Case:

31–3. Discharge in Bankruptcy. Caroline McAfee loaned $400,000 to Carter Oaks Crossing. Joseph Harman, president of Carter Oaks Crossing, signed a promissory note providing that the company would repay the amount with interest in installments beginning in 1999 and ending by 2006. Harman signed a personal guaranty for the note. Carter Oaks Crossing defaulted on the note, so McAfee sued Harman for payment under the guaranty. Harman moved for summary judgment on the ground that McAfee’s claim against him had been dis- charged in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. The case had been filed after 1999 but before the default on the note. The guar- anty was not listed among Harman’s debts in the bankruptcy filing. Would the obligation under the guaranty have been discharged in bankruptcy, as Harman claimed? Why or why not? [Harman v. McAfee, 302 Ga.App. 698, 691 S.E.2d 586 (2010)]
