Frank Kolk was the manager of Triples American Grill, a sports bar and restaurant. Kolk and John Baines opened bank accounts in the name of the bar, each signing the account signature cards as "owner." Baines was often at the bar and had free access to its office. Baines told others that he was "an owner" and "a partner." Kolk told Steve Mager, the president of Cheesecake Factory, Inc., that Baines was a member of a partnership that owned Triples. On this basis, Cheesecake delivered its goods to Triples on credit. In fact, the bar was owned by a corporation. When the unpaid account totaled more that $20,000, Cheesecake filed a suit in New Mexico state court against Baines to collect. ON what basis might Baines be liable to Cheesecake? What does Cheesecake have to show to win its case? [Cheesecake Factory, Inc. v. Baines, 964 P.2d 183 (N.M.App. 1998)]
