Angie, Chloe, and Michele Carry on Business in Partnership as Landscape

Angie, Chloe, and Michele carry on business in partnership as landscape gardeners. Angie purchased a set of patio furniture on credit for her personal use from a firm where the partnership purchased most of its equipment. Angie failed to pay for the goods, and the equipment supplier charged the purchase of the furniture to the partnership, as the goods had been delivered to the partnership's place of business. If the goods were not purchased in the ordinary course of partnership business, and purchased in Angie's name only, the partnership would be liable, because the partnership is liable for the personal debts of the partner.
