As the partners agreed to run a high-quality nursery and had specifically avoided buying the type of pots Matthew purchased because they were not high-quality enough, Matthew's actions could be argued to prejudicially affect the carrying on of the business with "regard being had to the nature of the business."

As the business might continue to make a profit from Matthew's efforts and resources while he was a partner, he could insist that he is entitled to a commensurate portion of the profits. A cash settlement and written agreement that terminates any such profit sharing might be distasteful but the best option......
