For ordinary decisions after a new partner is admitted, what is the typical voting rule?

• A. Equal rights; majority for ordinary decisions
• B. Unanimous consent for ordinary decisions
• C. Majority for ordinary decisions only for new partners
• D. Consent of all for all decisions

Answer: (A)

In partnership practice, ordinary decisions are made by simple majority, and every partner has an equal vote. When a new partner is admitted, that partner joins the group with the same voting rights as the others for routine matters, so decisions are decided by the majority of votes cast. This arrangement keeps day-to-day operations efficient while ensuring that all partners have an equal say in ordinary business. Unanimous consent or consent of all is typically required only for fundamental changes to the partnership (like admitting or removing a partner or amending the agreement), not for ordinary decisions.
