§ 24. Partnership bound by partner's wrongful act. Where, by any
wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the ordinary course of
the business of the partnership, or with the authority of his
copartners, loss or injury is caused to any person, not being a partner
in the partnership, or any penalty is incurred, the partnership is
liable therefor to the same extent as the partner so acting or omitting
to act.
