Losses in a company are distributed among partners in proportion to each partner's share of the capital, not in proportion to the profit distribution. Thus, the owner of one-third of the capital bears one-third of the loss, and the owner of two-thirds bears two-thirds of it. This is the view of the majority of jurists.
