(Added to NRS by 2007, 457)

NRS 87A.355 General partner agent of limited partnership.

1. Each general partner is an agent of the limited partnership for the purposes of its activities. An act of a general partner, including the signing of a record in the partnership’s name, for apparently carrying on in the ordinary course the limited partnership’s activities or activities of the kind carried on by the limited partnership binds the limited partnership, unless the general partner did not have authority to act for the limited partnership in the particular matter and the person with which the general partner was dealing knew, had received a notification or had notice under subsection 4 of NRS 87A.150 that the general partner lacked authority.

2. An act of a general partner which is not apparently for carrying on in the ordinary course the limited partnership’s activities or activities of the kind carried on by the limited partnership binds the limited partnership only if the act was actually authorized by all the other partners.

If, in the course of the limited partnership’s activities or while acting with authority of the limited partnership, a general partner receives or causes the limited partnership to receive money or property of a person not a partner, and the money or property is misapplied by a general partner, the limited partnership is liable for the loss.

A general partner is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for such an obligation solely by reason of being or acting as a general partner. This subsection applies despite anything inconsistent in the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the consent required to become a registered limited-liability limited partnership under paragraph (b) of subsection 2 of NRS 87A.375.

1. To the extent not inconsistent with NRS 87A.365, a general partner may be joined in an action against the limited partnership or named in a separate action.

(b) The limited partnership is a debtor in bankruptcy;

(e) Liability is imposed on the general partner by law or contract independent of the existence of the limited partnership.

(Added to NRS by 2007, 458)

NRS 87A.375 Management rights of general partner.

(a) To account to the limited partnership and hold as trustee for it any property, profit or benefit derived by the general partner in the conduct and winding up of the limited partnership’s activities or derived from a use by the general partner of limited partnership property, including the appropriation of a limited partnership opportunity;

(b) To refrain from dealing with the limited partnership in the conduct or winding up of the limited partnership’s activities as or on behalf of a party having an interest adverse to the limited partnership; and

(c) To refrain from competing with the limited partnership in the conduct or winding up of the limited partnership’s activities.

3. A general partner’s duty of care to the limited partnership and the other partners in the conduct and winding up of the limited partnership’s activities is limited to refraining from engaging in grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
