Cpt law doubt

in a partnership, the admission of a new partner is possible without the consent of creditors before he joining as a partner.

consent of external parties is not required.....any partner can be admitted into the partnership but he'll not be liable for the charge of the creditors upon the firm as he joined after the date of the transaction.

But incase the new partner notifies the creditors as being liable to such charge, he will be liable thereafter and can be sued thereon. So he'll be able to sue to new partner having a right of guranteed sort of thing against him.

what does abstain mean??

restrict..

abstain = to hold oneself back voluntarily, to restrict, to not to do something.....

for future, i think you should goto google and search (define "your word"), you'll get the definition without having to open any site or visit any other link.
