Annotations

COMMENT Note to Uniform Partnership Act This section assures access by the partners to the partnership books.

Prior Georgia Law There was no comparable provision. The right given in this section is consistent with the general obligation of good faith in prior O.C.G.A. § 14-8-40, and with the partners’ right to examine into the affairs of the partnership under prior O.C.G.A. § 14-8-41. Official UPA This section is the same as the official version. Cross-References Partners’ right to information other than the books: § 14-8-20. Partners’ right to a formal accounting: § 14-8-22.
