Suits between co-partners
Full Text
This Order shall apply to suits between a firm and one or more of the partners therein and to suits between firms having one or more partners in common; but no execution shall be issued in such suits except by leave of the Court, and, on an application for leave to issue such execution, all such accounts and inquiries may be directed to be taken and made and directions given as may be just.
Plain English Summary
Extends Order XXX to internal suits between a firm and its partners, or between firms sharing common partners, while mandating that execution of any decree in such internal litigations requires prior leave of the court and equitable accounting.
Key Legal Elements
- Internal Litigation Scope: Firm vs. Partner, or Firm A vs. Firm B having common partners.
- Mandatory Judicial Leave for Execution: Execution cannot issue automatically.
- Equitable Account Balancing: Court will direct full partnership accounting before permitting execution against a co-partner.
Practical Note
Preventing Premature Execution Between Common Partners: Where partner 'A' obtains a money decree against Firm 'X' in which 'A' is also a partner, 'A' cannot simply attach the assets of co-partner 'B'. Co-partner 'B' should oppose execution under Rule 9, insisting that no execution can issue without court leave and until the overall partnership accounts and capital contributions are fully adjusted.
