Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 18.11
Joint Ventures
JOINT VENTURE DEFINED
A joint venture is an enterprise jointly undertaken by two or more persons to
carry out a single business transaction, without the designation of a partnership or
corporation, for their mutual benefit. The participants share liabilities that may arise
from the joint venture. Generally, there must be a contractual relationship between
the participants that may be expressly stated or implied from their actions. The
participants in a joint venture may variously combine their property, money, effects,
skill, and knowledge. The contributions of the various participants need not be
equal.
You must determine whether the association of [person’s name] and [list other
alleged joint venturers] in [describe the alleged enterprise] constituted a joint
venture.
