There was a recent case where a partner defrauded the NHS to the tune of
several hundred thousand pounds, and I *believe* the injured partners
are now having to refund it... as it was not recoverable from the
culprit.
If the same applies, does your partnership agreement allow you to
prevent a partner from putting the whole practice in jepardy?
