Sec.
35. (1) After dissolution a partner can bind the partnership
except as provided in paragraph (3)
(a)
By any act appropriate for winding up partnership affairs or

(b)
By any transaction which would bind the partnership if dissolution
had not taken place, provided the other party to the transaction
(I)
Had extended credit to the partnership prior to dissolution and
had no knowledge or notice of the dissolution; or
(II)
Though he had not so extended credit, had nevertheless known
of the partnership prior to dissolution, and, having no knowledge

advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the place
(or in each place if more than one) at which the partnership
business was regularly carried on.
(2)
The liability of a partner under paragraph (1b) shall be satisfied
out of partnership assets alone when such partner had been prior
to dissolution
(a)
Unknown as a partner to the person with whom the contract is

reputation of the partnership could not be said to have been
in any degree due to his connection with it.

(Section
scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2008)
Sec.
36. Liability of partners upon dissolution.
(1)
The dissolution of the partnership does not of itself discharge
the existing liability of any partner.
(2)
A partner is discharged from any existing liability upon dissolution
of the partnership by an agreement to that effect between himself,
the partnership creditor and the person or partnership continuing
the business, and such agreement may be inferred from the course
of dealing between the creditor having knowledge of the dissolution
and the person or partnership continuing the business.
(3)
Where a person agrees to assume the existing obligations of a
dissolved partnership, the partners whose obligations have been
assumed shall be discharged from any liability to any creditor
of the partnership who, knowing of the agreement, consents to
a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of such
obligations.
(4)
The individual property of a deceased partner shall be liable
for those obligations of the partnership incurred while he was
a partner and for which he was liable under Section 15 but subject
to the prior payment of his separate debts.

of the partnership agreement, each partner, as against his co-partners
and all persons claiming through them in respect of their interests
in the partnership, unless otherwise agreed, may have the partnership
property applied to discharge its liabilities, and the surplus
applied to pay in cash the net amount owing to the respective
partners. But if dissolution is caused by expulsion of a partner,
bona fide under the partnership agreement, and if the expelled
partner is discharged from all partnership liabilities, either
by payment or agreement under Section 36 (2), he shall receive
in cash only the net amount due him from the partnership.
(2)
When dissolution is caused in contravention of the partnership
agreement the rights of the partners shall be as follows:
(a)
Each partner who has not caused dissolution wrongfully shall
have,
I.
All the rights specified in paragraph (1) of this section, and
II.
The right, as against each partner who has caused the dissolution
wrongfully, to damages for breach of the agreement.
(b)
The partners who have not caused the dissolution wrongfully,
if they all desire to continue the business in the same name,
either by themselves or jointly with others, may do so, during
the agreed term for the partnership and for that purpose may
possess the partnership property, provided they secure the payment
by bond approved by the court, or pay to any partner who has
caused the dissolution wrongfully, the value of his interest
in the partnership at the dissolution, less any damages recoverable
under clause (2a II) of this section, and in like manner indemnify
him against all present or future partnership liabilities.
(c)
A partner who has caused the dissolution wrongfully shall have:
I.
If the business is not continued under the provisions of paragraph
(2b) all the rights of a partner under paragraph (1), subject
to clause (2a II), of this section.
II.
If the business is continued under paragraph (2b) of this section
the right as against his co-partners and all claiming through
them in respect of their interests in the partnership, to have
the value of his interest in the partnership, less any damages
caused to his co-partners by the dissolution, ascertained
and paid to him in cash, or the payment secured by bond approved
by the court, and to be released from all existing liabilities
of the partnership; but in ascertaining the value of the partner's
interest the value of the good will of the business shall not
be considered.

or when any partner retires and assigns (or the representative
of the deceased partner assigns) his rights in partnership property
to two or more of the partners, or to one or more of the partners
and one or more third persons, if the business is continued without
liquidation of the partnership affairs, creditors of the first
or dissolved partnership are also creditors of the partnership
so continuing the business.
(2)
When all but one partner retire and assign (or the representative
of a deceased partner assigns) their rights in partnership property
to the remaining partner, who continues the business without
liquidation of partnership affairs, either alone or with others,
creditors of the dissolved partnership are also creditors of
the person or partnership so continuing the business.
(3)
When any partner retires or dies and the business of the dissolved
partnership is continued as set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2)
of this section, with the consent of the retired partners or
the representative of the deceased partner, but without any assignment
of his right in partnership property, rights of creditors of
the dissolved partnership and of the creditors of the person
or partnership continuing the business shall be as if such assignment
had been made.
(4)
When all the partners or their representatives assign their rights
in partnership property to one or more third persons who promise
to pay the debts and who continue the business of the dissolved
partnership, creditors of the dissolved partnership are also
creditors of the person or partnership continuing the business.
(5)
When any partner wrongfully causes a dissolution and the remaining
partners continue the business under the provisions of Section
38 (2b), either alone or with others, and without liquidation
of the partnership affairs, creditors of the dissolved partnership
are also creditors of the person or partnership continuing the
business.
(6)
When a partner is expelled and the remaining partners continue
the business, either alone or with others, without liquidation
of the partnership affairs, creditors of the dissolved partnership
are also creditors of the person or partnership continuing the
business.
(7)
The liability of a third person becoming a partner in the partnership
continuing the business, under this section to the creditors
of the dissolved partnership shall be satisfied out of partnership
property only.
(8)
When the business of a partnership after dissolution is continued
under any conditions set forth in this section the creditors
of the dissolved partnership, as against the separate creditors
of the retiring or deceased partner or the representative of
the deceased partner, have a prior right to any claim of the
retired partner or the representative of the deceased partner
against the person or partnership continuing the business, on
account of the retired or deceased partner's interest in the
dissolved partnership or on account of any consideration promised
for such interest or for his right in partnership property.
(9)
Nothing in this section shall be held to modify any right of
creditors to set aside any assignment on the ground of fraud.
(10)
The use by the person or partnership continuing the business
of the partnership name, or the name of a deceased partner as
part thereof, shall not of itself make the individual property
of the deceased partner liable for any debts contracted by such
person or partnership.
