Effective January 1, 2010, Chapter 1779 is repealed and no longer governs partnerships. 2008 HB332.
A compromise or composition with an individual member of a partnership shall not discharge the other partners or impair the right of the creditor to proceed against the members of the partnership who have not been discharged. A partner so proceeded against may counterclaim against the creditor for any demand which could have been counterclaimed for had the suit been brought against all the individuals composing the partnership.
A compromise or discharge of an individual member of a partnership shall not prevent the other members thereof from availing themselves of any defense, except that they shall not set up the discharge of one individual partner as a discharge of the other partners unless it appears that all were intended to be discharged; but the discharge of such partner shall be deemed a payment to the creditor equal to the proportionate interest of the partner discharged in the partnership.
A compromise or composition by a member of a partnership with a creditor of such partnership does not affect the right of the other partners to call on the member who makes it for his ratable portion of such partnership debt.
