Item 1

 
actual or purported partnership.__If the representation, either by
the purported partner or by a person with the purported partner's
consent, is made in a public manner, the purported partner is
liable to a person who relies upon the purported partnership even
if the purported partner is not aware of being held out as a
partner to the claimant.__If partnership liability results, the
purported partner is liable with respect to that liability as if
the purported partner were a partner.__If no partnership liability
results, the purported partner is liable with respect to that
liability jointly and severally with any other person consenting to
the representation.

 
2.__Purported partner as agent.__If a person is thus
represented to be a partner in an existing partnership, or with
one or more persons not partners, the purported partner is an
agent of persons consenting to the representation to bind them to
the same extent and in the same manner as if the purported
partner were a partner, with respect to persons who enter into
transactions in reliance upon the representation.__If all of the
partners of the existing partnership consent to the
representation, a partnership act or obligation results.__If
fewer than all of the partners of the existing partnership
consent to the representation, the person acting and the partners
consenting to the representation are jointly and severally
liable.

 
3.__Liability of dissociated partner.__A person does not
continue to be liable as a partner merely because of a failure to
file a statement of dissociation.

 
4.__Nonpartners not liable as partners.__Except as otherwise
provided in subsections 1 and 2, persons who are not partners as
to each other are not liable as partners to other persons.
