If a specific thing, which a partner had promised to contribute to the partnership, perishes before the delivery has been effected, its loss produces the dissolution of the partnership.
A partnership shall also be dissolved, in any case, by the loss of the thing, when the partner who contributes it reserves to himself the ownership thereof and transfers to the partnership the use or enjoyment of the same only.
But the partnership shall not be dissolved by the loss of the thing when this loss occurs after the ownership thereof has been acquired by the partnership.
