35 Rights of assignee of share in partnership
(1) An assignment by a partner of his or her share in the partnership,
either absolute or by way of mortgage or redeemable charge, does
not, as against the other partners, entitle the assignee, while the
partnership continues:
(a) to interfere in the management or administration of the
partnership business or affairs;
(b) to require any accounts of the partnership transactions; or
(c) to inspect the partnership books.
(2) An assignee:
(a) is entitled to receive the share of profits to which the assigning
partner would otherwise be entitled; and
(b) must accept the account of profits agreed to by the partners.
(3) In the case of a dissolution of a partnership, whether as respects all
the partners or an assigning partner, the assignee is entitled:
(a) to receive the share of the partnership assets to which the
assigning partner is entitled as between the partner and the
other partners; and
(b) for the purpose of ascertaining that share, to an account as
from the date of the dissolution.
(4) This section does not apply to an incorporated limited partnership.
