Representation of partnership affairs by partner

An admission or representation made by any partner concerning partnership affairs within the scope of his authority is evidence against the partnership. (Code 1981, § 14-8-11, enacted by Ga. L. 1984, p. 1439, § 1.) COMMENT Note to Uniform Partnership Act This section states the extent to which partners’ admissions and representations are evidence against the partnership. 884 14-8-12 Prior Georgia Law There were no comparable provisions. Prior O.C.G.A. § 14-8-61 (general scope of partners’ authority) is generally consistent. This section accords with the general rule stated in Ward-Truitt Co. v. Nicholson, 23 Ga. App. 672, 99 S.E. 153 (1919). Official UPA This section is the same as the official version except that the words ‘‘as conferred by this act’’ following ‘‘authority’’ have been deleted to clarify that the Act does not confer authority, but merely provides rules for determining what acts are authorized. This section is identical to the Florida version of § 11, Fla. Stat. Ann. § 620. (Harrison, 1977), and consistent with the Texas version of § 11, Tex. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 6132b, § 11 (Vernon, 1970), which substitutes ‘‘defined’’ for ‘‘conferred.’’ Cross-References Authority of partners: §§ 14-8-9, 14-8-10.1 and 14-8-18(8). Binding effect of non-partner admissions: § 14-8-4(c) (law of agency applies).
