On-demand performance guarantees are a staple in construction and engineering projects due to their commercial function of ‘as good as cash’ security, providing employers with prompt and reliable security if contractors fail to meet their obligations. Demand guarantees are designed to be autonomous instruments. The guarantor’s obligation to pay arises upon presentation of a demand that complies with the guarantee’s terms, regardless of disputes under the underlying contract (the independence principle). The independence principle is the main charm of demand guarantees, as the South African courts have consistently upheld the independence of these guarantees, with fraud by the beneficiary being the only recognised exception to payment.
