Partnership Law Act 2019

Relationship of partners to third persons and to each other - Relationship of partners to one another

50: No new partner without consent

You could also call this:

"You need everyone to say "yes" before adding a new person to your group"

You cannot bring in a new partner to a partnership without everyone agreeing. This means if you are already in a partnership with someone, and you want to add another person to your group, you need to ask all the other partners first. Everyone who is already a partner must say it's okay before you can add someone new. This rule helps make sure that all the partners have a say in who joins their partnership.
