A Correct answer
Explanation

Garner v. Murray is a landmark partnership case that established two key principles: (1) solvent partners must bring in cash equal to their shares of losses on realization of assets, and (2) any loss arising from a partner's insolvency should be borne by solvent partners in the ratio of their last agreed capitals. This prevents solvent partners from unfairly benefiting and ensures losses are distributed equitably.
