2017 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes
Title 15 - CORPORATIONS AND UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS
Chapter 84 - General Partnerships
Section 8473 - Liability of person dissociated as partner to other persons
(a) General rule.--Except as provided in subsection (b), a person dissociated as a partner is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation.
(b) Exception.--A person that is dissociated as a partner is liable on a transaction entered into by the partnership after the dissociation only if:
(1) a partner would be liable on the transaction; and
(2) at the time the other party enters into the transaction:
(i) less than two years have passed since the dissociation; and
(ii) the other party does not have knowledge or notice of the dissociation and reasonably believes that the person is a partner.
(c) Constructive release by creditor.--A person dissociated as a partner is released from liability for a debt, obligation or other liability of the partnership if the partnership's creditor, with knowledge or notice of the person's dissociation but without the person's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of the debt, obligation or other liability. The release from liability under this subsection applies whether the liability arises directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, but only if the liability arises solely by reason of having been a partner.
