Vohland v. Sweet

Sweet (plaintiff) worked at Vohland's nursery, and after the owner's son (defendant) took over, Sweet claimed he was told he would work on commission with a 20% interest in the business's net profits, though he contributed no money or property, and the business filed taxes treating his share as a commission expense rather than partnership income, while Sweet filed as a self-employed salesman. He ran the daily operations.

Whether a partnership is formed where one party intended the other to be a commission-based, contract employee rather than a partner.
