Five published decisions (239-265) from the Kentucky Court of Appeals for Mar. 21, 2014:

269.  Loan Guarantees and KRS § 371.065.
Buridi v. The Leasing Group Pool II, LLC
Jefferson County, COA Pub 3/21/2014

COA affirmed summary judgment in which trial court enforced personal guarantees of doctors  upon default by KMC.  The doctors admit signing the guaranties, but dispute their enforceability under KRS § 371.065(1), claiming the summary guaranties do not “expressly refer” to the leases the Appellees say they guaranteed. The trial court found an internal reference in the guaranties made them statutorily sound and enforceable and awarded summary judgment to Appellees.
