BUSINESS LAW II QUESTIONS

I

A partnership is created by mere agreement of the parties , being a consensual contract and hence , the approval of the State is not necessary while a limited partnership is formed or created by two or more persons having as members one or more general partners and one or more limited partners who are only liable to the extent of the capital contributed by him for the contracts and obligations of the limited partnership . On the other hand , in to form a corporation something more is needed than mere agreement of the

incorporators . It is necessary to obtain special authority from the state in to incorporate and to be recognized as a legal entity . Thus , a corporation is created by operation of law

In terms management , the business and operations of a corporation is conducted by or vested in a board of directors or trustees (except in a close corporation ) such that a stockholder in his individual capacity or any number of stockholder cannot bind the corporation in its corporate capacity . On the other hand , each partner or member can act for the partnership . The general rule is that each partner is an agent of the partnership and his acts and contracts are binding thereon unless otherwise provided in the articles of partnership . In a limited partnership , however , the limited partner may not act , manage or conduct business for and on behalf of the partnership

In terms of its duration , a partnership (including a limited partnership ) may exist indefinitely under the articles of partnership which is known as a partnership at will . A corporation , on the other hand , can exist only for the years or period as provided by law which is usually not more than 50 years although extendible for another 50 years in any one instance
