Competitive Business by a Partner: In case a partner carries a business that is quite similar to that of the firm and earns profits from it, then he shall be liable to pay such profits to the firm. The reason is that his business being a competition for the firm violates the very basic nature of trust bestowed on him by the firm.
Profit for self from a firm’s transaction: If a partner earns any profit for self through the use of business’s property or connection or through any business transaction then the profit so earned shall be handed over to the firm as it is. The reason is that a partner must not take undue advantage of the firm for his own personal gains.
