Section 10A-8A-3.01 - Partner agent of partnership.
Subject to the effect of a statement of authority under Section 10A-8A-3.03:
(1) Each partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business or not for profit activity. An act of a partner, including the execution of an instrument in the partnership name, for apparently carrying on in the ordinary course the partnership business or not for profit activity, or business or not for profit activity of the kind carried on by the partnership, binds the partnership, unless the partner had no authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter and the person with whom the partner was dealing knew or had notice that the partner lacked authority.
(2) An act of a partner which is not apparently for carrying on in the ordinary course the partnership business or not for profit activity, or business or not for profit activity of the kind carried on by the partnership, binds the partnership only if the act was authorized by the other partners.
(Act 2018-125, §7.)
