Questão jurídica principal
Whether a simple partnership existed between the spouses for the renovation and use of the property
Decisão extraída
No simple partnership was established, expressly or by implication, because the husband acted as personally mandated contractor seeking remuneration, not as a co-venturer pursuing a common contractual purpose.
Fundamentação extraída
A simple partnership requires a jointly pursued common purpose as the object of shared contractual duties. The husband's claim for a personal fee, together with the wife's sole decision-making over the property, contradicted a common-purpose arrangement.
