• 66 Ill. 402

Syllabus

<p>1. Pabthbbship—grounds for dissolving. It is not for every act of misconduct on the part of one partner that a court of equity, at the instance of the other, will dissolve the partnership and close up the affairs of the company. To justify such an extraordinary interposition, a strong and clear case must be made out, of positive and meditated abuse. For minor misconduct or grievances, involving no permanent mischief, a court of equity will ordinarily go no further than to act upon the faulty partner by way of an injunction. The fact of loss occurring to the firm through mere error of judgment of the partner, is not sufficient cause for a dissolution of the partnership.</p>
