Uniform Partnership Act (Upa) (1997) (Last Amended 2013)
111 N. Wabash Ave. Suite 1010 Chicago, IL 60602 Uniform Law Commission (312) 450-6600 tel NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS (312) 450-6601 fax www.uniformlaws.org WHY YOUR STATE SHOULD ADOPT THE UNIFORM PARTNERSHIP ACT (UPA) (1997) (LAST AMENDED 2013) The original Uniform Partnership Act was drafted in 1914 and enacted in every state except Louisiana. In 1997 it was completely revised. This revised version of the act is frequently referred to as the Revised Uniform Partnership Act. UPA (1997) was enacted in approximately three-fourths of the states. The 2011 and 2013 amendments to UPA (1997), approved as part of the Harmonization of Business Entity Acts project, expand the comprehensiveness of the act significantly, incorporate statutory and case law developments since its initial promulgation, and harmonize the language in the provisions that are similar to the other uniform and model unincorporated entity acts. It is the foundational unincorporated business entity statute. Every state should enact it. States that enacted UPA (1997) before the Harmonization project amendments should consider adopting UPA (1997), either as a stand-alone act or as Article 3 of the Uniform Business Organizations Code. The following list describes the more significant changes to UPA (1997), as amended: • Flexible Structure. UPA (1997) is a default statute for matters not covered by the partnership agreement. In general, the partnership agreement expressly controls over the statutory language in the act so that partners may tailor their management structure to meet their business needs. • Cohesive Entity. UPA (1997) defines a partnership explicitly as an entity, not an aggregate. -

'Capacitas': Contract Law and the Institutional
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics ‘CAPACITAS’: CONTRACT LAW AND THE INSTITUTIONAL PRECONDITIONS OF A MARKET ECONOMY Centre for Business Research, University Of Cambridge Working Paper No. 325 by Simon Deakin University of Cambridge Centre for Business Research Judge Business School Building Trumpington Street Cambridge CB2 1AG Email: [email protected] June 2006 This working paper forms part of the CBR Research Programme on Corporate Governance. Abstract Capacity may be defined as a status conferred by law for the purpose of empowering persons to participate in the operations of a market economy. This paper argues that because of the confining influence of the classical private law of the nineteenth century, we currently lack a convincing theory of the role of law in enhancing and protecting the substantive contractual capacity of market agents, a notion which resembles the economic concept of ‘capability’ as developed by Amartya Sen. Re-examining the legal notion of capacity from the perspective of Sen’s ‘capability approach’ is part of a process of understanding the preconditions for a sustainable market order under modern conditions. JEL Classification : K12, K31 Keywords : contract law, capacity, capability approach Acknowledgements This paper is based on the work of the ‘Capacitas’ project which was funded by the European Union’s Fifth Framework Programme, as part of a wider research network examining the politics of capabilities in Europe (‘Eurocap’).

Contractual Capacity
CONTRACTUAL CAPACITY Contractual Capacity: The minimum mental capacity the law requires to bind a party who enters into a contract. The law presumes that the following classes of persons lacked contractual capacity when they entered into a contract to bind them to a contract they wish to avoid: (1) persons who were minors; (2) persons who were mentally impaired, including those whose impairment was due to voluntarily consuming alcohol or drugs; (3) persons who were mentally incompetent, but had not been adjudged incompetent and were not under the care of a legal guardian. Unlike a void contract, which the law will not enforce, a voidable contract is enforceable unless the party with the right to avoid it elects to do so. Disaffirmance: A person with the option to avoid a contract due to lack of capacity may do so by manifesting, by words or actions, his intent not to be bound. Disaffirmance must be timely. Ch. 14: Contracts: Capacity and Legality - No. 1 Clarkson et al.’s Business Law (13th ed.) MINORITY Subject to certain exceptions, an unmarried legal minor (in most states, someone less than 18 years old) may avoid a contract that would bind him if he were an adult. Contracts entered into by young children and contracts for something the law permits only for adults (e.g., a contract to purchase cigarettes or alcohol) are generally void, rather than voidable. Right to Disaffirm: Generally speaking, a minor may disaffirm a contract at any time during minority or for a reasonable time after he comes of age. When a minor disaffirms a contract, he can recover all property that he has transferred as consideration – even if it was subsequently transferred to a third party. -
Unit 6 – Contracts
Unit 6 – Contracts I. Definition A contract is a voluntary agreement between two or more parties that a court will enforce. The rights and obligations created by a contract apply only to the parties to the contract (i.e., those who agreed to them) and not to anyone else. II. Elements In order for a contract to be valid, certain elements must exist: (A) Competent parties. In order for a contract to be enforceable, the parties must have legal capacity. Even though most people can enter into binding agreements, there are some who must be protected from deception. The parties must be over the age of majority (18 under most state laws) and have sufficient mental capacity to understand the significance of the contract. Regarding the age requirement, if a minor enters a contract, that agreement can be voided by the minor but is binding on the other party, with some exceptions. (Contracts that a minor makes for necessaries such as food, clothing, shelter or transportation are generally enforceable.) This is called a voidable contract, which means that it will be valid (if all other elements are present) unless the minor wants to terminate it. The consequences of a minor avoiding a contract may be harsh to the other party. The minor need only return the subject matter of the contract to avoid the contract. if the subject matter of the contract is damaged the loss belongs to the nonavoiding party, not the minor. Regarding the mental capacity requirement, if the mental capacity of a party is so diminished that he cannot understand the nature and the consequences of the transaction, then that contract is also voidable (he can void it but the other party can not). -

The narrative that precedes the form, provides some guidance to understanding and instruction for executing the new form. However, this guidance and instruction is not meant to replace any needed legal advice on the purpose, intent and use of this or any other legal document.
