In which of the following cases, a partner may cease to be a partner without the dissolution of the firm?

A partner may retire under section 32 without the firm being dissolved. Under section 34 an insolvent partner ceases to be a partner, and under section 42 death or insolvency dissolves the firm only subject to a contract between the partners, which may provide for the firm to continue. So each listed event can end a person's membership without dissolving the firm.

Current law: The distinction between a partner’s departure and dissolution of the firm remains.
