his or her copartners 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 subsection 2 of NRS
87.360 , the expelled partner shall receive in cash only the net amount due
him or her from the partnership.

wrongfully shall have:
(1) All the rights specified in subsection
1 of this section; and
(2) 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
or her interest in the partnership at the dissolution, less any damages
recoverable under subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of subsection 2, and in
like manner indemnify him or her against all present or future partnership
liabilities.
(c) A partner who has caused the dissolution
wrongfully shall have:
(1) If the business is not continued under
the provisions of paragraph (b) of subsection 2, all the rights of a partner
under subsection 1, subject to subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of subsection
2; or
(2) If the business is continued under
paragraph (b) of subsection 2, the right as against his or her copartners and
all claiming through them in respect of their interests in the partnership, to
have the value of his or her interest in the partnership, less any damages
caused to his or her copartners by the dissolution, ascertained and paid to him
or her 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 partners interest the value of the goodwill of the business
shall not be considered.
