Creditor’s forbearance to sue does not discharge surety

Mere forbearance on the part of the creditor to sue the principal debtor or to enforce any other remedy against him does not, in the absence
of any provision in the guarantee to the contrary, discharge the surety.
Illustration
B owes to C a debt guaranteed by A. The debt becomes payable. C does not sue B for a year after the debt has become
payable. A is not discharged from his suretyship.
