The court dismissed the appeal regarding a partner's claim that the company's debt was confessed by their silence. The partner argued that failing to object to the approved balance sheet implied admission of the debt, while the company contended that procedural silence does not equal substantive admission. The court ruled that such non-objection lacks the necessary intent to confess a right, thereby rejecting the partner's assertion.
