Which one of the following is not within the scope of Implied Authority of a partner?

The correct answer is
The act of acquiring immovable property on behalf of the firm

Understanding Partner Implied Authority Scope

Implied authority allows a partner to perform acts reasonably necessary or customary for carrying on the partnership's business. These acts bind the firm.

Acts Within Implied Authority

  • Option 1: An act done to conduct the specific type of business the firm engages in falls under implied authority.
  • Option 2: Performing actions in the standard, usual manner for the firm's business operations is part of implied authority.
  • Option 4: Acting in the firm's name or in a way that clearly indicates the intention to legally bind the partnership is crucial for implied authority.

Act Outside Implied Authority

Option 3: The act of acquiring immovable property (like land or buildings) on behalf of the firm is generally considered an extraordinary act. It typically requires express authorization from all partners, not just implied authority, as it involves significant commitment and is not usually part of the 'usual way' of conducting business.

Therefore, acquiring immovable property is not within the scope of a partner's implied authority.
