Arizona Laws 29-1035. Actions by partnership and partners
A. A partnership may maintain an action against a partner for a breach of the partnership agreement, or for the violation of a duty to the partnership, causing harm to the partnership.
Terms Used In Arizona Laws 29-1035
- Action: includes any matter or proceeding in a court, civil or criminal. See Arizona Laws 1-215
- Business: includes every trade, occupation and profession. See Arizona Laws 29-1001
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
