9. X,Y, and Z are partners in a partnership which was dissolved by the *
withdrawal of X. Y who was notified by Z of X's withdrawal, entered into a new
transaction with W in the name of the partnership. Is the partnership liable to
W? Are X and Z liable to Y for their share of the liability? Explain your answer.

It depends: either yes or no.

Yes. According to Article 1833, each partner is liable to his co-partners for his share of any
liability created by any partner acting for the partnership as if the partnership had not been
dissolved unless, the dissolution being by the act of any partner, the acting partner had
knowledge of the dissolution. With that being said, the partnership is liable to W because Y
only had notice of the withdrawal, not knowledge.

No, because X and Z are only liable for their share in the liability of the partnership and not
to Y.
10. Assume the same partnership from the preceding number. X, acting for the *
partnership, bought a car from W. The car was being claimed by C. Y acquired
knowledge of the claim of C. Neither W nor Y informed X of the claim. C was
able to recover the car. Is W liable to the partnership under Article 1821?

It depends: either yes or no.

No, the partnership is not liable to W. Because partnership was desolve when x withdrawals
his share and y knows this before entering into contract with w. And they did not made any
contract so we can say that for w share partnership is not liable. Instead of partnership y
will be liable.

yes, x and z liable. To y for their share of the liability.

When partnership desolve that time every partnership set off their accounts and might be
they can become responsible for other partners while calculating their shares from
partnership. .
11. Assume the same partnership from the preceding number. The term of *
existence of the partnership expired. This notwithstanding, X enters into a
contract with W in the name of the partnership. Is the partnership liable to W?
What right, if any, is given to Y and Z?

(a) It depends; According to Article 1834, after dissolution, X can bind the partnership if it is:
(a) an act appropriate for winding up partnership affairs or completing transaction
unfinished at dissolution;
(b) by any transaction which would bind the partnership if dissolution had not taken place.

However, X cannot bind the partnership after dissolution if:

(a) the act is unlawful to carry on the business;

(b) the partner has become insolvent; (c) where the partner had no authority to wind up
partnership affairs except by a transaction mentioned in Article 1834, paragraph

If the partnership is liable to W under Article 1834, Y and Z are entitled to indemnity from X.
Y and Z may also acquire all the rights mentioned in Article 1834 about the power of a
partner to bind a dissolved partnership.
12. Assume the same partnership from the preceding number. The partnership *
was dissolved. Assume the following information: Partnership assets-
P320,000; Advances by X to the partnership- P20,000; Capital contribution of
each partner- P30,000; Liability of partnership to M- P150,000. Compute the
share of each partner in the profits.

Partnership Assets ₱320,000

Less: Liability of Partnership (₱150,000)
Less: Advances by X (₱20,000)
Less: Capital Contribution (₱90,000)
Total ` ₱60,000
Divided by: 3
Share of each partner ₱20,000

13. Using the same facts from the preceding number, suppose the liability of *
the partnership to W is P335,000; Y is indebted to C (separate creditor)-
P15,000; Z is indebted to D (separate creditor) - P10,000. Separate property of
Y and Z each amounts only to P20,000 and P10,000, respectively; and advance
by X to partnership- P30,000. Settle the accounts of the parties.

Partnership Assets ₱320,000

Less: Partnership liability to W (₱335,000)
Remaining Liability to W (₱15,000)
Divided by: 3
Personal liability of each partner
to W ₱5,000

Although Y and Z is liable to X for ₱10,000 each, separate creditors of Y and Z have
preference over separate property of Y and Z.

So, X gets only ₱5,000 from Y (₱20,000 -₱15,000).

Meanwhile, X gets nothing from Z (₱10,000- ₱10,000).
