The Supreme Court held that a former partner remained liable for outstanding lease payments despite the company's deregistration and public notice. The plaintiff argued that the partner should bear responsibility for debts incurred while managing the company's leasing operations. The court ruled that the partner's prior involvement and management duties created a continuing obligation that survived the formal dissolution of the partnership.
