Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a partnership, partners have joint and several liability for the actions of any partner acting within the scope of the partnership's business. This means that each partner is individually liable for the full amount of the damages, not just a portion based on their capital contributions. Therefore, the other partners in this case would also have joint and several liability for the $6,000 in damages caused by Nolan's negligence.
