Although there may be differences between "arrangements" and "contracts", I believe that you either have a meaningful, binding agreement between parties that means something to them or you do not. If the evidence does not support the existence of a legally binding agreement, then ultimately it is going to be on a collision course with the limited-recourse debt rules. 2, record 3, English, - binding%20agreement
