Nantong Shuangying v. Lianda Machinery Factory: Partnership Liability

南通双盈贸易有限公司诉镇江市丹徒区联达机械厂、魏恒聂等六人买卖合同纠纷案

A Gazette case on identifying a partnership relationship behind an externally registered sole proprietorship and allocating civil liability among partners.

Brief English Introduction

The case asks whether the parties’ actual cooperation and contribution arrangement can reveal a partnership even when the business appears externally as a different form.

Use It For

Use this case to compare partnership liability with company limited liability, especially where registration and economic reality point in different directions.

Teaching Notes

It is a practical bridge from “what form was registered?” to “who actually bore entrepreneurial risk?”
