Art. 1820. An Admission or Representation Made by Any Partner Concerning Partnership
Art. 1820. An Admission or Representation Made by Any Partner Concerning Partnership
such property has been conveyed by the grantee or a person claiming through such
grantee to a holder for value without knowledge that the partner, in making the
conveyance, has exceeded his authority.
Art. 1821. Notice to any partner of any matter relating to partnership affairs, and the
knowledge of the partner acting in the particular matter, acquired while a partner or then
present to his mind, and the knowledge of any other partner who reasonably could and
should have communicated it to the acting partner, operate as notice to or knowledge of
the
partnership, except in the case of fraud on the partnership, committed by or with the
consent of that partner.
Notice to partner is notice to partnership Clearly a third person desiring to give notice to a
partnership of some matter pertaining to the partnership business need not
communicate with all of the partners. If notice is delivered to a partner, that is an
effective communication to the partnership.
Knowledge before becoming partner Where the knowledge or notice had been received
by the partner before he became a partner, and his partners are ignorant of this, and
he is not the partner acting in the particular matter, there is no doubt that there has
been neither knowledge of nor notice to the partnership.
Art. 1822. Where, by any wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the
ordinary course of the business of the partnership or with the authority of co-
partners, loss or injury is caused to any person, not being a partner in the partnership,
or any penalty is incurred, the partnership is liable therefor to the same extent as the
partner so acting or omitting to act.
Partner liable for wrongful act of a partner The partners are liable for the negligent
operation of a vehicle by a partner, acting in the course of business, which results in a
traffic accident.
If he is driving a partnership-owned vehicle for purposes of his own, the acting partner
alone is liable it is not a partnership tort.
