BCL – Nov 2016 – L1 – Q4a – Alternative Forms and Constitutions of Business Organisations

Determine whether partners remained after notice of retirement under the Incorporated Private Partnership Act, 1962 (Act 152).

By a letter dated 18th February 2014, addressed to the Manager of their partnership firm, Kofi Nti informed the Management of his and Mrs. Obeng’s immediate retirement as partners. The Manager replied that their application was under consideration. However, by another letter dated 12th January 2015, Mr. Kofi Nti and Mrs. Obeng withdrew their letter dated 18th February 2014. The conduct of the remaining partners, however, showed that they considered the letter of 18th February 2014 to be of no effect, and continued the partnership accordingly. A dispute later arose and Jeff, one of the partners, obtained an order of the High Court directing Mr. Kofi Nti and Mrs. Obeng to submit themselves to arbitration in accordance with the partnership agreement. The arbitrator submitted to the court that by their letter dated 18th February 2014, Mr. Kofi Nti and Mrs. Obeng ceased as from that date to be partners as the said letter could not be recalled.

Required:
Explain whether by the provisions of the Incorporated Private Partnership Act, 1962 (Act 152), Mr. Kofi Nti and Mrs. Obeng remain partners in the firm after their letters of 18th February 2014 and 12th January 2015.
