Practice question
A partner's wrongful act in the ordinary course injures a nonpartner, satisfying Article 1822. An innocent co-partner argues that every partnership obligation must be merely pro rata and subsidiary under Article 1816. What is correct?
- Article 1816 automatically displaces all other provisions.
- Innocent partners are always immune from every partnership wrong.
- Only the firm name can be liable.
- Article 1824 expressly provides solidarity for matters chargeable under Article 1822, so the ordinary-contract rule cannot simply be transplanted.
- The injury becomes a voluntary contribution.
