45 Rights where partnership dissolved for fraud or
misrepresentation
Where a partnership contract is rescinded on the ground of the
fraud or misrepresentation of one of the partners, a partner entitled
to rescind the contract is, without prejudice to any other right,
entitled:
(a) to a lien on, or right of retention of, the surplus of the
partnership assets, after satisfying the partnership liabilities for
any sum of money paid by the partner for the purchase of a
share in the partnership and for any capital contributed by the
partner;
(b) to stand in the place of the creditors of the firm for any
payments made by the partner in respect of the partnership
liabilities; and
(c) to be indemnified by the person guilty of the fraud or making
the representation against all the debts and liabilities of the
firm.
