The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
We examine the grounds of appeal.
In order to recognize the establishment of a guarantee agreement, there must be a guarantor's intent of guarantee. The existence of such guarantee intention is a matter of interpretation of the parties' intent and fact-finding to be determined by comprehensively considering the motive and background of the parties involved in the transaction, the form and contents of the involvement, the purpose to be achieved by the transaction, the transaction practices, etc. However, since the guarantee agreement is made in special circumstances to bear it, the existence and scope of the guarantor's intention of guarantee should be strictly limited and recognized.
According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below rejected the plaintiff's assertion that the plaintiff was liable to pay the above promissory note to the non-party 2 for the payment of the above promissory note because it is difficult to view that the non-party 2 had a duty to pay the above promissory note to the non-party 3 to exchange the above promissory note with the above non-party 3's own employees, because it is too high par value and it is difficult to use the promissory note as it is, therefore, because the non-party 2 issued the above promissory note with the advance payment of the price for the article, and the non-party 1 had a duty to pay the above promissory note with the non-party 2 to the non-party 2 to exchange it with the above non-party 3's own employees, and it is hard to view that the non-party 2 had a duty to pay the above promissory note with the above non-party 2's own employees to exchange it with the above promissory note, and there is no violation of the legal principles as to the non-party 2's payment of the above promissory note.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and all costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
