RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Passage of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA) brought change in the treatment of partnerships as entities rather than aggregates of their members.

Linking Statutory Forms, Larry E. Ribstein
Linking Statutory Forms, Larry E. Ribstein
Law and Contemporary Problems
Business association statutes may be "linked" in that rules from one statute are applied to a business form created under another statute; for example, the Uniform Partnership Act, the Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act provide that general partnership provisions apply to limited partnerships. An evaluation of this linkage is presented.

Fiduciary Duties And Rupa: An Inquiry Into Freedom Of Contract, J. Dennis Hynes
Fiduciary Duties And Rupa: An Inquiry Into Freedom Of Contract, J. Dennis Hynes
Law and Contemporary Problems
The Revised Uniform Partnership Act of 1994 (RUPA) section 404 establishes a comprehensive definition of partnership fiduciary duties and includes an express recognition of the unique position of a partner. The approach taken by RUPA endorses too great an invasion of the principle of freedom of contract among partners, and a change in the language of RUPA is proposed with the goal of expanding freedom of contract without abandoning the requirement of good faith.

Professor Hynes' discussion of the waivability of fiduciary duties under RUPA is critiqued.
