Question 1 John and Julie are husband and wife, employed as marine biologists in Antarctica. The nature of their work means that they work in Antarctica for 6 months of the year, from April to September. When they are not working away, the other 6 months of the year is spent enjoying their free time in Byron Bay. John is an avid surfer who spends many hours each morning surfing. Julie loves yoga and dreams of teaching yoga classes. While working in Antarctica, John and Julie spoke about purchasing a large block of land in Byron Bay near the beach. They planned to build two large townhouses on the property. They discussed how John and Julie could use one townhouse as their place of residence for 6 months of the year, so they could continue doing the things they loved like surfing and yoga. They planned to convert the other townhouse to a dedicated yoga studio. Although Julie would run the yoga classes, they agreed that both would share in the management of the yoga studio and would have equal say in all decisions and profits of the yoga studio. Julie and John prepared a document outlining their ideas which was titled 'Business Plan of J&J Partnership'. John did some online research from Antarctica and found a large vacant block of land in Byron Bay that he thought could be big enough to build two townhouses on. John contacted a company called 'Build your Dream Property' ('BDP'), which specialises in property development and building townhouses. John told BDP about his and Julie's plan and asked that someone inspect the vacant block of land and, assuming two townhouses would fit on the property, to prepare the building plans. John sent the Business Plan of J&J Partnership to BDP to give them a better idea of their specifications and said the partnership would pay their fees for such work. BDP did as John requested and within one week emailed John detailed plans of the two townhouses with a full quote of the costs if they wanted to proceed with the building. BDP attached an invoice for $4,999, addressed to J&J Partnership for the work completed to date.

Question 1 - Advise Julie on whether she was operating a partnership with John.
