Re: joint venture sale
look at your operating agreement and see what it sayd regarding management and decision making. If you dont have one, you should draft one and have all the partners sign and agree to it.
Re: joint venture sale
I suggest you consult legal counsel. A general partner may be able to bind the partnership under certain conditions. It is difficult to properly answer this question without a detail review of all documentation regarding the joint venture. In the absence of an agreement, the general partner would have difficulty binding the other entity to the contract. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
