A legal, binding partnership that may occur where previously, no formal partnership agreement was in place. A person who exhibits such conduct, or says words which represent, or allow him to be represented, as a partner in any firm becomes liable to any loans or credits that are obtained by the firm. It is also known as the presumption of partnership.
