I. FACTS:
After Jesus Jose withdrew from the partnership in January 1987, his
capital contribution of P250,000 was refunded to him in cash by agreement
of the partners. In the same month, without prior knowledge of respondents,
petitioners closed down the restaurant, allegedly because of increased
rental. The restaurant furniture and equipment were deposited in the
respondents’ house for storage.
II. ISSUE: W/N petitioners are liable to respondents for the latter’s share in
the partnership.
III. RULING:
I. FACTS:
Alarilla was able to encash the first three checks but failed to encash
the last check. Hence, Alarilla filed an Information for violation of BP 22
against Idos. As defense, Idos claimed that they were still in the process of
winding up the affairs of the partnership and he issued the check merely to
evidence the proportionate share of Alarilla in the partnership assets upon its
dissolution.
III. RULING:
NO. Under the law, dissolution does not automatically result in the
termination of the legal personality of the partnership, nor the relations of
the partners among themselves who remain as co-partners until the
partnership is terminated and winding up is completed.
