Title 1 - Discharge of Joint Obligors
15-107 - Release of Partner.

ยง 15-107. Release of partner. A release of a partner from a
partnership liability shall release his co-partners from the same
liability to the creditor giving the release, but after a partnership
has been dissolved, by consent or otherwise, any partner may make a
separate composition or compromise with any partnership creditor, and
such composition or compromise shall discharge from such liability the
partner making it, and him only.
