“Dissolution of the firm takes places when the relationship between all the partners comes to an end and the business is closed.”
According to section 39 of partnership act 1932:
“The dissolution of partnership between all the partners of a firm is called the dissolution of a firm”
Explanation:
The dissolution of partnership between all the partners of a firm is called the dissolution of the firm. [Section 39]. As per section 4, partnership is the relation between persons who have agreed to share profits of business carried on by all or any of them action for all.
