Introduction
Law of Partnership
Topics / contents to be covered in this module:
a) Concept of partnership
b) Essentials and kinds of partnership
c) General duties of partners
d) Mutual rights and liabilities of partners
LAW OF PARTNERSHIPKINDS & MUTUAL RIGHTS & DUTIES
Partnership Act, 1932
Law of partnership is governed by Partnership Act, 1932.
Partnership has been defined in section 4 of the Act which is reproduced
below:
"Partnership" is the relation between persons who have agreed to share the
profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all. Persons who
have entered into partnership with one another called individually "partners"
and collectively "a firm" and the name under which their business is carried on is
called the "firm name".
Explanation:
Partnership is defined as a voluntary contract between two or more competent
person to place their money, effects, labour and skill, or some or all of them, in
lawful commerce or business, with the understanding that there shall be a
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
5/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
communion of the profits thereof between them. Halsbury defines a partnership
as "the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in
common with a view of profit".
Partnership can also be interpreted as under:
Partnership is the relation between individuals who have entered into agreement
for the purpose of sharing profits of a business.
'Partner', 'Firm', 'Firm's name'.- Individuals bound in relation of partnership
are individually called 'Partners' and collectively 'a firm', and the name under
which, their business is carried on is called the 'firm name'.
Proof of existence of Partnership':
Where appellant claimed to be a partner of a partnership firm and one of the
alleged partners denied any such partnership, it was incumbent upon the
appellant to have proved on record that there was an agreement between the
alleged partners for carrying on business in partnership. Registration of firm
disclosing that certain persons were its partners was not by itself the proof of
execution of any such agreement between the said alleged partners to do
business in partnership.
Liability of Partners:
The Defendant Establishment is a partnership Firm and other Defendants being
Partners of that firm were, therefore, jointly and severally liable for the amount
claimed in suit.
Essential Elements of Partnership:
There are four important elements necessary to constitute partnership.-
(i) There must be an association of two or more persons to carry on a business.
(ii) There must be an agreement entered into by all the persons concerned.
-

6/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
(iii) The agreement must be to share the profits of a business.
(iv) The business must be carried on by all or any of the persons concerned acting
for all.
All the above elements must be present before a group of persons can be held to
be Partners. Each of these elements are discussed below in their necessary
details.
(i)There must be an association of two or more persons to carry on a business. A
group of persons with no legal relations inter se, i.e. no mutual rights and
liabilities between themselves would not be a partnership.
(ii)There must be an agreement entered into by all the persons concerned. This
requirement emphasizes the fact that partnership can only arise as a result of an
agreement, express or implied, between two or more persons there must be an
agreement entered into by all the partners. Partnership is thus created by a
contract; it does not arise by the operation of law. Joint ownership may arise by
the operation of law, but not partnership. Thus on the death of a person, his
children may inherit the family properly jointly together with the family business
and may share the profits of the business equally; but they are not, for that
reasons, partners.
Only lawful Agreement:
The contract which is the foundation of partnership, must itself be founded on
good faith, and must be for a lawful object and purpose and between competent
persons. In short it is subject to the ordinary incidents and attributes of contracts.
(iii) The Agreement must be to share the profits of a business.-The object of the
agreement or contract is to carry on a business. And the business which the
partners carry on must, of course, be legal. Where there is no partnership. The
-

Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
mere fact that several persons own something in common which produces
returns and that such person divide those returns according to their respective
interests, does not make them partners. For instance A and B are co-owners of a
house let to a tenant and A and B divide the net rent between themselves. A and
B are not partners, because receiving rent of a house let to a tenant is not a
business.
(a) Term "Business". defined.- The term business has been defined (in
Section. 2) to include every trade, occupation and profession. Business may be
temporary or permanent (i.e. indefinite). But it must be in existence. An
agreement to carry on business at a future time does no result in present
partnership.
(b) Sharing of profits. The sharing of profits is an essential element of a
partnership agreement. The members of religious or charitable societies and
clubs are not partners, as the idea of sharing, or even making of profits is not
involved in these societies associations. An agreement to share profit is essential
but it should be noted that an agreement to share the losses is not essential.
Where nothing is said as to sharing of losses it is implied in a partnership deed. It
may, however be agreed that as between the partners any one or more of them
shall not be liable for losses.
(c) Profits of business.- The term profits refers to net profits that is to say the
excess of returns over advances, or in other words, the excess of what is obtained
over the cost of obtaining it. The English Partnership Act expressly provides that
sharing gross returns will not constitute a partnership. Thus, in one English case,
the owner of a theatre allowed a travelling manager and his company to use the
building, scenery, appliances, etc., in consideration of receiving half the money
obtained from the spectators. In a case law, the Court observed that this did not
make the owner answerable as a partner of the traveling manager. (Lyon V
Knowles, 1863, 3 B & S. 556)

(iv) Carrying of business.-
The last element is that business must be carried on by all or by any of the
persons concerned acting for all. This shows that the persons or the group who
conduct the business do so as agents for all the persons in the group, and are,
therefore, liable to account to all. In fact, the relation of principal and agent
amongst the partners i.e. mutual agency, is the true test of partnership. A partner
is both a principal and an agent. While the relation between partners inter se is
that of principals, but in relation to third parties for the business of the firm, they
are agents of the firm and also of one another. Thus each partner is regarded as
an agent of the other partners, and as such, a partner acting in the course of thebusiness of the firm, can bind his co-partners. But in order to bind his co-partners,
it is necessary for the partner acting on behalf of the firm to contract in the firm
name or in any other manner expressing or implying an intention to bind his co-
partners. A partner contracting in his own name can create only a
personal liability and not the collective liability of the firm. The mere fact that
money borrowed by partner in his own name on security belonging to him
personally, has been used for the purpose of the firm with the knowledge of his
partners, does not render them liable.
Kinds of Partnership
a) Partnership-at-will
b) Particular partnership
These are discussed in detail in the following paragraphs:
Partnership at will:
It has been defined in section 7 of the Act which is reproduced below:
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
9/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
Where no provision is made by contract between the partners for the duration of
their partnership, or for the determination of their partnership, the partnership is
"partnership at will".
Explanation:
According to Sec. 7 the "Partnership at will" is a partnership agreement between
the partners where by neither any definite period of partnership nor a provision.
for the determination of the partnership has been provided, and its duration is left
to the discretion or will of the partners themselves.
Particular partnership
A particular partnership has been defined in section 8 of the Act which is
reproduced below: A person may become a partner with another person in
particular adventures or undertakings.

by plaintiff at a particular station from a particular company. Partnership, held
formed for a single venture and could continue only as long as agency lasted.

-

12/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
render true accounts and full information of all things affecting the firm to
any partner or his legal representative.
Explanation:
Partnership rules impose the following two paramount duties and liabilities on a
partner.-
1. Duty of good faith and common advantage.
2. Duty to render true accounts and full information.
3. Duty of good faith and common advantage provides that partners are bound-
(a) to carry on the business of the firm to the greatest common advantage;and
(b) to be just and faithful to each other. This duty is very widely and
generally worded. In practice.
it means that all the endeavours of partner must be directed towards securing
maximum profit for the firm.
Mutual rights and liabilities of partners:
These are contained in section 13 of the Act which is reproduced below: Subject
to contract between the partners
a) a partner is not entitled to receive remuneration for taking part in the conduct
of the business;

interest shall be payable only out of profits;
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
13/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
d) a partner making, for the purposes of the business, any payment or advance
beyond the amount of capital he has agreed to subscribe, is entitled to interest
thereon at the rate of six per cent per annum;
e) the firm shall indemnify a partner in respect of payments made and liabilities
incurred by him) in the ordinary and proper conduct of the business, and
g) in doing such act, in an emergency, for the purpose of protecting the firm from
loss, as would be done by a person of ordinary prudence, in his own case, under
similar circumstances; and
h) a partner shall indemnify the firm for any loss caused to it by his willful neglect
in the conduct of the business of the firm.
Rights and duties of Partners:
These are contained in section 17 of the Act which is given below:
Subject to contract between the partners,-
a) where a change occurs in the constitution of a firm, the mutual rights and
duties of the partners in the reconstituted firm remain the same as they were
immediately before the change as far as may be;
b) where a firm constituted for a fixed term continues to carry on business after
the expiry of that term, the mutual rights and duties of the partners remain the
same as they were before the expiry, so far as they may be consistent with the
incidents of partnership-at-will; and
c) where a firm constituted to carry out one or more adventures or undertakings
carries out other adventures or undertakings, the mutual rights and duties of the
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
14/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
partners in respect of the other adventures or undertakings are the same as
those in respect of the original adventures or undertakings.
Partner to be agent of firm
It is contained in section 18 of the Act which is given below:
Subject to the provisions of this Act a partner is the agent of the firm for the
purposes of the business of the firm.
A Partner Principal as well as an Agent:-
This is one of the most important tests of partnership as agency is the essence of
the relationship of partnership. Therefore, a partner is both a principal and anagent. While the relation between partners with regard to principals, they are
agents of the firm and of one another in relation to third parties for the purposes
of the business of the firm. Thus, each partner is regarded as an agent of the
other partners, and as such, a partner, acting in the course of the business of the
firm, can bind his co-partners. But, in order to bind his co-partners, it is necessary
for the partner acting on behalf of the firm to contract in the firms name or in any
other manner expressing or implying an intention to bind his co-partners. A
partner contracting in his own name incurs only a personal liability, and not the
collective liability of the firm. The mere fact that money borrowed by a partner in
his own name on security belonging to him personally has been used for the
purpose of the firm with the knowledge of partners, does not render them liable.
Implied authority of partner as agent of the firm:
The provisions on this subject are contained in section 19 of the Act which is
reproduced below:
(1) Subject to the provisions of section 22, the act of a partner which is done to
carry on, in the usual way, business of the kind carried on by the firm, binds the
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
15/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
firm. The authority of a partner to bind the firm conferred by this section is called
his "implied authority".
(2) In the absence of any usage or custom of trade to the contrary, the implied
authority of a partner does
not empower him to:-
(a) Submit a dispute relating to the business of the firm to arbitration.
(b) Open a banking account on behalf of the firm in his own name,
(c) Compromise or relinquish any claim or portion of a claim by the firm,
(d) Withdraw a suit or proceeding filed on behalf of the firm,
(e) Admit any liability in a suit or proceeding against the firm,(f) Acquire immovable property on behalf of the firm,
(g) Transfer immovable property belonging to the firm or
(h) Enter into partnership on behalf of the firm.
Section.19, which is one of the most important sections of the Act, lays down that
subject to the provisions of section-22 (which deals with the mode of doing an act
to bind the firm) the act of a partner which is done to carry on, in the usual way,
business of the kind carried on by the firm, binds the firm. The authority of a
partner to bind the firm is called his "implied authority". In order to bind the firm
an act of a partner done within the scope of his implied authority, these
conditions must exist-
1. The act must be done in the conduct of the business of the kind carried on by
the firm.
2. The act must be done in the way which is usual in such business.
3. Finally, the act must be done in the firm name or in any other manner
expressing or implying an intention to bind the firm.
LAW OF PARTNERSHIP

16/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
We have already discussed the concept of partnership, some more concepts are
discussed in the following paragraphs:
Relations of partners to third parties
Liability of a partner for acts of the firm:
It is contained in section 25 of the Act which is reproduced below:
Every partner is liable, jointly with all the other partners and also severally, for all
acts of the firm done while he is a partner.
Sec. 25 of the Act lays down that all the partners of a firm, jointly and severally,
share liabilities of the firm therefore, even where a partner has signed in his ownname a promissory note for the benefit of the firm, all partners are liable on it as
members of the partnership.
Holding out:
This concept is dealt with in section 28 of the Act which is given below:
(1) Any one who by words spoken or written or by conduct represents himself, or
knowingly permits himself to be represented, to be a partner in a firm, is liable as
a partner in that firm to any one who has on the faith of any such representation
given credit to the firm, whether the person representing himself or represented
to be a partner does or does not know that the representation has reached the
person so giving credit.
(2) Where after a partner's death the business is continued in the old firm name,
the continued use of that name or of the deceased partner's name as a part
thereof shall not of itself make his legal representative or his estate liable for any
act of the firm done after his death.
Liability by Holding out:
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
17/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
Section 28 of the Act deals with what is known as liability by "holding out". Where
a person represents himself or knowingly permits himself to be represented as a
partner in a firm, he will be liable as a partner in that firm, to any one who, on the
faith of any such representation, has given credit to the firm. The person so
representing himself, or permitting himself to be so re-presented is known as a
partner by holding out or a partner by estoppel. Even want of knowledge on his
part of the effects of his acts and conduct would not absolve him from liability.
In other words where a man holds himself out as a partner, or a allows others to
do it, he is then stopped from denying the character he has assumed upon the
faith of which creditors may be presumed to have acted. A man so acting may be
rightly held liable as a partner by estoppel. In other words, the doctrine of"holding out" is a part of the principle of estoppel, which lays down that where
one person, by words or conduct induces another to believe him and act upon the
existence of a particular state or facts, he can not afterwards, as regards that
person, deny the existence of such facts.
Thus A is in the habit of representing himself to be a partner of a particular firm. B
on the strength of such representation, and without giving any notice to A
supplies goods on credit to the firm. A would be liable as
a partner to B for the price of the goods.
Essentials of Section 28.-
In order to estop a person from denying that he is a partner on the doctrine of
"Holding out", the following two important elements must co-exist.
1. A person must represent himself to be a partner in a firm, or knowingly permit
himself to be represented and
2. Another person must have given credit to the firm on the faith of such
representation. The following seven additional points may also be noted in
connection with the doctrine of holding outs.
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
18/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
(i) The representation may be express or implied it need not necessarily be
by words spoken or written, it need not be made by the person himself, but
may be made by others.
(ii) There will be no representation by conduct if the acts relied upon are
ambiguous.
(iii) A general representation to the, world at large is not sufficient, unless
the person who gives credit can
satisfy the court that he was aware of, and acted upon it to his prejudice.
(iv) To establish liability, it is not essential to show that the party makingthe representation (or permitting it to be made) has acted fraudulently or
negligently. Even want of knowledge on his part, of the effects of his acts
and conduct, would not absolve him from liability, if his acts and conduct
were such as would induce a reasonable man to believe that he was a
partner, and to act upon such belief. The main thing is whether the
representation has caused the person to whom it was made to act on the
faith of it so as to alter his position.
(v) A former owner does not become a partner by estoppel merely because
the firm has continued to use its old name of which his own name forms a
component part. The rule of estoppel is binding on a former partner who
has retired without giving proper notice of his retirement.
(vi) There is no liability in tort on the ground of holding out, because the
injured person can not claim that he was led to suffer the injury by his belief
in any representation. Thus, B allowed his name to appear on a traction
engine. A hired the engine, and through his negligence, injured C sued B on
the ground of "holding out". It was hold that B was not liable.
-
8/3/2019 Buss & Lab Law-824
19/30
Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
(vii) There can be no holding out to a person who is aware of the actual
facts e.g. a person who has inspected the register of a firm which has been
registered under the Act.
Effects of holding out:-
If a person holds himself out to be a partner of a firm, he becomes personally
liable, he does not thereby become a partner in the firm and he is also not
entitled to any rights as against those who are in fact partners in the firm. By
holding out to be a partner, he does not become an agent of the firm. He merely
makes himself personally liable for the credit given to the firm on the faith of his
representation.
Introduction of a partner:
It is contained in section 31 of the Act which is reproduced below:
(1) Subject to contract between the partners and to the provisions of section 30
no person shall be
introduced as a partner into a firm without the consent of all the existing
partners.
(2) Subject to the provisions of section 30 a person who is introduced as a partner
into a firm does not thereby become liable for any act of the firm done before he
became a partner. Section 30 is about the contracts of wagering, which are void.
Explanation:
Section.31 provides that no person can be introduced as a partner into a firm
without the consent of all the existing partners. Where one of the partners of a
firm transfers his share in the firm without the consent of the other partners the
transferee does not get the status of a partner in view of S. 31, Partnership Act.
He has only limited rights and can claim only a share of the profits to which the
transferor partner was entitled.

Asad Hussain Roll No. 508195455 MBA HRMAIOU
It may be noted that there is nothing to prevent an incoming partner agreeing
with his co-partners to make himself liable for the debts incurred by the firm prior
to his admission therein. But, even where he has so agreed the agreement does
not confer any right on creditors of the old firm to impose the old debts on the
new partner. They can acquire such a right only by entering into an agreement
between themselves and the new partner, either expressly or by implication.
The only way in which a new partner can be made liable to the creditors of the
firm in respect; of past debts is by proving:-
(1) That the re-constituted firm has assumed the liability to pay the debt,
and
(2) That the creditor concerned has agreed to accept the re-constituted firmas his debtors, and discharge the old firm from its liability.
Revocation of continuing guarantee by change in firm:
It is provided in section 38 of the Act which is reproduced here under:
A continuing guarantee given to a firm, or to a third party in respect of the
transaction of a firm, is in the absence of agreement to the contrary, revoked as
to future transactions from the date of any change in the constitution of the firm.
Dissolution of a Firm:
It is contained in section 39 of the Act which is given below:
The dissolution of partnership between all the partners of a firm is called the
"dissolution of the firm".
The various way of dissolution of Firm-
The dissolution of a firm may take place in one of the following five ways.

Conclusion
Reduction of general costs. Business partnering can be cheaper and more flexible
than a merger or acquisition, and can be employed when a merger or acquisition
is not feasible.
Business partnering increases the "competitive advantage. The direct benefits of
Business partnering consists in a greater competitive advantage through the co-
operation (the competitive advantage) and even better opportunities of revenues,
occupation and investment in the sector of application.
Business partnering creates a no more traditionally-based solidarity or "organic",
but a rationale form of "mechanic solidarity. Partnering takes a new approach to
achieving business objectives. It replaces the traditional customer-supplier model
with a collaborative approach to achieving a shared objective; this may be to
build a hospital, improve an existing service contract or launch an entirely new
programme of work. Essentially, the Partners work together to achieve an agreed
common aim whilst each participant may still retain different reasons forachieving that common aim.
