Partnership Vs Corporation Distinction
Summary
A partnership with 20 or more members in the Philippines may be considered a corporation, necessitating corporate registration and compliance. This distinction affects liability and regulatory duties. If a creditor successfully argues for reclassification, the entity could face penalties for non-compliance with corporate laws. The legal framework for this is governed by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and regulations, rather than the Philippine Civil Code.Full Conversation

This is supported by Article * and Article * of the Philippine Civil Code, which discuss ownership acquisition and the rights of good faith buyers.

In a general partnership, X, without authority, borrowed money in the name of the partnership. The lender relied in good faith on X’s representation. The partnership claims it is not liable. Is the defense meritorious? Why or why not?
Case Rating: *
In a general partnership, partners typically have the authority to bind the partnership in transactions within the ordinary course of business.

Nevertheless, if the lender relied in good faith on X's representation, the partnership could still be held liable under the doctrine of apparent authority. This is because the lender believed X had the authority to act on behalf of the partnership.
