    2. There was clearly no dissolution. The agreement provided that the partnership may only be terminated “by mutual agreement”. Hence, Morrissey’s unilateral action (resignation) is insufficient to dissolve the partnership: Moss v Elphick. Section 26 of the Partnership Act (“PA”) is applicable only when the partnership was silent on the duration of the partnership. In this instance, the agreement was for the partnership to enure for the joint lives of the parties (unless terminated by mutual agreement). Section 32(1) (c) is also inapplicable since the parties had indicated that the partnership was to be determined by “mutual agreement”, hence subjecting it to a contrary intention. Thus there was no dissolution of the partnership…

This would help him understand what he is doing wrong and how he can improve to keep his job. When Pat was given notice of termination, he was not provided with a reason and was not put on the corrective action plan. This allows Pat to sue NewCorp for not abiding to the contract that was signed by both parties. Pat also has the right to sue for wrongful termination. In this legal case, NewCorp should approach Pat with an alternative dispute resolution. The ADR that should be used for this situation should be an arbitrator or work out a settlement. To avoid these types of liabilities, NewCorp should ensure their performance policies and fire at-will information is stated in their contracts and their employees are aware of the…
