Brodsky v. Stadlen
New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division
138 A.D.2d 662 (1988)
- Written by David Bloom, JD
Facts
Richard Brodsky (plaintiff), Lewis Stadlen (defendant), and Flinn (defendant) were involved in the production of a play. Stadlen was the producer and star of the play. Flinn was the director and choreographer. Brodsky, an attorney, performed legal services and acted as general manager for the production but made no management decisions in the play’s production. Brodsky received a salary and a small percentage of the gross profits but did not share in the losses of the play. Brodsky did not contribute any capital to the production. Brodsky loaned money to the production, but the loan was repaid. The production company, Diana Enterprises, referred to itself in certain documents as a partnership. Brodsky filed suit against Stadlen and Flinn, claiming that Brodsky was partners with Stadlen and Flinn. The trial court determined that no partnership existed. Brodsky appealed.
