QUESTION 1:
Determining Whether a Specific Business is a Partnership
In South African law, the courts determine whether a business is a partnership by
referring to several key criteria established through case law. Here are the primary
considerations:
1. Agreement Between Parties: There must be an agreement, either explicit or
implied, between the parties involved. This agreement forms the basis of the
partnership. The case of Pezzutto v Dreyer (1992) is significant in this
regard, highlighting the necessity of an agreement for a partnership to exist.
2. Intention to Conduct a Business: The parties must have the intention to
carry on a business together. This intention is often inferred from the
conduct and statements of the parties, as seen in Kritzinger v Kritzinger
