ulrika norberg
partnership / affectio societatis
Explanation:
The Affectio Societatis
This is the French legal concept that means that two people or more share the same idea, and personally commit themselves to achieving the purpose of the association.

The combining of contributions and the sharing of profits are not always enough to distinguish a contract of partnership from other juridical acts, such as association[24] and indivision.[25] The courts and legal authors have therefore added an indispensable subjective criterion: the intention to be involved in a partnership or affectio societatis, which is enshrined in the new Civil Code by the expression «spirit of cooperation

disagree  Lumen (X): Affectio societatis is the Latin expression meaning that two people wish to enter into a partnership. It is, to be accurate, the "animus" (a word that is frequently used in jurisprudence, the mind, in the meaning of intention) to constitute a society.

agree  Zrinka Milas: It is, to be accurate, the "animus" (a word that is frequently used in jurisprudence, the mind, in the meaning of will, intention) to constitute a society. Similar to this: affectio maritalis- the wish and intention to live like husband and wife.
