Study Notes
Partnership Essentials
- A partnership must have a lawful object and be established for mutual benefit or interest.
- An unlawful partnership, upon judicial dissolution, results in profit confiscation for the State, as described by the Penal Code.
Legal Requirements for Partnerships
- A partnership capitalizing at least Php3,000 must be documented via a public instrument.
- This public instrument must include an inventory of contributed property, signed and attached.
- Recording with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is required for partnerships with capital of Php3,000 or more.
Immoveable Property Contributions
- Contributions of immovable property to a partnership necessitate:
- Documentation through a public instrument.
- Registration with the SEC.
- Failure to meet these requirements does not invalidate partnership liability toward third parties.
Partnership Types and Liabilities
- Partnerships can be classified as universal (covering all present property) or particular (specific interests).
- Partners can be general (broad liability) or limited (liability capped at contribution).
Duration Classifications
- Partnerships can be "at will" (no specific end date) or for a fixed term, allowing dissolution by mutual agreement or the will of any partner.
Classes of Partnerships
- Commercial or Trading: Focused on business transactions.
- Professional or Non-trading: Related to professional activities.
Types of Partners
- Capitalist: Contributes financial resources or property.
- Industrial: Supplies personal services and labor.
- General Partner: Liability extends beyond their investment.
- Limited Partner: Liability limited to capital contribution.
- Managing Partner: Responsible for operations.
- Silent and Dormant Partners: Do not engage in management and may be unknown to outsiders.
Rights and Property Ownership
- In a universal partnership, property contributed becomes common to all partners, along with profits.
- Future-acquired property through inheritance or legacy is typically excluded from accounting in the partnership's common fund, except for its fruits.
Urgency for Publicity
- Articles of partnership must be public to protect partners and inform third parties about the jurisdiction and limitations on rights.
Categories of Partnership Existence
- Partnerships can be secret (not publicly disclosed) or open/notorious (publicly acknowledged).
- Partnerships by estoppel may arise when parties act as if a partnership exists, despite a lack of formal agreement.
Ending a Partnership
- The partnership may be considered "continuing" if business operations persist after a partner's withdrawal.
In summary, understanding the fundamental principles governing partnerships, including legal requirements, classifications, types of partners, and liability, is essential for navigating business relationships effectively.
