    • When all the partners or one partner, become bankrupt, rendering them incapable to sign an agreement
    • When the business concern of the enterprise is illegal

  1. 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
  1. 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
