the kind carried on by the partnership binds the partnership, unless the partner had no
authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter and the person with whom
the partner was dealing knew or had received a notification that the partner lacked
authority.
2. An act of a partner which is not apparently for carrying on in the ordinary course the
partnership business or business of the kind carried on by the partnership binds the
partnership only if the act was authorized by the other partners.
