Defendant remained a partner because the Partnership Agreement continued in effect, he continued to receive profit shares and exercise management rights, and no variation or transfer of his partnership interests was proved; the earlier third‑party proceeding was terminated procedurally and did not dispose of the merits so res judicata did not apply; indemnity claim was not premature under authority that cause of action for indemnity runs from date defendant is held liable; Plaintiff's bankruptcy was stayed so the action could proceed.
