31 Continuance of partnership on old terms
(1) Where a partnership entered into for a fixed term is continued after
the term expires, and without any express new agreement, the
rights and duties of the partners remain the same as they were at
the expiration of the term, so far as is consistent with the incidents
of a partnership at will.
(2) A continuance of the business by the partners or those partners as
habitually acted as partners during the term, without any settlement
or liquidation of the partnership affairs, is presumed to be a
continuance of the partnership.
(3) This section does not apply to an incorporated limited partnership.
