Erk. I'd say we need to fix that. In real-world contract law there is the concept of third-party rights in contracts: typically, one who is not a party to a contract can sue to enforce the contract if e is adversely affected by a breach in some way. I don't think we need any restriction on this, which would be difficult to codify anyway. Let's just get rid of that sentence. On reflection I don't think this problem affects the personhood of partnerships. Obligations on the partnership still become obligations on the partners, in such a way that Agoran law recognises them as binding obligations. The lack of an effective enforcement mechanism doesn't change that. -zefram
