Second: That persons in business should be able, while remaining themselves liable without limit for the obligations contracted in its conduct, to associate with...
Side 3 - No such partnership shall be deemed to have been formed, until a certificate shall have been made, acknowledged, filed and recorded, nor until an affidavit shall have been filed, as above directed; and if any false statement be made in such certificate or affidavit, all the persons interested in such partnership, shall be liable for all the engagements thereof, as general partner?.
Side 5 - ... 2 (2)). This provision eliminates the difficulties which arise from the recognition of de facto associations, made necessary by the assumption that the association is not formed unless a strict compliance with the requirements of the act is had.

Side 14 - In those states where a creditor on beginning an action can attach debts due the defendant before he has obtained a judgment against the defendant It is recommended that paragraph (1) of this section read as follows: On due application to a court of competent jurisdiction by any creditor of a limited partner, the court may charge the interest of the indebted limited partner with payment of the unsatisfied amount of such...
Side 2 - The business reason for the adoption of acts making provisions for limited or special partners is that men in business often desire to secure capital from others. There are at least three classes of contracts which can be made with those from whom the capital is secured : One, the ordinary loan on interest ; another, the loan where the lender, in lieu of interest, takes a share in the profits of the business ; third, those cases in which the person advancing the capital secures, besides a share in...

The lender who takes a share in the profits, except possibly in one or two of our jurisdictions, does not by reason of that fact run a risk of being held as a partner.

Side 18 - This Act. In any case not provided for in this act, the rules of law and equity, including the law merchant, and in particular the rules relating to the law of principal and agent and to the effect of fraud, misrepresentation, duress or coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, or other invalidating cause, shall continue to apply to contracts to sell and to sales of goods.
Side 3 - ... liability and becomes, as far as those dealing with the business are concerned, in all respects a partner. The courts in thus interpreting the statutes, although they made an American partnership with limited members something very different from the French Societe en Commandite from which the idea of the original statutes was derived, unquestionably carried out the intent of those responsible for their adoption. This is shown by the very wording of the statutes themselves. For instance, all...
