Question juridique clé
Whether the partnership liquidation should include a loss from alleged market value changes in contributed real estate
Solution extraite
No. Only value changes caused by partnership activity count in the liquidation accounts; purely market-driven changes remain with the owner.
Motifs extraits
The court confirmed that the land and rights were contributed for use only and returned to the owners on dissolution. The appellants failed to show any partnership-caused deterioration, so the closing balance had to be based on the same values as the opening balance.
