The present matter is a case in point, where a bank fails in its legal pursuit against sureties because its documentation provided that the bank shall certify what the outstanding amount under the credit facility is and that this determination could not be challenged by a defendant. This was contra bones mores<\/i> (contrary to good morals), the court concluded, and the provision was accordingly void.<\/p>\n
