Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Partnership by estoppel occurs when a person, by words or conduct, represents themselves as a partner or consents to being represented as a partner in a firm to a third party who relies on this representation. If the third party suffers harm because of this reliance, the person making the representation may be held liable as if they were indeed a partner, even if no actual partnership exists. This concept is designed to protect third parties who justifiably rely on the representation of a partnership.
