Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Action against limited partnership or partner. Subject to subsection 2, a partner may
maintain a direct action against the limited partnership or another partner for legal or equitable relief,
with or without an accounting as to the partnership's activities, to enforce the rights and otherwise
protect the interests of the partner, including rights and interests under the partnership agreement or this
chapter or arising independently of the partnership relationship.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
2. Plead and prove actual or threatened injury. A partner commencing a direct action under
this section is required to plead and prove an actual or threatened injury that is not solely the result of
an injury suffered or threatened to be suffered by the limited partnership.

[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
3. Accrual of right of action; time limitation. The accrual of, and any time limitation on, a right
of action for a remedy under this section is governed by other law. A right to an accounting upon a
dissolution and winding up does not revive a claim barred by law.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
