ANNOTATION

Having determined that a partnership exists, the right to an accounting necessarily follows. Roberts v. Roberts, 113 Colo. 128, 155 P.2d 155 (1945).

But no right to receivership. A partner has a right to an accounting, a right to a dissolution, the right to contribution, and various rights on dissolution, but nowhere does the uniform act provide that even a bona fide partner has a right to receivership for property that he says belongs to the firm. Mann v. Friden, 132 Colo. 273, 287 P.2d 961 (1955).

No right to derivative action, absent exceptional circumstances. Adams v. Land Servs., Inc., 194 P.3d 429 (Colo. App. 2008).
