Theo, a member of TGI partnership, withdrew from the partnership and duly notified the other members. The firm was an at-will partnership and the parties parted amicably, posting a notice in the local newspaper of the dissolution of their firm. Cosmo, a customer who had conducted business with Theo several times, did not see the newspaper notice and was not informed of the dissolution. Later, Theo approached Cosmo concerning a transaction similar to those Cosmo had engaged in before with Theo acting on behalf of TGI. Cosmo placed an order, gave a substantial down payment to Theo, and received a receipt on TGI stationery from him. Theo thereafter absconded with the down payment, and TGI failed to honor the contract. Cosmo sued the other members of TGI partnership. Discuss their potential liability.
