Lewis, Chief Justice:
An agent for respondent Marvil Properties (Marvil) (a general partnership) entered into a contract, in the name of the partnership, with appellant Fripp Island Development Corporation (Fripp) for the sale by Fripp to Marvil of certain real estate. This action for specific performance of the sales agreement was brought by Marvil in the partnership’s name without naming the partners.
