Title 9A - Maryland Revised Uniform Partnership Act
Subtitle 7 - Partner's Dissociation When Business Not Wound Up
§ 9A-703. Dissociated partner's liability to other persons

MD Corp & Assn Code § 9A-703 (2016) What's This?

(a) Effect of dissociation on liabilities. -- A partner's dissociation does not of itself discharge the partner's liability for a partnership obligation incurred before dissociation. A dissociated partner is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation, except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this section.

(b) Liability after dissociation. -- A partner who dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business is liable as a partner to the other party in a transaction entered into by the partnership, or a surviving partnership under Subtitle 9 of this title, within 2 years after the partner's dissociation, only if the obligation is one for which the partner is liable under § 9A-306 of this title and at the time of entering into the transaction the other party:

(1) Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner;

(2) Did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and

(3) Is not deemed to have had knowledge under § 9A-303(e) of this title or notice under § 9A-704(c) of this subtitle.

(c) Release from liability by consent. -- By agreement with the partnership creditor and the partners continuing the business, a dissociated partner may be released from liability for a partnership obligation.

(d) Release from liability by material alteration of obligation. -- A dissociated partner is released from liability for a partnership obligation if a partnership creditor, with notice of the partner's dissociation but without the partner's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of a partnership obligation.
