIP AND GUARANTY 3D



                    CHAPTER 3.   INCIDENTS OF SURETYSHIP STATUS

     TOPIC  2. SECONDARY OBLIGOR'S RECOURSE AGAINST PRINCIPAL OBLIGOR

                       TITLE  C. RESTITUTION AND SUBROGATION

D.Mass.Bkrtcy.Ct.2024. Cit. in disc. §§ 27-31 which constitutes most of Chapter 3, Topic 2, Title C. In
joint Chapter 11 proceedings for debtors that each owned property that was part of a planned athletic,
entertainment, and hospitality complex, debtors sought confirmation ofa proposed reorganization plan.
This court overruled objections filed by general contractor that built an ice-skating rink on one debtor's
property and had a claim against that debtor only, holding, among other things, that the doctrine of
marshaling did not apply to require a senior secured creditor that had made term loans to debtors, each
of which was obligated as either a borrower or guarantor under the loans, to first look to the collateral of
guarantor debtors that were not obligated to general contractor before seeking satisfaction from the
debtor that was obligated to general contractor, whose assets were general contractor's only collateral. In
making its decision, the court cited the Restatement Third of Suretyship and Guaranty in noting that
issues of subrogation would arise if a guarantor fully paid the debt of a primary obligor, and that,
generally, a subrogated guarantor was entitled to an assignment of loan documents and rights to
collateral. In re NESV Ice, LLC, 661 B.R. 427, 473.
