Despite the best intentions of business partners when a new venture gets going, unfortunately, sometimes partners do more than just drift apart. Sometimes a partner may intentionally or inadvertently sabotage a business for their own gain.
Even though business partners have the right to control the business, absent specific contractual terms, they will also have fiduciary and other legal obligations to each other. As such, if one partner is found to have sabotaged a jointly owned business, they can be liable to the other joint owners for the harms caused and can be sued.
