With reference to relevant authority, indicate whether a partnership is recognized as a separate entity apart from the partners in terms of SA African law

Respuesta :

The common law is the primary source of partnership regulations in South Africa because a partnership is not universally recognized as a separate legal entity apart from the partners.

What is a partnership?

A partnership is a business structure whereby two or more partners combine their human and material resources to form an entity.

Partners usually sign a partnership agreement to share risks, profits, and losses. The partnership agreement remains the legal document that establishes a partnership.  Where it is not existing, disputes among the partners can be settled using the general partnership agreements.

Examples of common partnerships include:

  • Law firms
  • Physician groups,
  • Real estate investment firms
  • Accounting groups.

Thus, there are no existing partnership laws in South Africa, and partnerships are generally not distinct from their partners, legally speaking.
