The claimant sought to claim money from a father and son, saying they were in business in partnership. The father denied this but had opened a bank account in his own name, describing himself as trading under the son’s business name, and the son had represented to the claimant that he was in partnership with his father.
Held: The father’s appeal succeeded. The opening of an account under a name did not represent that the father was in business with the son trading under a similar name.
