A partnership is a type of business entity/ association in which partners (owners) share with each other the profits or losses of the business undertaking in which all have invested and is created by contract, whether orally or formally - in writing. A partnership is not a separate legal entity in English (or Jamaican) law. Hence, the principles of commercial agency came to be applied to such relationships, and, consequently, the law of partnership is based on the law of agency, with each partner becoming an agent of the others. As agents for each other, partners have strict fiduciary duties and obligations toward each other, rendering the partnership form of association appropriate only where considerable trust and confidence exists between the partners. In general, every partner is entitled and bound to take part in the conduct of the firm’s business, unless it is otherwise agreed between them.

Although a public utility company could be classified as a monopoly, their marketing plans and prices they charge must have the approval of the government (All Business, 2012). Oligopoly An oligopoly is a situation in which a small group of companies have the control over the supply of a product or service and therefore are able to control market price. The two types of oligopoly are perfect, where all parties have the same product or service, and imperfect, where the involved companies have the product or service but have a different identity. Examples of these would be the product of cement for the perfect oligopoly and cigarettes for the imperfect oligopoly (All Business, 2012). Cartel A cartel is a group of companies or even countries that have an agreement to regulate the production of a product or service and in turn are able to control the pricing.
The doctrine of vicarious liability generally operates within the law of torts. It has become well-established in English law and historically has been called “Master and Servant liability,” which clearly indicates the circumstances in which the doctrine becomes applicable in tort law. The general rule in tort law is that a person who authorises a tort will personally be liable for damage or harm as a result. However, vicarious liability defines the circumstances in which a person is liable for the torts of another without express authorisation or ratification. The most common example of vicarious liability is the liability of an employer for the torts of his employees committed in the course of employment.

When the veil is lifted, the owners' personal assets are exposed to the litigation, just as if the business had been a sole proprietorship or general partnership.
