1. “"A mere community of interest, such as the right to share in profits as compensation for services rendered, does not make one a partner; the right to share in profits must result from part ownership of the business. The [party alleging the partnership] must prove, among other things, that the parties mutually intended to enter into such a relationship. Where the alleged agreement was oral, the court must look primarily to the parties' conduct and course of dealing to determine whether a partnership was formed. Self-serving declarations of a party are not sufficient."”
