When a person has been thus represented to be

a partner in an existing partnership, or with one

or more persons not actual partners, he is an

agent of the persons consenting to such

representation to bind them to the same extent

and in the same manner as though he were a

partner in fact, with respect to persons who rely

upon the representation. When all the members

of the existing partnership consent to the

representation, a partnership act or obligation

results; but in all other cases it is the joint act or

obligation of the person acting and the persons

consenting to the representation. (n)
