It provides an overview of relevant contractual issues relating to guarantees and indemnities (the statute of frauds, capacity) as well as legal issues (undue influence, duress, role of directors). It also provides links to our more detailed content on performance bonds, payment guarantees, comfort letters and our standard form guarantees and indemnities.	Practice note: overview	Maintained
