through inheritance, donation or through other means without the effort of the partners cannot be
considered part of the partnership property. In the case mentioned above, the salary of Bebe as a
school nurse was received through his exercise of her industry as a school nurse. Thus, the same

the profits but shall not be liable for losses.

Answer A: Under Article 1803, if there was no agreement regarding to be a managing partner,
all partners are considered agents and whatever any of them may do, even without the approval
of the others, are binding on the partnership.
In this case, because there was NO agreement as to who will manage the partnership, all of them
will be considered as managing partners and any act of each of them shall bind the partnership.
The fact that one of the partners has controlling interest does not entitle him to become the
managing partner of the firm absent any agreement between the partners.

22. SHEEESH, a partnership engaged in the management of professional teams is composed of

the following partners with their capital contributions: Sinatraa, P10,000.00, Hiko. P20,000.00;
Edward, P25,000.00; Earl, P30,000.00; Ethan, P40,000.00; Subroza, P150,000.00; and Hazed,
P350,000.00. There was no agreement among the partners as to who shall be the manager.
Assume that Sinatraa desires to scout TenZ from Cloud 9, but Ethan opposes it. A voting took
place and Hiko, Edward and Earl sided with Sinatraa, while Subroza and Hazed sided with Ethan.
a. The group of Ethan, Subroza and Hazed will prevail because they own the controlling
interest.
b. The conflict should be resolved by a unanimous vote among the partners.
c. The group of Sinatraa, Hiko, Edward and Earl will prevail because they constitute the
majority.
d. None will prevail because no one was appointed as manager.

Answer C: Under Article 1803, all partners are considered an agent of the partnership since there
is no agreement appointing a partner as a managing partner. On the other hand, Article 1801
states that in case 2 or more partners were entrusted to manage the partnership without
specification as to their respective function, each one of the partners can bind the partnership in
any act for the administration of the partnership. And if any one of the managing partners opposes,
then, the decision of the majority of the managing partners shall prevail WITHOUT considering
their respective interest.
As such, the group of Sinatraa will prevail since they constitute the majority of the managing
partners.

b. Only statement II is true.
c. Both statements are true.
d. Both statements are false.

Answer B: Under Article 1804, every partner may associate another person with him in his share
with or without the consent of the other partners which makes the second statement true. But, the
associate shall not be admitted into the partnership immediately without the consent of all the
other partners even if the partner having an associate should be a manager. The first statement is
false because it contradicts the second sentence of this paragraph.

c. The assignee is entitled to receive the assignor-partner’s interest in the profits.

I. A partner’s right in specific partnership property may be attached by his separate creditors.

In your evaluation of the foregoing statements:
a. Both statements are true.
b. Only statement I is true.
c. Only statement II is true.
d. Both statements are false.

Answer D: Both statements are false because it opposes the statement under Article 1811. A

assignable. This is considering that the partnership properties are owned by the partnership and
NOT by the individual partners.

enter into a separate obligation. Once they have settled liability with 3rd person, the industrial
partner may ask for reimbursement from capitalist partners proportionately, based on the shares.

made liable. If the partner was not acting in the ordinary course of business and the act was

agreement.
d. Camille, who has acted in good faith, expressly stated her will to dissolve the partnership she
belongs in.

Answer D: Camille who has acted in good faith and then decided to dissolve the partnership is an
exemplification of Article 1830. Elaborately, Article 1830 states that dissolution of a partnership
may be caused by the express will of any partner, who must act in good faith, when no definite
term or particular undertaking is specified. Meanwhile, the situations of Dumbie, Aurora, Jayzam
are grounds for dissolution by decree of the court, according to Article 1831, for the reason that
Dumbie is insane, Aurora is paralyzed, and Jayzam persistently breaches the partnership
agreement.

33. According to Article 1830, dissolution may be caused without violation of the agreement

c. First statement is true; Second statement is false

act in good faith.

34. Which of the following will not cause the automatic dissolution of a general partnership?
a. Death of any partner
b. Termination of the definite term of the partnership
c. Incapability of a partner performing his part
d. Civil interdiction of a partner

Answer C: Article 1830 enumerated the grounds for the automatic dissolution of the partnership.
It means that in the grounds stated therein, the partnership will be automatically dissolved even
without a court order. Included in the enumeration therein is A, B and D. On the other hand,
Article 1831 provides for the dissolution of the partnership upon application and decree by the
court. The ground stated therein will NOT automatically dissolve the partnership. There is still
a need for a petition for dissolution and actual court order dissolving the partnership before the
partnership can be considered dissolved on those grounds. The incapability of a partner
performing his part of the partnership contract is one of those grounds enumerated therein.

35. A partnership is dissolved by the death of a partner. The dissolution of the partnership was
published in a newspaper of general circulation. Toni, a previous creditor, and Rob, a new creditor,
both transacted new business with the partnership after dissolution, but neither of them read the
publication of the firm’s dissolution nor learned of it in some other way. Who is deemed to have
knowledge of the dissolution of the partnership?
a. Rob only
b. Toni only
c. Both Toni and Rob
d. Neither Toni nor Rob because neither one has come to learn of the dissolution of the
partnership

Answer A: Since Toni is a previous creditor of the partnership and having no knowledge of the
dissolution, she must be entitled to special attention; hence, she must be specially notified of the
dissolution. The mere publication of the dissolution is not a notice to her. Without the presence of
a special notification from the partnership, Toni would have assumed that the partnership still
continues to exist. On the other hand, Rob, a new creditor and also having no knowledge of the
dissolution, shall not be entitled to any special attention; hence, the mere publication of the
dissolution is a constructive notice to Rob although he had not read it. The fact that the partnership
had published their dissolution in a newspaper, they would have assumed that Rob knows that the
partnership is now dissolved. Therefore, Rob is deemed to have knowledge of the dissolution of
the partnership.
The foregoing is based on Article 1834. In case the creditor fall under par 2(a) of the article stating
that after dissolution, a partner can bind the partnership, except by any transaction which would
bind the partnership if dissolution had not taken place, provided the other party to the transaction
had extended credit to the partnership prior to dissolution and had no knowledge or notice of the
dissolution (when the creditor has a prior dealing/s with the partnership), the partners will not be
liable up to the extent of their personal property in case the partnership will become insolvent if
such partner had been, prior to dissolution: (1) Unknown as a partner to the person with whom
the contract is made; or (2) So far unknown and inactive in partnership affairs that the business
reputation of the partnership could not be said to have been in any degree due to his connection
with it.

36. Dambie, Nica and Jayzam are partners in a law firm. Jayzam was appointed as judge of the
Regional Trial Court. Such appointment:
a. Prohibits the inclusion of the name of Jayzam in the firm name without dissolving the
partnership.
b. Results in the dissolution of partnership
c. Suspends the participation of Jayzam in the management of the firm without causing the
dissolution of the partnership.
 d. Merely requires the disclosure of Jayzam’s appointment to the court without dissolving the
partnership.

Answer B: As provided in Article 1831 of the Civil Code, one of the applications by or partner
the court shall decree a dissolution whenever a partner becomes incapable of performing his part
of the partnership contract. This tells us that Dambie, Nica and Jayzam are partners in a law firm.
Subsequently, Jayzam was appointed as the judge of the Regional Trial Court. Therefore, Jayzam
will not be given authority by their head of office to engage in their law firm. Thus, in this case,
Jayzam is incapable of performing his part of the partnership contract.

37. Zeinab, Camille, Awra and Boknoy entered into a contract of partnership. One of their
stipulations in the contract, among others, is the expulsion of any partner who incurred 14 days in

to Boknoy?
a. Boknoy will be in good faith.
b. Boknoy will be criminally liable.
c. Boknoy will be expelled in bad faith, and can claim damages.

Answer C: Article 1830. Dissolution is caused:

(1) without the violation of the agreement between the partners;
xxx
(d) by the expulsion of any partner from the business bona fide in accordance with such a
power conferred by the agreement between the partners;
If Boknoy violated their agreement, then he can be expelled and can claim damages. According to
the latter, expulsion must be in good faith.

38. Jayzam and Camille have been partners for more than 5 years in their milktea business. At the
start of the sixth year, Jayzam assigned his interest in the partnership to Nica, but Camille objected
on the grounds that she did not want Nica to be her partner.
a. Jayzam and Camille continue to be partners despite Jayzam’s conveyance of his interest to
Nica.
 b. The conveyance by Jayzam of his interest in the partnership to Nica entitled the latter ro
inspect the books, and participate in the management of the partnership.
c. Nica will automatically become a partner of Camille when Jayzam conveyed his interest to
her.
d. The partnership between Jayzam and Camille was automatically dissolved when Jayzam
conveyed his interest to Nica.
Answer A: Article 1813 of the Civil Code provides as follows:
A conveyance by a partner of his whole interest in the partnership does not of itself dissolve the
partnership, or, as against the other partners in the absence of agreement, entitle the assignee,
during the continuance of the partnership, to interfere in the management or administration of the
partnership business or affairs, or to require any information or account of partnership
transactions, or to inspect the partnership books; but it merely entitles the assignee to receive in
accordance with his contract the profits to which the assigning partner would otherwise be
entitled. However, in case of fraud in the management of the partnership, the assignee may avail
himself of the usual remedies.
In case of a dissolution of the partnership, the assignee is entitled to receive his assignor’s interest
and may require an account from the date only of the last account agreed to by all the partners.

39. In the following cases, creditors of the dissolved partnership are also creditors of the person or
partnership continuing the business:
These statements are presented to you:
Statement I: When any new partner is admitted into an existing partnership, or when any partner
retires and assigns (or the representative of the deceased partner assigns) his rights in partnership
property to two or more of the partners, or to one or more of the partners and one or more third
persons, if the business is continued with a liquidation of the partnership affairs;
Statement II: When all but one partner retire and assign (or the representative of a deceased
partner assigns) their rights in partnership property to the remaining partner, who continues the
business without liquidation of partnership affairs, either alone or with others.
In your evaluation of the foregoing statements:
a. Both statements are false
b. Statement I is true; Statement II is false
c. Both statements are true
d. Statement I is false; Statement II is true
Answer D: Article 1840 states that when any new partner is admitted into an existing partnership,
or when any partner retires and assigns (or the representative of the deceased partner assigns)
his rights in partnership property to two or more of the partners, or to one or more of the partners
and one or more third persons, if the business is continued without a liquidation of the partnership
affairs.
Therefore, statement I is false; Statement II is true.

40. The partnership of Elijah, Azrael, and Damon was dissolved due to the death of Damon. Rafael
is a partnership creditor prior to the dissolution, while Josiah is the private creditor of Damon. Is

b. No, the separate property of Damon is not liable to Rafael.
c. Yes, the separate property of Damon is liable to Rafael.
d. No, since the death of Damon, his separate liability to Josiah no longer exists as well as his

the existing liability of any partner.
Also, the individual property of a deceased partner shall be liable for all obligations of the
partnership incurred while he was a partner, but subject to the prior payment of his separate debts
as expressly stated in the last paragraph of Article 1835.

41. Liabilities of the partnership shall rank in order of payment:

I: Those owing to partners in respect of profits;

In your evaluation of the foregoing statements:
a. I, II, III, IV
b. III, II, IV, I
 c. IV, I, III, II
d. II, IV, III, I

Answer B: Under Article 1839 liabilities of the partnership shall rank in order of payment.
I. Those owing to partnership creditors other than partners;
II. Those owing to partners (e.g., the partner or partners who gave a loan to the
partnership);
III. Those owing to partners in respect of capital; and
Note: An industrial partner is not entitled to participate in the capital because he did not contribute
money or property or both.
IV. Those owing to partners in respect of profits.
Note: An industrial partner is entitled to participate in the profits.

42. Who are the persons authorized to wind up a partnership?

a. The legal representative of the last surviving partner, not insolvent.
b. All the partners who have not wrongfully dissolved the partnership.

d. All of the above

Answer D: Article 1836 states that unless otherwise agreed, the partners who have not wrongfully
dissolved the partnership or the legal representative of the last surviving partner, not insolvent,
has the right to wind up the partnership affairs, provided, however, that any partner, his legal

partners.
Determine the rights of the partners when dissolution is not in contravention of agreement?
a. I and III
b. II and III
c. I and IV
d. II and IV

Answer C: According to Article 1837, when dissolution is caused in any way, except in
contravention of the partnership agreement, each partner, as against his co-partners and all
persons claiming through them in respect of their interests in the partnership, unless otherwise
agreed, may have the partnership property applied to discharge its liabilities, and the surplus
applied to pay in cash the net amount owing to the respective partners. Hence, statements I and
IV are both the rights of the partners when dissolution is not in contravention of agreement.

44. A, B, C and D intended to form a limited partnership, thus, they have signed and sworn to a
certificate and submitted such to the office of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They have
included every information required to form a limited partnership in their certificate, but they had
failed to add the word "Limited" into the name of their partnership. Because of this, what will then
happen to their partnership?
a. This would make the partnership voidable.
b. This would make the partnership a general partnership.
c. This would make the partnership void.
d. None of the above.

Answer B: Article 1844 of the Civil Code requires partners to sign and swore to a certificate that
should state the required requisites provided by the said article, and should be submitted to the

Statement II also true.

47. A limited partner may have the partnership dissolved and its affairs wound up when;
a. He rightfully and successfully demands his return of his contribution; or

c. Both A and B are correct
d. None of the above

Answer B: If a corporation would enter into a contract of partnership, the corporation would be
bound by the acts of those who are not its duly appointed and authorized agents and officers, and
it would be entirely inconsistent with the policy of the law that the corporation shall manage its
own affairs separately and exclusively.
The corporations may have no power to enter into a partnership as a general rule but there are a
couple of exceptions that the SEC allows for the corporations to enter into partnerships with other
corporations and individuals provided that:
1. The authority to enter into partnership relation is expressly conferred by the Charter or
the AOI and the nature of the business venture to be undertaken by the partnership is in line with
the business authorized by the charter or the AOI. (SEC Opinions, Feb. 29, 1980, Dec. 1, 1993,
and Feb. 23, 1994.)
2. The partnership must be a limited partnership and the corporation must be a limited
partner.
3. If it is a foreign corporation, it must obtain a license to transact business in the country.

the corporation created is called de facto corporation. Sec. 19. De Facto Corporation, provides a
clear definition and also states the requisites for a corporation to be a de facto. The case above
falls under the second requisite of de facto corporation which is the bona fide attempt in good
faith to incorporate under such law which also states that the above may be considered as
inadvertent or minor defects or errors which can be excused to prevent injustice.

to vote through such modes may be exercised in corporations vested with public interest.
a. Both statements are true
b. Only statement I is true
c. Only Statement II is true
d. Both statements are false

Answer B: Republic Act No. 11232 under section 24 states that immediately after their election,

And no one shall act as president and secretary or as president and treasurer at the same time,
unless otherwise allowed in this Code. Hence, the officers shall manage the corporation and
perform such duties as may be provided in the bylaws and/or as resolved by the board of directors.
Furthermore, statement II is false because RA No. 11232 under section 23 states that the
stockholders or members may vote through remote communication or in absentia when so

as stated in the articles of incorporation shall constitute a quorum to transact corporate business,
