Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 42:6-1

  • Liabilities: The aggregate of all debts and other legal obligations of a particular person or legal entity.
  • Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
When any voluntary association, carrying on business with partnership liabilities, is or shall become insolvent, has suspended or shall suspend its ordinary business for want of funds to carry on the same, or whose debts are unpaid and whose business is unsettled, any creditor or member of such association may in an action apply to the Superior Court for injunctive relief and the appointment of receivers or trustees for the winding up of the business and payment of the debts of the association. Thereupon the court may proceed in the action in a summary manner or otherwise and the proceedings shall be as near as may be similar to those provided by law for winding up insolvent corporations.
