High Court, in claim by debtor in bankruptcy proceedings, rules that personal guarantees signed by company directors as arranging debtors to secure loans for the benefit of their company were valid and enforceable, as the various loan start dates began after the guarantees were signed and entered into, and further that the facility letters arranging for the transactions were clear and unambiguous on the need for guarantees and indemnity from the company directors.
