Syllabus

Plaintiff sued for breach of contract against defendants, former business partner and limited liability company. The dispute involved whether plaintiff, who had withdrawn from limited liability company, was entitled to profits from defendants' operation of golf course. Trial court erred in granting summary judgment on basis that plaintiff had not presented any evidence of oral agreement to share profits with defendants after withdrawal from limited liability company. Summary judgment record contained evidence to indicate an agreement where a third business partner corroborated the agreement. Agreement was further evidenced by a handwritten document, allegedly authored by the former business partner, which may have described ownership percentages and profit distributions.
