Select at least three legal word or term from the module and define it using your own words in not
less than 100 words each.
INSOLVENCY
Insolvency is the state of being insolvent, or lacking of money to pay-off their debts. It
basically means the inability to pay debts. Insolvency is a term when an someone can no
longer meet their financial obligations to lenders as debts become due. It can also lead
to a poor cash flow. It is also known to lead to insolvency proceedings, wherein legal
actions will be taken against the insolvent person or entity, and assets may be liquidated
to pay off outstanding debts that wasn’t paid within the contract period.
SOLIDARY LIABILITY
Solidary liability is an obligation that refers to liability of any one debtor among two or
more joint debtors to pay the entire debt if the creditor so chooses. It is equivalent to
joint and several liability in the common law. Solidary debtors (obligor), chosen by the
solidary creditors (obligee) are the one who will pay for the whole amount of liability
including the debt of other, regardless if it is beneficial for him or not. It is considered as
a protection of the creditor in the event that a creditor becomes insolvent or has
become difficult to reach.
CIVIL INTERDICTION
2. Pick the most important lesson you learned in the module. In 300 words, discuss it and explain why
you consider it as important.
The most important lesson I learned this week is about the notice to a partner. Notice to a
partner is notice to the partnership; in other words, if a partner knew, the partnership cannot
assert ignorance. Another thing is about the dissolution and winding up. Before, I am confused
with the two terms, dissolution and winding up. But after this module, I gained something that
helped me understand the term more. Something that helped me to differentiate the two
terms. First is the winding up. In winding up, the company still do business. It is the process of
dissolving a company. The sole purpose of still doing business is to sell off stock, pay off
creditors, and distribute any remaining assets to partners or shareholders. While in dissolution,
it is caused by different circumstances such as the death of any partner, by the insolvency of any
partner or of the partnership, by the civil interdiction of any partner and when a specific thing
which a partner had promised to contribute to the partnership, perishes before the delivery; in
any case by the loss of the thing, when the partner who contributed it having reserved the
ownership thereof, has only transferred to the partnership the use or enjoyment of the same;
but the partnership shall not be dissolved by the loss of the thing when it occurs after the
partnership has acquired the ownership.

At the point when the real property is for the sake of the organization and is executed by a partner in his
own name without power then the transferee doesn't turn into the proprietor of the real property, be
that as it may the reasonable interest passes to him. It tends to be recovered, however when the
demonstration is not supposedly carrying on the standard way of business and when the third person is
knowledgeable on the partner's lack of power. Although, when the property is under the name of all the
other partners and the act is carried out by all the members of the partnership then their rights and
privileges will be reformed to the transferee as it is on the agreement.
The dissolution of a partnership is altering of the connection of the partners brought about by any a
partner refrain to be related in the carrying on as eminent from the ending up of the business. On
disintegration the association is not ended, however proceeds until the ending up of organization
undertakings is finished which totally means that this is just the start of the process of entirely winding
up the partnership.
COMMENT:
I agree with what my classmate stated. A partnership can have only one representative for
example, in a meeting, and that representative is responsible for disseminating the topics
discussed through the partners. It is not necessary that all the partners will show up during the
meet. One person to represent the business is enough. Another thing she mentioned is about
the dissolution. From how I defined dissolution, it means dismissing or closing down a
partnership. It represents the downfall of a company. Dissolution happens when the partners
decides that they want to close down the business. But closing down a business has a step-by-
step process just like how my classmate stated.
