Limited Liability Partnership

This chapter considers the requirements needed to become a member of a limited liability partnership (LLP) under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (LLP Act). The term ‘member’ of an LLP is used to distinguish them from partners, directors, or shareholders. Since the law applicable to LLPs derives mainly from adaptations from both company law and partnership law, members of an LLP are nevertheless treated as substituting for the role of partner, director, officer, or shareholder depending upon the relevant provision. For the various controls imposed on LLPs and for winding up, members can take the place either of shareholders, directors, or both. The chapter analyses members of an LLP as employees and workers. It then outlines the duties of members of an LLP and to each other as stated in Section 5 of the LLP Act.

Normative Implications

THE concept of ownership is a complex, powerful and controversial idea. In law it explains, justifies and gives moral force to a host of rights and duties as well as serving to legitimate the allocation of wealth and privilege. The influence of this idea is, furthermore, everywhere embodied in the law. In company law, legal and economic conceptions have both rested on and have been shaped by the normative implications of ownership. Historically, ownership was the principal explanation and justification for the central role of shareholders in corporate affairs. As owners, shareholders were entitled to control the management of the company and to the exclusive benefit of the company's activities. Ownership also served to legitimate the corporate form itself. So long as it was owned by individuals the economic and political power of the company was both benign and a bulwark against the intrusion of the state.

This chapter describes the role of the directors. The duties of the directors are owed to the company and while the shareholders are the primary indirect beneficiaries of those duties, the law integrates the interests of creditors and also of wider society. The law is primarily focused on ensuring compliance with the Companies Act and the constitution rather than with the enhancement of economic interests. The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 serves as a mechanism through which the public interest is integrated into company law, while the UK Corporate Governance Code adds a further procedural dimension to the operation of the board of directors. The chapter then looks at how the idea of designing remuneration in a way that guides the directors to act either for the benefit of the shareholder or for the benefit of the company is flawed and has served as a motor justifying increasing rewards without bringing about commensurate increases in performance. It also analyses the duties of the directors to keep accounting records and to produce financial reports.

The Law

Because of limited liability, creditor protection has always been a feature of company law. Large creditors can contract ex ante for customised protection and the law facilitates this in various ways, notably by the creation of the floating charge. Non-adjusting creditors require the protection of mandatory rules, at least in some situations. Creditor protection in relation to companies in the vicinity of insolvency is now well established, not only through ‘wrongful trading’ but also via transaction invalidity rules and directors’ disqualification. For going-concern companies the emphasis is on rules restricting the shifting assets to shareholders via distributions and associated rules relating to the maintenance of capital.

Limited Liability Partnership

The indirect placement of a limited partner’s surname in business name of a limited liability partnershipIn the limited liability partnership, whose general partner is a non-natural person, there is a possibility that in its business name may occur an indirect placement of a limited partner’s surname when general partner’s business name contains surname of a limited partner. Accordance to art. 104 § 3 of Polish Code of Commercial Companies CCC limited liability partnership’s business name shall contain full business name of at least one of its general partners who are non-natural persons. In the result art. 104 § 4 CCC is infringed by the force of the law itself. This conflict of laws can be resolved by application of either lingual or functional interpretations of these contracting to each other provisions. Due to the needs of business practice, more liberal approach to the application of art. 104 § 4 should be adopted. Additionally, it would be wrong to punish entities who are acting in accordance with law for obeying it. Finally, the indirect placement of a limited partner’s surname in the business name of a limited liability partnership shall not result in holding limited partner liable for its debts.

Legal Consequences

This research was conducted to find out how the directors' accountability mechanism caused by an error or negligence caused the limited company to go bankrupt and how the legal consequences on the bankruptcy of a limited liability company. This type of research was classified as a normative legal research or also called doctrinal research, namely research that examined the law as a separate system that was separate from various other systems in society so as to provide a boundary between the legal system with other systems. The approach method used was the statutory approach; and Conceptual Approach. In principle, the Board of Directors was not personally responsible for acts committed for and on behalf of the company based on its authority. The scope of conduct that would be personally accounted for by the directors of the company was negligence because the directors did not fulfill the contents of the agreement and mistakes because the directors commit acts against the law. Bankruptcy of a Limited Liability Company was the bankruptcy of itself, not the bankruptcy of its management, even though the bankruptcy was due to the negligence of its management. So that management should not be held liable jointly for any losses due to negligence and could only be held accountable if the company's assets were not sufficient to cover losses due to bankruptcy Article 90 paragraph (2) of the Limited Liability Company Law).

The use of nominee shares through nominee shares agreement has grown and developed well in the investing world, especially within the investors who establish PT. PMA. In short, the concept of nominee shares are done by both localand foreign investors. One of the causes of the nominee shares usageis because there is no rules in the Company Law that regulate, prohibit, and unequivocally ban the nominee shares by making the stock agreement. The law of prohibition to make nominee shares agreement or stock statement can only be found in the Capital Market Law, Article 33 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2). This research is a normative legal research that moves from the void norm within our laws. The approach used in this study is the legislation and analytic approach. The legal materials in this study are taken from the primary materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The results of this study indicate the cause of the nominee shares usage by making nominee stock agreement, has already stated in the Company Law. However, it only explainsthe requirement that the PT has to be founded by two (2) or more persons, it does not give any detail requirements of how to be the shareholders. Other than to fill the Company Law, by filling the requirement of the PT establishment,the use of nominee agreement is due to the restriction of the line business for PT. PMA. The void of the norm has resulted in the violation within the limited liability company, in which one of the shareholders in PT. PMA is not the actual owner or nominee, but only the registered owner from certain number of shares. The law of prohibition of nominee shares in UUPM is considered inefficient because there is no strict regulations and prohibitions in the Company Law, thus, in practice, the use of nominee shares by making the nominee shares agreementgrows and develops through the simulation or indirect agreement, known as the arrangement agreement.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis asas lex spesialis terkait dengan keharmonis-an Undang-Undang Perseroan Terbatas dalam Pendirian Perseroan Daerah. Perusahaan perseroan daerah merupakan salah satu badan usaha dari sejumlah badan usaha yang dikenal dalam sistem hukum di Indonesia. Ciri khas hukum perusahaan di Indonesia, masing-masing jenis perusahaan diatur dengan undang-undang yang terpisah. BUMD diatur dengan Undang-Undang Pemerintah Daerah, sedangkan perseroan terbatas diatur dengan Undang-Undang Perseroan Terbatas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuri-dis normatif, dengan mendalami upaya harmonisasi hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjuk-kan bahwa perseroan daerah pada dasarnya juga perseroan terbatas yang dapat dimiliki sepenuh sahamnya oleh satu pemerintah daerah, namun dalam UUPT, tidak diakomodir sebagai perseroan terbatas dengan saham tunggal dapat didirikan oleh satu pemerintah daerah. Namun dalam praktiknya sebagian notaris berupaya melakukan terobosan yang kemudian diakui oleh pemerintah dengan memberikan status badan hukum pada perseroan yang didirikan sepenuhnya oleh satu pemerintah daerah sebagai satunya pendirinya Perseroda. Hal ini, menimbulkan pertanyaan hukum, apakah landasan hukum yang dapat digunakan oleh notaris dan pemerintah untuk menerobos UUPT untuk memenuhi kaedah yang terdapat dalam Undang-Undang Pemda. Bringing the Harmony of the Limited Liability Law in the Establishment of Regional Company The purpose of this study is to analyze the lex specialist principle related to the harmony of the Law on Limited Liability Companies in the establishment of regional companies. Regional company is one of business entities in Indonesia legal system. The characteristic of company law in Indonesia is each type of company regulated by a separate law. BUMD (regional company) is regulated by the regional government law while limited liability company is regulated by UUPT. This study uses a normative juridical method, by exploring efforts to harmonize the law. The results showed that the regional company is basically also a limited liability company that can be fully owned by regional government, but based on the company law, it is not accommodated as a limited liability company because the company has only a single share which is one local government. However, in practice some of notaries tried to make a breakthrough which was later recognized by the government by giving legal status to regional company. This raises the question of what legal basis can be used by notaries and the government to break through the company law so that it meets the methods contained in the regional government law.

Limited Liability Partnership

AbstractRegulatory competition in company law has been extensively debated in the last few decades, but it has rarely been discussed whether there could also be regulatory competition in partnership law. This article fills this gap. It addresses the partnership law of the US, the UK, Germany, and France, and presents empirical data on the different types of partnerships and companies established in these jurisdictions. The main focus is on the use of a limited liability partnership (LLP) outside its country of origin. It is also considered whether some regulatory competition can take place in the law of limited partnerships.
