Abstract

[Extract] Every partner is an agent of the firm and of the other partners for the purposes of the business of the partnership.1 That is, every partner has 'actual authority' to act for those purposes. Accordingly, a partner's acts beyond that business will not bind the firm or the other partners.2 However, subject to certain qualifications,3 partners also have apparent (or ostensible) authority to do any act for carrying on, in the usual way,4 business of the kind5 carried on by the partnership and those acts may also bind the firm and the other partners.6 A partner's actual authority to act as an agent of the firm and of the other partners may be negated or qualified by contrary agreement between the partners.7 However, such an agreement between the partners does not affect dealings with others where a partner acts Page 117 with the apparent authority of the firm.8 Conversely, where all the partners authorise a partner to act outside the scope of the partnership business, all the partners will be bound by an act pursuant to the authorisation.
