§ 4-10. Personal guarantee that has not fallen due in a debt settlement

The section applies to debtors who have given a personal guarantee, that is, guaranteed someone else's debt, where the claim had not yet fallen due when the negotiations were opened. Money is nevertheless set aside, as if the claim had fallen due. If it becomes clear during the period that the personal guarantee will not fall due, or if it has not fallen due when the period is over, the money set aside is shared proportionally among the other creditors. The section is based on the same idea as § 4-9 on disputed claims (omstridt fordring) and belongs to the distribution rules in § 4-8.
