- Summary judgment was properly granted to sublessors, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 9-11-56, in a sublessee's multi-claim action arising from agreements entered into between the parties with respect to concert promotion at a particular venue, which was done in order to satisfy a minority business enterprise participation minimum which was imposed by the city; based on the terms of the various documents signed between the parties, there was no legal partnership pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 14-8-1 et seq., and no joint venture as the sublessors did not share control of the concert promotions, did not share profits or liabilities, the terms used in the agreements were not dispositive on the issue, and the sublessee's assistance was titular only. Jerry Dickerson Presents, Inc. v. Concert/Southern Chastain Promotions, 260 Ga. App. 316, 579 S.E.2d 761 (2003).
- Under the Georgia Uniform Partnership Act of 1984, O.C.G.A. § 14-8-1 et seq., the public filing of a joint venture's statement of partnership conclusively established the existence of a partnership; thus, the condemned property was partnership property and could not be used to satisfy a judgment lien against a partner of the joint venture. Accolades Apts., L.P. v. Fulton County, 279 Ga. 257, 612 S.E.2d 284 (2005).
