For 2 years after a partner dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, the partnership, including a surviving partnership under subchapter 9, is bound by an act of the dissociated partner that would have bound the partnership under section 1031 before dissociation only if at the time of entering into the transaction the other party:
A. Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner; [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
B. Did not have notice of the partner’s dissociation; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
C. Is not deemed to have notice under section 1074, subsection 2. [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
