Do you think it’s ethical for a general partnership to fire a partner by
dissolving the partnership and then re-forming without the dismissed
partner? Why or why not?
Based on the details and contracts involved, it may be unethical or ethical.
Acting morally requires sincerity. If there was clear and open communication
with the partner in question and the dissolution of the partnership was
agreed upon, then it might be deemed ethical.
However, the decision can be viewed as unethical if it was taken without
adequate thought or communication. Such activities may have legal
repercussions if they go beyond the provisions of the partnership agreement.
It can be unethical if there was no good reason to dissolve the partnership
and if it was carried out with bad intentions.
It is possible to make sure that acts are morally and legally right by following
the rules of the partnership agreement and seeking legal advice.
