to know what they are doing
Right of all partners in a partnership to act as agents for the normal business operations of the partnership, and their responsibility for their partners' business related (but not personal) actions.
A general partnership is one which partners share equally in both responsibility and liability. This is different from the limited liability partnership.
Unlimited liability in a partnership means that partners are personally responsible for all debts and obligations of the business. This can impact their financial responsibility because they may have to use their personal assets to cover any losses or debts incurred by the partnership. It is important for partners to understand this risk before entering into a partnership agreement.
The doctors and partners likely have a general partnership. In a general partnership, all partners share equal responsibility for the management of the business and its liabilities; however, individual partners are not liable for the malpractice of another partner. This means that while the misdiagnosing doctor is personally liable for her mistake, her partners are not held accountable for her actions.
A general partnership differs from a limited partnership primarily in the level of liability and management involvement of the partners. In a general partnership, all partners share equal responsibility for the management and debts of the business, exposing them to unlimited personal liability. In contrast, a limited partnership includes both general partners, who manage the business and are fully liable, and limited partners, who contribute capital but have limited involvement and liability. This structure allows limited partners to invest without risking their personal assets beyond their investment in the partnership.
