Art, 1829 - Winding up of affairs of partnership
Since it is the partnership, as a separate and distinct entity, that must refund the shares of the partners,
the amount to be refunded is necessarily limited to its total resources. In other words, it can only pay
out what it has in its coffers, which consists of all its assets. However, before the partners can be paid
their shares, the creditors of the partnership must first be compensated. After all the creditors have
been paid, whatever is left of the partnership assets becomes available for the payment of the partners’
shares.
