of its business, and the act of every partner, including the execution in the partnership name of any instrument, for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business of the partnership of which he is a member binds the partnership, unless the partner so acting has in fact no authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter, and the person with whom he is dealing has knowledge of the fact that he has no such authority. N.J.S.A. 42:1-9(1) (emphasis added); see also 42:1A-13 N.J.S.A. New Jersey courts interpreting this provision have held that the acts of a partner bind the partnership only when those acts are for the purpose carrying on the ordinary business of the partnership. See, e.g., Citizens First Nat. Bank v. Bluh, 281 N.J.Super. 86, 656 A.2d 853, 858 (1995) (<HOLDING>); Bramblewood v. C and G Assoc., 262 N.J.Super.
