Business Partnership Case Citings for Breach of Contract?

Friday, February 22nd, 2008
jimi p asked:


After having started a business with another person we created a written contract (signed & notorized) granting percent ownerships in properties & profits, with clauses addressing partnership dissolution — still granting ownerships & profit sharing after dissolution.

With $50K in my families contribution, over 7 years of my sweat equity (no paychecks), further public relations & business management contributions from both myself and my family, this business grew from a $140K investment to over a million dollar combined property/business with 12+ full-time employees.

After over 7 years, myself & my partner could no longer see eye to eye. Again, our written contract had provisions related to a dissolution along these lines, still granting my fair share in the investment. The other partner fundamentally breached our contract, never once sharing any of the profits, and now denying any share I have in either profits or property.

Is there any case law pertaing to this?
