HRS §425-137
Using a former partner's name does not make them liable
If a partnership keeps using the same name, or includes a former partner's name in it, that alone does not make the former partner responsible for the partnership's debts or obligations after they leave.
The statute, as written — Continued use of partnership name
Continued use of a partnership name, or a dissociated partner's name as part thereof, by partners continuing the business does not of itself make the dissociated partner liable for an obligation of the partners or the partnership continuing the business.
