Q & A
What are the rights of a partner in a partnership according to the video?
-A partner has the right to an interest in the partnership, which includes the distribution of profits and losses, and the right to participate in management as an agent of the partnership.
What is the default rule for management if there is no agreement on how the partnership should be managed?
-If there is no agreement on management, all partners are considered agents of the partnership, and what any one of them may do alone binds the partnership.
What are the implications if only one partner is appointed as a managing partner?
-The managing partner may execute all acts of administration despite the opposition of other partners, except in bad faith. If the managing partner was appointed in the partnership contract, their power is irrevocable without just or lawful cause.
Under what conditions can a managing partner be removed from their position?
-A managing partner can be removed for just cause with the vote of partners representing the controlling interest. Without just cause, unanimous consent is required, as it represents a change in the will of the parties.
What are the rules for compensation of a managing partner?
-Generally, a managing partner is not entitled to compensation, but the parties may expressly grant it in writing or it may be implied from circumstances.
How is the conflict resolved if two or more partners are entrusted with management without specification of their respective duties?
-Conflicts are resolved by majority decision. In case of a tie, the partners owning the controlling interest decide, and if still deadlocked, those who vote against the contract prevail.
What is the rule regarding the execution of formal contracts by managing partners?
-The execution of formal contracts requires the consent of all managing partners, unless there is immediate danger of grave or irreparable injury to the partnership.
How do the rules for management among partners affect third parties?
-The rules for management among partners do not affect third parties. A third party can presume that a partner has the consent of co-partners in the ordinary course of business.
What happens if there is no agreement on the distribution of profits among partners?
-If there is no agreement, the industrial partner receives a just and equitable share first, before the capitalist partners divide the remaining profits in proportion to their capital contributions.
How are losses shared among partners when there is no agreement on their apportionment?
-If there is no agreement on losses, they are shared in proportion to the partners' capital contributions, unless there is an agreement on profits, in which case the same ratio applies to losses.
What is the effect of a third person's decision on the distribution of profits or losses among partners?
-A third person's decision is binding unless it is manifestly inequitable. A partner cannot challenge the decision if they have begun executing it or if they fail to impugn it within three months of gaining knowledge of the decision.
