GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Law (general)
French term or phrase: decheance du terme
This keeps coming up in a "Convention de cautionnement Solidaire".
As a title : "DECHEANCE DU TERME
Le créancier prononcera la decheance du terme au plus tard ...."
"Pendant la période qui précede la decheance du terme, le creancier effectuera toutes demarches amiables ....."

"Pièces à présenter pour la mise en jeu de la garantie.
Lettres de decheance du terme et leur avis de reception..."

I have "expiry of term" or "lapsing". I know what they're taling about but could someone please confirm that this is the correct use here ?

Thanks to all

Cheers
Dianne

Explanation:
"déchéance du terme" is most commonly found in loan agreements and means, precisely, acceleration (the loan becomes immediately repayable).

In this case, the "decheance du terme" is clearly referring to acceleration under the underlying loan agreement (i.e. the loan for which the personal guarantee is provided as security).

Thus, in order to claim under the guarantee, the creditor has to provide proof that acceleration has validly occurred under the loan (i.e. proof that the creditor is not just relying on the guarantee in order to get his money back quicker).

By the way, GDT gives \"event of default\". I tend to avoid it because I see it as being broader, but it is extremely common in English loan agreements so I should have mentioned it before.

disagree  Christopher RH: fast - but neither accurate nor reliable. "n-a" as an explanation for a wild guess is a bit light /// 25 years' experience of not knowing what "déchéance du terme" means?
3 hrs
  -> What do you mean wild guess? Twenty-five years of experience is more than enough. And n/a is not an explanation; it means not applicable.
