42 Continuing authority of partners for purposes of winding up
(1) After the dissolution of a partnership, the authority of a partner to
bind the firm and the other rights and obligations of the partners
continue notwithstanding the dissolution so far as is necessary to
wind up the affairs of the partnership and to complete transactions
begun but not finished at the time of the dissolution, but not
otherwise.
(2) A firm is in no case bound by the acts of a partner who has become
bankrupt but this subsection does not affect the liability of a person
who has after the bankruptcy represented himself or herself or
knowingly permitted himself or herself to be represented as a
partner of the bankrupt.
