What is Dissolution of a Firm?

  • When the business concern of the enterprise is illegal
  • When some occurrence has taken place which makes it illegitimate for the partners to take over and carry on the business concern of the enterprise in partnership, for example, when a partner who is a citizen of a nation becomes an alien antagonist because of the allegated declaration of war with his nation and India

3. On the occurrence of certain emergencies: Subject to agreement between the partners, an enterprise is dissolved :

• • If established for a steady period, by the expiry of that time frame
  • If established to carry out one or more deals, by the accomplishment thereon
  • When the fellow partner is deceased
  • By the judgment of a partner as a bankrupt

4. Dissolution by Notice: If the partnership is at will, the enterprise may be dissolved if one of the partners furnishes a notice in written proof to the other fellow partners, bespeaking his motive of pursuing dissolution of the enterprise
