(1)  A person who represents himself or herself, or who knowingly allows himself or herself to be represented, as a partner in a firm other than a limited partnership or an incorporated limited partnership is liable as a partner to any person who, on the faith of any such representation, gives credit to the firm, whether or not the representation has been made or communicated to that person by or with the knowledge of the person represented as a partner.

(2)  A person who represents himself or herself, or who knowingly allows himself or herself to be represented, as a partner in a limited partnership or an incorporated limited partnership is liable as a general partner to any person who, on the faith of any such representation, gives credit to the partnership, whether or not the representation has been made or communicated to that person by or with the knowledge of the person represented as a partner.

(3)  Where, after a partner's death, the partnership business is continued in the same firm-name, the continued use of that name or of the deceased partner's name as part of that name does not of itself make his or her executors, administrators, estate or effects liable for any partnership debts contracted after his or her death.
