Loss sharing in a Partnership firm

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

In a partnership firm, partners are generally liable for the firm's debts and losses according to their share. If a partner cannot cover their share of the losses from their business capital, creditors may pursue their personal assets, including property, to settle the outstanding debts. Courts can indeed order the seizure and sale of personal assets to repay creditors.

Please help me regarding this matter.

05 June 2023 Payment liability lies over partner/s, how it is paid depends upon the defaulters.
Courts in such cases, have ordered to acquire the property/ies of defaulters to repay the appellants.
