Delidimitropoulos v. Karantinidis

Updated 1/12/2024 pdw

Vaia Delidimitropulu Karantinidis was in the midst of a bitter divorce with Michael Karantinidis. Michael owned Hephaistos Building Supplies, Inc., where Vaia's dad worked.

In this case, Vaia's dad, Theodoros Delidimitropoulos, is suing his soon-to-be ex-son-in-law Michael, claiming an ownership in the business as a partner. He wants to take half of the business of a guy who hurt his daughter. His claim is weak, but the court gives a nice summary of the factors to consider when determining whether parties have formed a partnership.
