1,193 chars*692Section 34-51, which is part of the Uniform Partnership Act, was codified in Connecticut in 1961. Pursuant to this statute, liability is imposed on a partner for the tortious acts of his partner only where (1) the act occurred in the ordinary course of the partnership’s business, or (2) the tortfeasor partner acts with the authority of his partner or partners. “The test of partners’ joint and several liability in tort is based on a determination whether the wrong was committed in behalf of and within the reasonable scope of the business of the partnership. If so, the partners are liable as joint tortfeasors. . . .
