Indemnification of general partner by limited partners. — Indemnifying a general partner for partnership debts by essentially forcing limited partners to pay for them violates the general public policy of limited partnership law. Acacia Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. American Gen. Life Ins. Co., 1990-NMSC-107, 111 N.M. 106, 802 P.2d 11.
An indemnification clause in the partnership agreement which would have the general partners paid off by the limited partners clearly contravenes the order of priority in the distribution of assets of a dissolved limited partnership as set out by the legislature. Acacia Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. American Gen. Life Ins. Co., 1990-NMSC-107, 111 N.M. 106, 802 P.2d 11.
