all the partners. That is merely an expression of the general rule | that the partnership agreement may override the statutory default | rules and that the partnership agreement, like any contract, can be | amended at any time by unanimous consent. |
|
| | UPA Section 31(1)(c) provides that a term partnership may be | wound up by the express will of all the partners whose | transferable interests have not been assigned or charged for a | partner's separate debts. That rule reflects the belief that the | remaining partners may find transferees very intrusive. This | provision has been deleted, however, because the liquidation is | easily accomplished under Section 801(2)(ii) by first expelling | the transferor partner under Section 601(4)(ii). |
|
| | (iii) Section 801(2)(iii) is based on UPA Section 31(1)(a) | and provides for winding up a term partnership upon the | expiration of the term or the completion of the undertaking. |
|
| | Subsection (2)(iii) must be read in conjunction with Section | 406. Under Section 406(a), if the partners continue the business | after the expiration of the term or the completion of the | undertaking, the partnership will be treated as a partnership at | will. Moreover, if the partners continue the business without | any settlement or liquidation of the partnership, under Section | 406(b) they are presumed to have agreed that the partnership will | continue, despite the lack of a formal agreement. The partners | may also agree to ratify all acts taken since the end of the | partnership's term. |
|
| | 6. Section 801(3) provides for dissolution upon the | occurrence of an event specified in the partnership agreement as | resulting in the winding up of the partnership business. The | partners may, however, agree to continue the business and to | ratify all acts taken since dissolution. |
|
| | 7. Section 801(4) continues the basic rule in UPA Section | 31(3) and provides for dissolution if it is unlawful to continue | the business of the partnership, unless cured. The "all or | substantially all" proviso is intended to avoid dissolution for | insubstantial or innocent regulatory violations. If the | illegality is cured within 90 days after notice to the | partnership, it is effective retroactively for purposes of this | section. The requirement that an uncured illegal business be | wound up cannot be varied in the partnership agreement. See | Section 103(b)(8). |
|
| | 8. Section 801(5) provides for judicial dissolution on | application by a partner. It is based in part on UPA Section | 32(1), and the language comes in part from RULPA Section 802. A | court may order a partnership dissolved upon a judicial |
