08. Petition in Business Partnership

Pauline, Patricia and Priscilla formed a business part­nership for the purpose of engaging in neon advertising for a term of five (5) years. Pauline subsequently assigned to Philip her interest in the partnership. When Patricia and Priscilla learned of the assignment, they decided to dissolve the partnership before the expiration of its term as they had an unproductive business relationship with Philip in the past. On the other hand, unaware of the move of Patricia and Priscilla but sensing their negative reaction to his acquisition of Pauline's interest, Philip simultaneously petitioned for the dissolution of the partnership.

1. Is the dissolution done by Patricia and Priscilla without the consent of Pauline or Philip valid? Explain.

2, Does Philip have any right to petition for the disso­lution of the partnership before the expiration of its specified term? Explain.
