Part 2 – Limited partnerships etc Dissolution, winding up and sequestration Section 130: Dissolution by the court when a partner has a mental disorder
This section substitutes section 35(a) of the Partnership Act 1890 (dissolution by the court) which made provision for the dissolution of a Scottish or Northern Irish partnership on the grounds of a partner’s "lunacy". The effect of this section is to include appropriate references to "mental disorder" within the meaning of modern Scottish and Northern Irish legislation. It also makes amendments to the circumstances under which a limited partnership can be dissolved by the court. If a limited partner has a mental disorder or becomes incapable of performing the partnership contract, the court cannot dissolve the limited partnership unless the limited partner cannot otherwise access their share.
