(a)that the LLP’s affairs are being or have been conducted in a manner that is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of members generally or of some part of its members (including at least himself), or

(b)that an actual or proposed act or omission of the LLP (including an act or omission on its behalf) is or would be so prejudicial.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), a removal of the LLP’s auditor from office—

(a)on grounds of divergence of opinions on accounting treatments or audit procedures, or

(b)on any other improper grounds,

shall be treated as being unfairly prejudicial to the interests of some part of the LLP’s members.

(3) The members of an LLP may by unanimous agreement exclude the right contained in subsection (1) either indefinitely or for such period as is specified in the agreement. The agreement must be recorded in writing.

Petition by Secretary of State

996.(1) If the court is satisfied that a petition under this Part is well founded, it may make such order as it thinks fit for giving relief in respect of the matters complained of.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), the court’s order may—

(a)regulate the conduct of the LLP’s affairs in the future;

(b)require the LLP—

(i)to refrain from doing or continuing an act complained of, or

(ii)to do an act that the petitioner has complained it has omitted to do;

(c)authorise civil proceedings to be brought in the name and on behalf of the LLP by such person or persons and on such terms as the court may direct;

(d)require the LLP or the members of the LLP not to make any, or any specified, alterations in the LLP agreement without the leave of the court;

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
