The provision
The partner who has been appointed manager in the articles of partnership may execute all acts of administration despite the opposition of his partners, unless he should act in bad faith; and his power is irrevocable without just or lawful cause. The vote of the partners representing the controlling interest shall be necessary for such revocation of power. A power granted after the partnership has been constituted may be revoked at any time. (1692a)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
A partner named as manager in the partnership agreement may carry out all acts of administration even over the other partners' objections, as long as he acts in good faith, and his authority cannot be revoked without a just or lawful cause plus the vote of the partners holding the controlling interest. If instead the management power was granted only after the partnership was formed, it may be revoked at any time.
