Donna and Earl are partners in The Law Firm, LLP, a limited liability partnership. Donna supervises Earl. Earl negligently fails to appear in court on behalf of Frank, a client. Frank sues Donna and Earl. If the prin­ciple of proportionate liability is applied, Donna will likely be held liable for

a. her portion of responsibility for Earl’s negligence.
b. the amount of the loss that Earl is unable to pay.
c. the entire loss.
d. none of the above.
a. her portion of responsibility for Earl’s negligence.

Begründung:
The partner who commits negligence is reliable, as well as the partner who supervises this party.
If principle of proportionate liability is apllied, it means that each of them is liable for no more than his portion.
