Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a partnership, each partner is jointly liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership. This means that if a plaintiff wants to pursue a claim against the partnership, they must name all of the partners as defendants in the lawsuit in order to hold them jointly liable. If the plaintiff only names one or some of the partners, they may not be able to recover the full amount of their claim. Therefore, the correct answer is B) joint liability.

A Plaintiff Must Name the Partnership and All of the Partners
