The following excerpt is from Jefferson Pointe Prof'l Ctr. Prop. Owners Ass'n v. Kriger, D075946 (Cal. App. 2020):
partnership. "In the absence of other evidence these facts would justify a reasonable man in believing that he was dealing with a partnership." (Blackmon v. Hale (1970) 1 Cal.3d 548, 558.) "It is immaterial in this case that the actual misappropriation occurred after the partnership of [Anderson] and [Kriger] was dissolved. Until [Jefferson Pointe] had notice of the dissolution and consented to a discharge of the partnership, [Kriger] remained liable for obligations assumed before dissolution." (Id. at p. 558, fn. 3 [holding innocent partner in a law firm liable for misappropriation of client trust funds].)
