This thesis has contended the role of a Personal Guarantor in bankruptcy process where the Debitur is a party who performs a default. In a encumbrance agreement the term of Personal Guarantor is known, which is a third party (third person) who guarantees the Debtor when the Debtor performs a default. In a law of Bankruptcy, the role of a personal Guarantor is important although as the third party, the standing of such Personal Guarantor as the guarantor may be positioned as a debtor when the Personal Guarantor releases its privilege. In the Case of the Judgment of the Supreme Court No.868 K/Pdt.Sus/2010, Standard Chartered Bank demands the Bankruptcy Respondent I Tundjung Rachmanto and the Bankruptcy Respondent II Rudy Syahputra (as the shareholders and the guarantors) because PT. HPS. (Handalan Putra Sejahtera) did not pay its debt due to Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered Bank filed a petition for cassation as it was considered that the court's judgment was inappropriate on the ground that Tundjung Rachmanto and Rudy Syahputra had two or more creditors and they did not settle at least the debt that was due and payable. The Supreme Court acceded Standard Chartered Bank?s petition (the Requester for cassation) pursuant to an argument by the evidences given by Standard Chartered Bank (the Requester for cassation).
