Bank guaranty dispute over blanks and statute of frauds
Attorney Dunn argued that blanks left in a guaranty render it incomplete and any filling after delivery discharges the guarantor under Illinois law. He cited cases that alterations after receipt are invalid and that benefits do not erase protections of the statute of frauds. Black countered no changes were made to terms, only blanks filled, and questioned why Mrs. Westfall signed if she did not intend to fulfill the guaranty.
