This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Warfield (D) executed a guaranty to Baltimore Gas and Electric (P). It was on a regular form of the company. The word “Seal” was printed at the end of each of the prepared lines on the form and appears after the signature of D. The instrument does not recite that it is under seal. P sued D on the guaranty for services rendered up to February 2, 1982. P moved for summary judgment. D opposed the motion in that the suit was not brought within the three years after the cause of action has accrued. The judge found that the guaranty was under seal and ruled for P. D appealed.
