QUESTION

How do I enforce an indemnity clause in an agreement between a consultant and his client.

Asked on Nov 15th, 2014 on Breach of Contract - California
More details to this question:
The consultant signed a promissory note to a lender encumbering his corporate client without authorization and in violation of the consulting agreement. An action was brought by the lender against the corporate client for breach of contract when the promissory note was defaulted. The client, a Belize corporation, defaulted and a default judgment was issued. The lender wants to enforce the default judgment against the consultant based on the indemnity clause of the consulting agreement between the consultant and the corporate client that defaulted.

I would really need to see the agreement to give a clear answer, but bottom line is that if there is a claim to enforce payment against the consultant, the consultant will need to be sued. Jon
