b. Did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and
c. Is not deemed to have had knowledge under subsection 4 of section 45-15-03 or
notice under subsection 3 of section 45-19-04.
2. A dissociated partner is liable to the partnership for any damage caused to the
partnership arising from an obligation incurred by the dissociated partner after
dissociation for which the partnership is liable under subsection 1.
