damage caused by breach of the partnership agreement or other | misconduct. The partnership might also incur substantial expenses | resulting from a partner's premature withdrawal from a term | partnership, such as replacing the partner's expertise or obtaining | new financing. The wrongfully dissociating partner would be liable | to the partnership for those and all other expenses and damages | that are causally related to the wrongful dissociation. |
|
| | Section 701(c) provides that any damages for wrongful | dissociation may be offset against the amount of the buyout price | due to the partner under Section 701(a), and Section 701(h) | provides that a partner who wrongfully dissociates from a term | partnership is not entitled to payment of the buyout price until | the term expires. |
|
| | Under UPA Section 38(2)(c)(II), in addition to an offset for | damages, the goodwill value of the partnership is excluded in | determining the value of a wrongfully dissociating partner's | partnership interest. Under RUPA, however, unless the | partnership's goodwill is damaged by the wrongful dissociation, | the value of the wrongfully dissociating partner's interest will | include any goodwill value of the partnership. If the firm's | goodwill is damaged, the amount of the damages suffered by the | partnership and the remaining partners will be offset against the | buyout price. See Section 701 and Comments. |
