Anthony and karen were partners doing business as the petite garment company. leroy owned a dye plant that did much of the processing for the company. anthony and karen decided to offer leroy an interest in their company, in consideration for which leroy would contribute his dye plant to the partnership. leroy accepted the offer and was duly admitted as a partner. at the time he was admitted as a partner, leroy did not know that the partnership was on the verge of insolvency. about three months after leroy was admitted to the partnership, a textile firm obtained a judgement against the partnership in the amount of $50,000. this debt represented an unpaid balance that had existed before leroy was admitted as a partner.
the textile firm brought an action to subject the partnership property, including the dye plant, to the satisfaction of its judgement. the complaint also requested that in the event the judgement was unsatisfied by sale of the partnership property, leroy's home be sold and the proceeds applied to the balance of the judgement. anthony and karen own nothing, but their interest in the partnership property. what should be the result (a) with regard to the dye plant and (b) with regard to leroy's home?
