Unfortunately, on the opening day, before Harry could take out an insurance policy and before he could make any sales, a customer, Julie, injures herself on business premises and successfully sues for medical bills of $800,000.

If Harry has set the business up as a partnership with Sandra, both partners will be personally liable for the costs of winding up the business and the law suit. O d. If the business is set up as a company, the customer, Julie, will receive $400,000 towards her medical bill. O e. If the business is set up as a sole trader, Julie will receive $500,000
