6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“On the dissolution of a partnership by the withdrawal or retirement of a partner, the outgoing partner sustains no further relation to the remaining or continuing partners whereby they can exercise any authority binding on him, in the absence- of circumstances giving rise to estoppel. Thus, a partner is not personally hable for partnership debts where the partnership is dissolved before the inception of the debts, at least where notice of the dissolution is given to third parties who have dealings with the partnership.”
