The Issue Of Partnerships and Legal Personality in England and Wales

Mehr zum Buch

The essay explores the implications of English partnership law, specifically the absence of legal personality for partnerships in England and Wales. This unique characteristic means that partnerships are unincorporated associations, leading to their dissolution upon a partner's departure or death. The discussion highlights the limitations that arise from this status, such as the inability to hold property or enter contracts, contrasting this with partnerships in other jurisdictions like the EU or Scotland, which have distinct legal identities and can acquire rights and obligations.
