I came up with a business idea, told my wife the idea and I put it on the back burner and did not pursue it. A couple months later a friend of mine tells me about this business idea he has and it happens to be the same as the one I told my wife. This prompted me to pursue this business and my friend and I started planning it.
We never made a partnership agreement or anything like that. I have since come to realise that I am doing a lot of the planning work and he is not pulling his weight. If I give him something to do, he takes his time and is not working to the pace I wish to pursue this idea. He has contributed very little to the idea since suggesting it to me and what it has developed into I feel I have developed most if not all of it.
Does anyone know if I have any legal grounds under commercial law to pursue this venture on my own?
Thanks
