The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ The record is convincing that there was no intention on the part of the defendants to form a partnership. Very few of the indicia of partnerships were present and most of them were absent. This was the only property they had a common interest in; there was no firm name, no firm funds, no firm accounts, no firm letterheads, no firm bank account, no commingling of funds or property, no certificate of partnership filed, no agreement as to losses, no time fixed when it would expire.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Sharing in profits may 'be evidence to be considered where the question of a partnership is involved, but it is not conclusive.””
