35-10-624. Events causing dissolution and winding up of partnership business. Except as provided in 35-10-625, a partnership is dissolved and its business must be wound up only upon:
(1) receipt by a partnership at will of notice from a partner, other than a partner who is dissociated under 35-10-616(2) through (10), of that partner's express will to withdraw as a partner or upon any later date specified in the notice;
(2) in a partnership for a definite term or particular undertaking:
(a) within 90 days after a partner's wrongful dissociation under 35-10-617 or a partner's dissociation by death or otherwise under 35-10-616(6) through (10), receipt by the partnership of notice from another partner of that partner's express will to withdraw as a partner;
(b) the express will of all the partners; or
(c) the expiration of the term or the completion of the undertaking unless all the partners agree to continue the business, in which case the partnership agreement is considered amended retroactively to provide that the expiration or completion does not result in the dissolution and winding up of the partnership business;
(3) an event agreed to in the partnership agreement resulting in the winding up of the partnership business unless all the partners agree to continue the business, in which case the partnership agreement is considered amended retroactively to provide that the event does not result in the dissolution and winding up of the partnership business;
(4) an event that makes it unlawful for all or substantially all of the business of the partnership to be continued, but a cure of illegality within 90 days after notice to the partnership of the event is effective retroactively to the date of the event for purposes of this section;
(5) a judicial decree, issued upon application by a partner, that:
(a) the economic purpose of the partnership is likely to be unreasonably frustrated;
(b) another partner has engaged in conduct relating to the partnership business that makes it not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in partnership with that partner; or
(c) it is not otherwise reasonably practicable to carry on the partnership business in conformity with the partnership agreement; or
(6) a judicial decree, issued upon application by a transferee of a partner's transferable interest, that it is equitable to wind up the partnership business:
(a) if the partnership was for a definite term or particular undertaking at the time of the transfer or entry of the charging order that gave rise to the transfer, after the expiration of the term or completion of the undertaking; or
(b) if the partnership was a partnership at will at the time of the transfer or entry of the charging order that gave rise to the transfer, at any time.
