# O.C.G.A. § 14-9-1001. Right of limited partner to bring action.

A limited partner may maintain an action in the right of a limited partnership to recover a judgment in its favor if general partners with authority to do so have refused to bring the action or an effort to cause those general partners to bring the action is not likely to succeed. The foregoing authority to bring an action in the right of a limited partnership shall not limit any right a limited partner might have under the partnership agreement or otherwise.
