The rule is that partners must observe the utmost good faith towards each other in all their transactions. “ ‘The same rules and tests are to be applied to the conduct of partners as are ordinarily applicable to that of trustees and agents.’ 22 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law (2d ed.), p. 115. “ ‘A sale by one partner to another of his partnership interest will not be sustained unless made for a fair consideration and upon full disclosure by the vendee to the vendor of whatever information he has as to the value of such property; and concealment of a material fact by the party whose duty it is to disclose it is sufficient to annul the compact.’ 22 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law (2d ed.), p. 105. “See, also, Caldwell v. Davis, 10 Colo. 481 , 15 Pac. 696 , 3 Am. St. 599; Jennings v. Rickard, 10 Colo. 395 , 15 Pac. 677 ; Wright v. Duke, 36 N. Y. Supp. 853 . It was the duty of the respondent to fully inform the appellant of his contract with Carroll, and of the fact that Carroll would, within the ninety days, take up the option and pay the purchase price of $35,000. He did not do so, but deceived the appellant into the belief that Carroll would be unable to take the property.””
