6. What are the grounds for a judicial dissolution of a partnership upon the application of a partner?

 Article 1831. On application by or for a partner the court shall decree a dissolution whenever:
 A partner has been declared insane in any judicial proceeding or is shown to be of
unsound mind
 A partner becomes in any other way incapable of performing his part of the partnership
contract
 A partner has been guilty of such conduct as tends to affect prejudicially the carrying on
of the business
 A partner willfully or persistently commits a breach of the partnership agreement, or
otherwise so conducts himself in matters relating to the partnership business that it is
not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in partnership with him
 The business of the partnership can only be carried on at a loss
 Other circumstances render a dissolution equitable.
 On the application of the purchaser of a partner's interest under article 1813 or 1814:
 After the termination of the specified term or particular undertaking
 At any time if the partnership was a partnership at will when the interest was assigned
or when the charging order was issued.

7. If a purchaser of a partner’s interest who applies for judicial dissolution of the partnership, within
what time shall he do so?

 Article 1813. In case of a dissolution of the partnership, the assignee is entitled to receive his
assignor's interest and may require an account from the date only of the last account agreed to
by all the partners.

8. Upon the dissolution, can a partner still act for the partnership? Explain.

 Article 1832. Except so far as may be necessary to wind up partnership affairs or to complete
transactions begun but not then finished, dissolution terminates all authority of any partner to
act for the partnership:
 With respect to the partners, (a)
 When the dissolution is not by the act, insolvency or death of a partner
 When the dissolution is by such act, insolvency or death of a partner, in cases
where article 1833 so requires
 With respect to persons not partners, as declared in article 1834.

Upon dissolution, the partnership ceases to be a going concern and the partner's power
of representation is limited only to activities incidental to the winding-up or completion
of transactions begun but not finished.

9. Under what cases may a partner bind the other partners or the partnership on a new contract
entered into by the partner after dissolution of the partnership?

 Article 1832. The authority of any partner to bind the partnership by means of a new contract
shall be terminated immediately if the dissolution is not caused by an act, insolvency or death of
the partner.
 Article 1833. When the dissolution is by such act, insolvency, or death, the termination of the
authority varies depending as to whether or not partner has knowledge or notification of
dissolution.

10. Is the partnership bound should a third person enters into a new contract with the partnership after
the dissolution of the partnership?

 With the respect to third persons (Article 1834), the partnership is generally bound by the new
contract although the authority of the acting partner as it affects his co-partners is already
deemed terminated under Articles 1832 and 1833. In such a case, however, the innocent
partners can always recover from the acting partner.
