that is apparent, is his claim to be accepted or not?
He replied:
None of the capital of this profit-sharing investment may be used to repay any debt owed by the working partner unless the owner of the capital so chooses. If he makes a claim contrary to what ordinarily occurs, his word alone is not sufficient for it to be accepted.
He was asked:
A capital owner brought his working partner before the judge and demanded the return of all the capital. The judge ruled that he must repay it. He paid back part of it and requested a respite for the remainder. The owner granted him a respite, with a guarantee for his appearance. The working partner then travelled away from the town for a period. Is the partnership terminated by the owner’s bringing him before the judge, the judge’s ruling that he pay the sum, and the granting of a respite? Does he become personally liable for the capital?
He replied:
The partnership is dissolved by the aforementioned demand. The working partner becomes personally liable for the capital by undertaking the aforementioned journey, since he delayed handing it over beyond the time it became due despite being able to do so.
