Partnership law is one of the great survivors of English colonial rule. The basic precepts of the United Kingdom (“UK") Partnership Act, 1890 (UK), 53 & 54 Vict, c 39 [UK Partnership Act] can still be found in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Nigeria, India, Malaysia and even Ireland. The same is true of Singapore (there is a very useful appendix to the book giving a comparative table of the partnership statutes of the UK, Singapore and Malaysia). It follows that many of the national decisions on partnership law can be translated across boundaries. In some areas there have been different developments from the Partnership Act (such as the nature of a partner's interest in property) whereas in others there is unanimity.
