Choose your answer
A partnership firm situated in Delhi institutes a suit for recovery of price of goods sold, supplied and delivered by the said firm to the defendant. The firm is not registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.
Select the correct statement.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
An unregistered firm ordinarily cannot sue a third party to enforce a contractual right under section 69(2) of the Partnership Act. Recovery of the price of goods sold is such a contractual claim. The stated suit is therefore barred at institution; it is not validated by paying costs or postponing summons while registration is sought.
