Illegality of business operations triggers dissolution of partnership, except where illegality is confined to separate lawful adventures. A partnership is compulsorily dissolved when an event renders it unlawful for the firm's business to be carried on or for the partners to carry it on in partnership; however, illegality confined to one or more separate adventures of a multi-venture firm does not automatically dissolve the firm as to its lawful adventures. A former clause on adjudication of partners as insolvent was omitted by later enactment.
