(family farm/ranch partnership sought court action to dissociate brother from partnership after brother brought suit for disclosure of additional partnership documents; after trial, court held brother should be dissociated based on two statutory provisions; court found brother engaged in conduct making it not reasonable to carry on partnership business with him as partner; evidence showed mutual lack of trust between brother and other nine family members in partnership, threats made by brother to family members, testimony by all other partners that removing brother was in best interest of partnership, and court’s determination that brother’s version of events where he was “magnanimous savior of the family” lacked credibility; court determined irreparable deterioration of relationship between partners proven by family was valid basis for dissociation; court found alternative reason for dissociation when it found brother engaged in wrongful conduct that adversely affected partnership; court found brother harassed and belittled his father and refused to agree to any future planning for partnership leaving business at standstill; state (Kan.) Supreme Court denied review).
