Legal testimony about the customs of the merchants of Fustat regarding partnerships. The testimony describes how partnerships are established.
It has been like this for
sometime, as well when merchandise is broken, or there appears in it
some defect, or there is a technical fault in ownership: (A) can’t say to his associate, “You lose with me,” or “the
fault in ownership doesn’t lie with me,” since each of them had the choice for himself (of whether to accept it as a valid partnership, since it wasn’t legally binding in the first place).
