[Grooming Grievances] Andrew, Marie, and Cruz formed a partnership to groom dogs. Because they were good friends and anticipated making a profit sufficient to compensate all partners well, the articles of partnership did not allocate profit or losses. Marie was appointed managing partner. Unfortunately, the business did not go as well as expected and the partnership incurred some losses. Cruz claimed that he should not have to share in losses because he had groomed more dogs than anyone. Cruz also claimed that although the partnership did not reference compensation for additional duties, he was entitled to compensation because of his extensive work. Marie claimed that she should not have to share in losses because she contributed more capital than did either of the others. Andrew claimed that he should not have to cover the losses because both Marie and Cruz had been hiding the books from him. He demanded to inspect the books and also to review a listing of all partnership assets and profit statements listing distributions to partners. Marie and Cruz denied that they had been hiding the books and claimed complete innocence of any wrongdoing.

[Partnership Problems] Jamar, Kenya, and Tamika want to form a partnership to sell students resume preparation and employment search services. Jamar asks Kenya and Tamika if they should draw up some sort of agreement. Kenya replies that a written agreement is not legally required and that an oral agreement will set up a partnership. Upon the urging of Jamar and Tamika, however, Kenya agreed to a written document setting up the partnership, which they all signed. It was a simple agreement listing the partners and did not specifically address the right to management or allocation of profits and losses. Kenya has an opportunity to assist some students with resumes and does so without revealing her employment to the partnership; she keeps the payment she receives for herself. When Jamar and Tamika find out, Kenya replies that she was doing two-thirds of the partnership work, particularly in regard to management; that she, therefore, has two-thirds of the voting rights; and that she voted that her actions were appropriate. The articles of partnership does not address the right to share in management, but Jamar and Tamika strongly disagree with Kenya. Is Kenya’s statement that a written agreement is not necessary to set up a partnership correct?
