Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Apparent authority of dissociated partner. For 2 years after a partner dissociates without
resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, the partnership, including a
surviving partnership under subchapter 9, is bound by an act of the dissociated partner that would have
bound the partnership under section 1031 before dissociation only if at the time of entering into the
transaction the other party:
A. Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner; [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A,
§2 (NEW).]
B. Did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
C. Is not deemed to have notice under section 1074, subsection 2. [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2
(NEW).]
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
2. Liability for obligation after dissociation. A dissociated partner is liable to the partnership
for any damage caused to the partnership arising from an obligation incurred by the dissociated partner
after dissociation for which the partnership is liable under subsection 1.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
