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 |
