Bobby. Wags. and Wendy were partners in a general partnership that operated an axe throwing venue known as Axe Caps. On September 1, 2018, Wendy withdrew as partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement and left the partnershid to pursue a career in corporate counseling. Bobby and Wags continued to operate Axe Caps after Wendy left, but closed the business and dissolved the partnership in August 2020. In February 2021, Chuck sued the partnershid. and each of its partners. including Wend. for Dersonal iniuries he suffered when he lost an ear after being hit with an inartfully thrown axe by a patron at Axe Caps. Chuck was hit by the axe and injured in June 2018, before Wendy withdrew as partner. The jurv awarded Chuck $150.000 in damages. Wendy claims that she is not liable for any of Chuck's damages because at the time she withdrew as partner, Axe Caps was a viable business and had sufficient assets to pay the damages award to Chuck at trial. Wendy also argues that when she withdrew from the partnership, she received $50,000 less for her share of the partnership's value to offset any liabiity for her share of the partnership's existing or potential indebtedness at the time of her withdrawal. Can Chuck recover the full $150.000 judgment from Wendy? State the reasons for your answer.
