Gazette Case: Limited Partner Derivative Action

Gazette Case: Shixin Ronghe Investment Management Co., Ltd. v. Chang'an International Trust Co., Ltd. et al.

The SPC Gazette confirms that when the managing partner of a limited partnership fails to assert the partnership's rights, a non-managing limited partner may sue in its own name for the benefit of the partnership. After a proper demand on the partnership and the managing partner goes unanswered, the court may recognize the limited partner's standing.
