Could anyone advise me on my problem which is as follows. I entered a business partnership with another person, we regestered as a partnership and got cert etc however we never set anything legal up. We took over a contract from a national courier service to run the operation in the west of Ireland (no contract was signed-we took over on a trial basis) but since day one relations between myself and partner were bad. We both invested €10k into the business (nothing legal was exchanged). Because of bad relations the national courier service who we got the contract off decided to give the contract to my partner as he has more experience and basically told me that i can longer be involved in it.
I have approached my old partner whom is still trading under cmpany name we set up who now says he will not give me any of my investment back nor will he pay me wages that i am owed. We had a joint bank account for the business and i got statements from bank today which show that he made numerous transfers through banking online from business account to personal account. I have made appointment with my solicitor for tommorrow but i am just at a loss on where i stand and i would like some advise .... have i a leg to stand on with no legal documents signed... can he just tell me to bow out ?
