How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reiterating that deferring accrual of claim, which delays commencement of limitations period, is distinct from tolling running of limitations once period has begun
- stating that judgment against partnership is not by itself a judgment against partner
- a later-enacted conflicting statute “eliminates any instructive or persuasive value those decisions may have once had”
- “As a result of the partnership’s statutorily confirmed status as a separate entity, a partnership’s acts are only its own, not a partner’s.”
- “As an independent entity, a partnership may enter into contracts in its own name, may own its own property, and may sue and be sued in its own name.”
- “Generally a cause of action accrues when facts come into existence that authorize a claimant to seek a judicial remedy, when a wrongful act causes some legal injury, or whenever one person may sue another.” (citation omitted)
