The Ruling on a Partner’s Right of Pre-emption in a Lease

Question : If someone asks, “Does a partner have the right of pre-emption?”

Answer : The answer is that the right of pre-emption is only obligatory when ownership of the asset itself is transferred. In a lease, there is no transfer of ownership of the asset, only of its benefit. However, there is another opinion that the right of pre-emption is established in this case.
