Patrick Dillon applied for a $100,000 loan from Carlton Savings & Loan. Carlton required him to obtain a surety. Patrick approached Sinclair Surety Co., which insisted that Patrick provide it with a financial statement. Patrick did so, but the statement was materially false. In reliance upon the financial statement and in return for a premium, Sinclair agreed to act as surety. Upon Sinclairs commitment to act as surety, Carlton loaned Patrick the $100,000. After one payment of $4,000, Patrick defaulted. He then filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. Does Sinclair have any valid defense against Carlton?
