carrying on business

carrying on business
A term with a meaning variable according to the context within which it appears and the circumstances under which it is used, but in any event it is something more than isolated transactions. Kirkwood v Gadd (Eng) [1910] A.C. 422, 432. It is the pursuing of business as an enterprise embracing many transactions and to which one usually devotes both time and skill. 27 Am J1st H & W § 474. The carrying on of a liquor business invokes transactions ex-tending over a considerable period of time, except where one has made all preparations, holds himself out as a dealer, and has solicited trade. 30 Am J Rev ed Intox L § 217. See doing business; doing business in state.
