IANAL, but I believe tt really depends on what sort of BUSINESS agreement they had. If it was just a word-of-mouth thing, then no.. the guy can't really sue him for anything. Verbal contracts are shaky at best. If they were an official business operation, like a partnership or a corporation, then him removing his
work would be a tort punishable by corporate law. Whether his partner would actually DO it is another question entirely.
The question I have, tho.. is why he wants to remove his work? So they've had a falling out, but is the designer so bitter that'd he risk his reputation and his ethics to screw this guy out of a fancy design? To be honest it sounds really childish....
