Two people come to beis din. Reuven comes on behalf of the claimant, Levi, for whom he has a legal power-of-attorney. Levi himself is incapacitated and is unable to come to bais din himself. Can the defendant, Shimon, say “lav baal devarim didi at” , you are not my litigant, and refuse to deal with Reuven?

Reuven and Shimon are friends. Reuven is a Rosh Yeshiva and Shimon is a successful businessman. Shimon wants to help Reuven, so he offers him an opportunity to be a partner in his business. Over the next few months, Shimon regularly sends Reuven money for his share in the partnership. One day, Shimon’s manager informs Reuven that the partnership is over and he will not be sending him any more distributions. Does Reuven have a legal claim to his share in the business?
