LIABILITY OF PARTNERSHIP

FOR WRONGFUL ACTS OF A

PARTNER
The partnership is solidarily liable with the
partner who causes loss or injury to any person
not a partner, or incurs any penalty through any
wrongful act or omission:
(1) In the ordinary course of the business of the
partnership; or
(2) Not in such ordinary course of business, but
with the authority of his co-partners [Art.
1822].
LIABILITY OF THE
PARTNERSHIP FOR
MISAPPLICATION OF MONEY
OR PROPERTY
The partnership is liable for losses suffered by a
third person whose money or property was:
(1) Received by a partner:
(a) Acting within the scope of his apparent
authority; and
(b) Misapplied it;
(2) Received by the partnership:
(a) In the course of its business; and
(b) Misapplied by any partner while it is in
the custody of the partnership [Art.
1823].
LIABILITY OF THE OTHER
PARTNERS UNDER ART. 1822
AND 1823
All partners are solidarily liable with the
partnership for its liabilities under Articles 1822
and 1823 [Art. 1824].
This is without prejudice to the guilty partner
being liable to the other partners. However, as
far as third persons are concerned, the
partnership is answerable [De Leon (2010)].
