Cheney v. J. R. Newberry & Co.
Before: Ross
Synopsis
Pabtnebship—Business done undeb Fictitious Name—Assionment oe Pabtnebship Cdaeu.—Section 2468 of the Civil Code, requiring partners doing business under a fictitious name to file and publish á certificate of copartnership before they can maintain an action on a partnership demand, does not prevent the assignment by them of a valid partnership claim, although.they have not filed or published the required certificate.
Ross, J. Appellants contend that the provision of the Civil Code to the effect that persons doing business as partners, contrary to the provisions of the article requiring the filing and publishing of a certificate showing the names and residence of all of the members of the partnership, “ shall not maintain any action upon or on account of any contracts made or transactions had in their partnership name,” also preclude such persons from assigning a valid claim held by them as partners. There is nothing in the point.
Judgment affirmed with ten per cent damages.
McKinstry, J., and McKee, J., concurred.
