Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Companies, Considered as a Branch of the Law of Partnership, Vol. 2 Tun reasons for which, before the Partnership Act, 1890, came into operation, an ordinary partnership was held to be dissolved by the death, lunacy or bankruptcy of any one of its members, or by a transfer of his interest, or by his determination to retire, had no application to companies the shares in which are transferable, and the management of the concerns of which is entrusted by all the shareholders to directors. Nor was there any authority to the effect that companies with transferable shares were or could be dissolved by, or on the happening of, those events which were suficient to dissolve, or induce the Court to dissolve, an ordinary partnership. The death, bankruptcy or retirement of a shareholder dissolved his connection with the company (a), but did not dissolve the bond by which the remaining shareholders were held to each other (b). Some of the reasons which were sufficient to induce the Court to dissolve a partnership were, however, quite as applicable to companies as to ordinary firms, e.g., the impossibility of going on as contemplated (c).
