CONTEMPORARY LAWS AND REGULATIONS ON PARTNERSHIP. baixar livro de graça

This book is written primarily for business practitioners, legal professionals, estate surveyors, government agencies, corporate law researchers, and students in higher institutions, while also being useful to the general public. It serves as a research-based examination of contemporary legal provisions and regulations governing partnerships.

The legal framework for partnerships in Nigeria has undergone significant changes with the introduction of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 (CAMA 2020), which has substantially transformed how partnership businesses are regulated. While CAMA 2020 is now the principal legislation guiding partnerships, the book also references other relevant laws that affect partnerships directly or indirectly, including the Business Facilitation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023. These supporting legislations are incorporated into the discussion to provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal environment.

Historically, partnership law in Nigeria was largely influenced by the Partnership Act 1890 and the Limited Partnerships Act 1907. Many state partnership laws were modeled after the 1890 Act. However, these provisions have now been integrated into CAMA 2020, particularly through Section 808 and Sections 795–810, making the modern framework applicable nationwide.

The book is structured across fourteen chapters. The first chapter introduces the legal foundations governing partnerships, including the role of the Constitution, hierarchy of courts, and the relevance of case law and foreign decisions. Chapter two defines partnerships from both common law and statutory perspectives and explains how partnerships are formed. Chapter three examines who can legally become partners, including adults, minors, corporations, and other categories.

Chapter four discusses firm names and the legal consequences of using incorrect, restricted, or prohibited names under both common law and CAMA 2020. Chapter five explores different forms of business associations and their sources of finance, while chapter six compares partnerships with registered companies, highlighting their similarities and differences.

Chapter seven analyzes the agency role of partners when dealing with third parties and the liabilities that may arise. Chapter eight focuses on the relationship among partners, emphasizing the principle of good faith, particularly under Section 24 of the Partnership Act 1890. Chapter nine examines the various methods through which partnerships may be dissolved.

Chapter ten discusses broader legal principles that apply across business associations, such as locus standi, jurisdiction, administrative proceedings, and pre-action notices. Chapter eleven focuses on limited partnerships, while chapter twelve addresses the registration of business names and the legal procedures involved in signing legal processes.

Chapter thirteen provides an extensive discussion on Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), a relatively new concept introduced under CAMA 2020. Since LLPs are incorporated entities, many principles that apply to companies also apply to them. The final chapter highlights Schedule 15 of CAMA as it relates to partnerships.

Overall, the book examines partnership law using both theoretical (“a priori”) and practical (“a posteriori”) perspectives, presenting a detailed guide to the modern legal framework governing partnerships in Nigeria.
