New York Court of Appeals

The Utica City National Bank, Respondent v. John K. Gunn, Appellant

January 8, 1918222 N.Y. 204

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that whether the guaranty covers renewals of existing loans is a question for the jury and that the bond may be interpreted to include such renewals. The decision rests on the language of the guaranty, the surrounding circumstances, and the business meaning of "loans and discounts."
