‘The Court of Appeal’s judgment in Bishop v Golstein [2014] EWCA Civ 10, handed down on 5th February 2014, and the first instance decision of Christopher Nugee QC (now Nugee J) (reported at [2014] Ch 131) both contain useful guidance for partnership lawyers advising clients in connection with dissolution and remedies where the partnership relationship has irretrievably broken down. Whether a partnership can be dissolved by acceptance of arepudiatory breach is probably one of the most contentious issues in modern partnership law. The first instance decision is now the leading authority on this issue in two partners firms, whilst the Court of Appeal’s decision sets out some pointers. Amanda Eilledge explains.’
