620.8305 Partnership liable for partner’s actionable conduct.—(1) A partnership is liable for loss or injury caused to a person, or for a penalty incurred, as a result of a wrongful act or omission, or other actionable conduct, of a partner acting in the ordinary course of business of the partnership or with authority of the partnership.(2) If, in the course of the partnership’s business or while acting with authority of the partnership, a partner receives or causes the partnership to receive money or property of a person who is not a partner, and the money or property is misapplied by a partner, the partnership is liable for the loss.History.—s. 13, ch. 95-242.
FL Stat § 620.8306 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XXXVI - Business Organizations|Chapter 620 - Partnership Laws|Part II - Revised Uniform Partnership Act (Ss. 620.81001-620.9902)|620.8306 - Partner’s liability.

620.8306 Partner’s liability.—(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (2) and (3), all partners are liable jointly and severally for all obligations of the partnership unless otherwise agreed by a claimant or provided by law.(2) A person admitted as a partner into an existing partnership is not personally liable for any partnership obligation incurred before the person’s admission as a partner.(3) An obligation of a partnership incurred while the partnership is a limited liability partnership, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, is solely the obligation of the partnership. A partner is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for such an obligation solely by reason of being or so acting as a partner. This subsection applies notwithstanding anything inconsistent in the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the vote required to become a limited liability partnership under s. 620.9001(2). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, at any time during the first 6 months after the effective date of this subsection, a limited liability partnership that became a limited liability partnership before the effective date of this subsection may, by filing a notice with the Secretary of State so stating, waive its partners’ protection from liability arising from written contractual obligations of the limited liability partnership with regard to any particular written obligations or all written obligations entered into at any time or during any particular period of time set forth in the notice. If a limited liability partnership executes and delivers such a notice, each partner of the limited liability partnership is jointly and severally liable for the contractual obligations of the partnership which are the subject of the notice, except that no partner is liable under any such contract for any amount in excess of the amount for which the partner would have been liable under the laws of this state as they existed immediately before the effective date of this subsection.History.—s. 13, ch. 95-242; s. 9, ch. 99-285.

620.8307 Actions by and against partnership and partners.—(1) A partnership may sue and be sued in the name of the partnership.(2) An action may be brought against the partnership and, to the extent not inconsistent with s. 620.8306, any or all of the partners in the same action or in separate actions.(3) A judgment against a partnership is not by itself a judgment against a partner. A judgment against a partnership may not be satisfied from a partner’s assets unless there is also a judgment against the partner.(4) A judgment creditor of a partner may perfect a judgment lien but may not proceed against or otherwise levy or execute against the assets of the partner to satisfy a judgment arising from a partnership obligation or liability unless the partner is personally liable for the claim under s. 620.8306 and:(a) A judgment based on the same claim has been obtained against the partnership and a writ of execution on the judgment has been returned unsatisfied in whole or in part;(b) The partnership is a debtor in bankruptcy;(c) The partner has agreed that the creditor need not exhaust partnership assets;(d) A court grants permission to the judgment creditor to proceed against or otherwise levy or execute against the assets of a partner based on a finding that partnership assets subject to execution are clearly insufficient to satisfy the judgment, that exhaustion of partnership assets is excessively burdensome, or that the grant of permission is an appropriate exercise of the court’s equitable powers; or(e) Liability is imposed on the partner by law or contract independent of the existence of the partnership.(5) This section applies to any partnership liability or obligation resulting from a representation by a partner or purported partner under s. 620.8308.History.—s. 13, ch. 95-242; s. 10, ch. 99-285.

620.8308 Liability of purported partner.—(1) If a person, by words or conduct, purports to be a partner, or consents to being represented by another as a partner, in a partnership or with one or more persons who are not partners, the purported partner is liable to a person to whom the representation is made if such person, relying on the representation, enters into a transaction with the actual or purported partnership. If the representation, either by the purported partner or by a person with the purported partner’s consent, is made in a public manner, the purported partner is liable to a person who relies upon the purported partnership even if the purported partner is not aware of being held out as a partner to the claimant. If partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable with respect to such liability as if the purported partner were a partner. If no partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable with respect to such liability jointly and severally with any other person consenting to the representation.(2) If a person is thus represented to be a partner in an existing partnership, or with one or more persons who are not partners, the purported partner is an agent of persons consenting to the representation to bind them to the same extent and in the same manner as if the purported partner were a partner, with respect to persons who enter into transactions in reliance upon the representation. If all of the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, a partnership act or obligation results. If fewer than all of the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, the person acting and the partners consenting to the representation are jointly and severally liable.(3) A person is not liable as a partner merely because the person is named by another in a statement of partnership authority.(4) A person does not continue to be liable as a partner merely because of a failure to file a statement of dissociation or to amend a statement of partnership authority to indicate the partner’s dissociation from the partnership.(5) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (1) and (2), persons who are not partners as to each other are not liable as partners to other persons.History.—s. 13, ch. 95-242.
