For article, “Guess Who's Coming to Closing”, see 11 Colo. Law. 689 (1982).   Annotator's note. Since § 7-61-103 is similar to repealed laws antecedent to CSA, C. 123, § 80, a relevant case construing a prior provision has been included with the annotations to this section.   The purpose of this section is to prevent parties putting in property of uncertain and estimated value and calling it cash, thus obtaining a credit to which their capital would not entitle them. Holliday v. Union Bag Co., 3 Colo. 342 (1877).   However, this section does not require that capital should be paid in cash. Holliday v. Union Bag Co., 3 Colo. 342 (1877).   Rather, this section intends that when capital is paid in property it should be so stated, and its cash value given, for one of the essential precautions of the law is, that public notice must be given of the amount paid in so that the public may be enabled to estimate correctly the credit to be given to the partnership. Holliday v. Union Bag Co., 3 Colo. 342 (1877).   Section 7-61-117 , when considered in conjunction with this section and § 7-61-118 , does not bar suit nor entry of judgment and only reflects that a limited partner “shall not receive” a cash distribution in preference to creditors of the partnership when such distribution would result in insufficient assets remaining to pay creditors. Horizon Venture v. Horizon P'ship, 791 P.2d 1223 (Colo. App. 1990).
