The rule that statutes in derogation of the common law are to be strictly construed shall have no application to this chapter. The law of estoppel shall apply under this chapter. The law of agency shall apply under this chapter. This chapter shall be so interpreted and construed as to effect its general purpose to make uniform the law of those states which enact it. This chapter shall not be construed so as to impair the obligations of any contract existing when this chapter goes into effect, nor to affect any action or proceedings begun or right accrued before this chapter takes effect. This chapter being a general Act intended as a unified coverage of its subject matter, no part of it shall be deemed to be impliedly repealed by subsequent legislation if that construction can reasonably be avoided. The validity of an instrument executed on behalf of the partnership by a partner shall not be affected by the formality with which the partnership contract was executed.
