§ 1776.31.
Both of the following govern the acts of a partner, subject to any statement of partnership
authority under section 1776.33 of the Revised Code : (A) Each partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business. An act of a partner, including the execution of an instrument in the partnership
name, for apparently carrying on in the ordinary course the partnership business or
business of the kind carried on by the partnership binds the partnership, unless the
partner had no authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter and the
person with whom the partner was dealing knew or had received a notification that
the partner lacked authority. (B) An act of a partner that is not apparently for carrying on in the ordinary course
the partnership business or business of the kind the partnership carries on binds
the partnership only if the act was authorized by the other partners.
