A member of the firm acting within the scope of the partnership business and with the object of furthering the partnership interests may bind the firm by his negligence or tortious manner of transacting the business of the firm, and if his misconduct amounts to more than lack of good judgment, the other members may have their remedy at law over against him; and, on the other hand, if he is innocent of intentional wrong doing or gross negligence and is held personally liable through his connection with the transaction, he is entitled to indemnity or contribution from the other members. The general principle is that there is no right of contribution between joint wrongdoers of an act involving moral turpitude.
