Reference - Parent Involvement. Marcy and George, both artists, discussed forming a partnership to paint portraits. George's parents were interested in investing in the partnership, but they wanted to avoid any liability. George suggested forming a limited partnership. He told Marcy and his parents that they could do it very informally, that an oral agreement was sufficient, and that the parents would be protected from liability. Although George protested strongly on the basis that it was a waster of money, Marcy insisted that a certificate of limited partnership be filed with the secretary of state. After a few months, Marcy and George decided that they wanted to add a new partner, Betty, to the partnership as a general partner. Betty had some expertise in the portrait field but, unfortunately, she had also had some scrapes with local law enforcement. George's parents objected strenuously to the admission of Betty. Marcy and George took the position that the parents, as limited parents, had no say in the admission of a new partner. George's father, who had an interest in painting and was concerned that the partnership was not making very much money, decided to start coming to the partnership studio to manage the business and attempt to bring it into profitability. Are George and Marcy correct in that limited partners have no say regarding the admission of new partners?

Reference - Partnership Disruption. Bruce, Sandra, and Minnie want to form a partnership to assist students with resume preparation and employment searches. Bruce asks Sandra and Minnie if they should draw up some sort of agreement. Sandra replies that a written agreement is not legally required and that an oral agreement will set up a partnership. Upon the urging of Bruce and Minnie, however, Sandra agreed to a written agreement. Sandra has an opportunity to assist some students with resumes and does so without revealing her employment to the partnership. She keeps the funds she receives for herself. When Bruce and Minnie found out, Sandra replied that she was doing two-thirds of the partnership work; that she, therefore, had a majority of the voting rights; and that her actions were appropriate. The articles of partnership did not address the right to share in management, but Bruce and Minnie strongly disagreed with Sandra. Did Sandra commit any breach of duty to the partnership?

Reference - Grooming Losses. Wally, Beverly, and Matthew formed a partnership to groom dogs. Unfortunately, the business did not go as well as expected and the partnership incurred some losses. The articles of partnership did not allocate profits or losses. Matthew claimed that he should not have to share in losses because he had groomed more dogs than anyone. Matthew also claimed that although the partnership did not reference compensation for additional duties, he was entitled to compensation because of his excessive work. Beverly claimed that she should not have to share in losses because she contributed more capital than did either of the others. Wally claimed that he should not have to cover the losses because both Beverly and Matthew had been hiding the books from him. He demanded to inspect the books and also to a review and listing of all partnership assets and profit. Beverly and Matthew denied that Wally was entitled to a review of the books and stored them in a safe deposit to which only Beverly had a key. They claimed complete innocence of any wrongdoing. Is Wally entitled to inspect the books?
