§425-135 - Dissociated partner's liability to other persons.
§425-135 Dissociated partner's liability to
other persons. (a) A partner's dissociation does not of itself discharge
the partner's liability for a partnership obligation incurred before
dissociation. A dissociated partner is not liable for a partnership obligation
incurred after dissociation, except as otherwise provided in subsection (b).
(b) A partner who dissociates without
resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business is liable
as a partner to the other party in a transaction entered into by the
partnership within two years after the partner's dissociation, only if the
partner is liable for the obligation under section 425-117 and at the time of
entering into the transaction the other party:
(1) Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner
was then a partner;
(2) Did not have notice of the partner's
dissociation; and
(3) Is not deemed to have had knowledge under section
425-114(b) or notice under section 425-136(c).
(c) By agreement with the partnership creditor
and the partners continuing the business, a dissociated partner may be released
from liability for a partnership obligation.
(d) A dissociated partner is released from
liability for a partnership obligation if a partnership creditor, with notice
of the partner's dissociation but without the partner's consent, agrees to a
material alteration in the nature or time of payment of a partnership
obligation. [L 1999, c 284, pt of §1]
