    Hi Sir,

    Can you please explain “A person who is admitted as a partner into an existing firm does not thereby become liable to the creditors of the firm for anything before he become a partner.” which is under S19.
    Is it means the incoming partners is not liable for the firm’s previous debts unless there have a novation of partnership?

    Advance thanks to you.

    That’s exactly what it means, yes

    Equally, a retiring partner remains liable for the debts of the firm incurred before s/he retired … unless there is a contract of novation

    OK?
