“[p]arol evidence is inadmissible to establish ... a promise to pay the debt of a third person....”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"In Seashell, Inc. v. Simon, supra, we stated that the pecuniary or business motivation exception applies only in those instances where the promisor by promising to pay the debt of a third person, assumes a primary obligation, rather than a collateral or secondary obligation. Showing that the promisor had a pecuniary or business motivation may be a fact to be considered, but the mere existence of such motivation is not controlling. The determinative inquiry is whether the obligation is primary or collateral. Star Sales Company v. Arnoult, 169 So.2d 178 (La.App. 4th Cir.1964); Kemp Furniture Company v. Murrell, 227 So.2d 659 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1969); Seashell, Inc. v. Simon, supra."”
