Item 1

 
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.

the partnership's business pursuant to section 1083.
