Annotations
COMMENT Note to Uniform Partnership Act This section defines ‘‘knowledge’’ and ‘‘notice’’ as these terms are used in the Uniform Partnership Act. ‘‘Knowledge’’ includes both actual knowledge and bad faith ignorance. ‘‘Notice’’ looks to the conduct of the person giving notice rather than to the subjective awareness of the person who receives notice. Prior Georgia Law There was no comparable provision. Official UPA This section is the same as the official version. Cross-Reference When the partnership is charged with knowledge of or notice to a partner: § 14-8-12. RESEARCH REFERENCES Am. Jur. 2d. - 59A Am. Jur. 2d, Partnership, § 3 et seq., 207 et seq.
