Question 2

Robertson and Enrickson prepared an agreement to enter into a partnership. Both of the partners realized that outside capital was needed for the firm to begin operations; however, they also realized that their individual and combined credit ratings would not attract sufficient funds. In order to improve the new partnership's ability to attract investment capital, and with the approval of Enrickson, Robertson added his friend Thompson's name to the partnership agreement. Thompson, a well-known personality from a family of means, was not asked to be a partner and knew nothing of Robertson's and Enrickson's actions. Upon seeing Thompson's name on the partnership agreement, a local bank readily agreed to advance Robertson and Enrickson the total sum required to begin operations. The partnership has now failed, and the bank would like to hold Thompson, Robertson and Enrickson liable for the amount of the loan. Will the bank recover from Thompson, Robertson and Enrickson?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

No. Thompson was not a partner. He did not participate in the preparation of the partnership agreement and was not even aware of the fact that his name was being used. In addition to their civil liability for the bank loan, Robertson and Enrickson might be subject to criminal charges for fraud.
