Sociology | Mercantile Law | International Law | International Relations

Rights and duties of partners after a change in the firm, after the expiry of the term of the firm and where additional undertakings are carried out:

  • Where a change occurs in the constitutions 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;
  • 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
  • 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 partners in respect of the other adventures or undertakings are the same as those in respect of the original adventures or undertakings.
