Subject
The points indicate that Article (27) allows joining the partnership company and the joint partners to pursue a debt claim, while prohibiting suing partners alone and permitting execution on partners’ private assets only if the company’s funds are insufficient. Suing a partner in the capacity of managing and signing representative is effectively a suit directed at the company when the power of attorney and claim show representative capacity.
Summary
Joinder of joint partners is a procedural mechanism to enable a creditor to enforce a claim if company assets prove inadequate; it does not establish an initial state of solidarity between company and partners. When a partner is sued in a representative capacity and the documents indicate this role, the dispute is treated as against the company rather than the individual alone.
Practical significance
Practically, failure to join the company may limit recourse against partners, and execution on partners’ personal assets is contingent on insufficiency of company funds. Clear indication of representative status in the power of attorney and claim directs the action toward the company. This summary is for general educational purposes only; it is not a judicial text or legal advice.
