Zeron v. Zoller

The Court upheld the trial judge's finding that the partnership was terminated on April 10, 2003 because the April 10 letter, viewed in context, conveyed an intention to dissolve and s.32(c) does not require express notice; there was no basis to interfere with the trial judge's factual conclusion.
