Abstract
Description
<p>The paper analyzes the judgment in a case in which the owner and the crew of an artisanal fishing vessel entered what the General Act of Fisheries and Aquaculture calls a “contract or partnership at parts”. The plaintiff crew brought an action for enforcement of this contract, requesting that the shipowner be ordered to pay the difference of a final liquidation of the fishing for several seasons, as well as its share in the sale of the catch quota to a third party. The commentary highlights the difficulties raised by the distinction between contracts which distributes a percentage of the profit of the business between parties, and partnerships, as well as the (contingent) place of legal entity in the latter.</p>
