# O.C.G.A. § 14-9A-126. Parties to actions.

Actions brought by limited partnerships shall be in the name or names of the general partners only. Actions brought against limited partnerships shall be brought against the general partners only, except in cases where the special partners are liable in the same manner as general partners. In such cases, actions may be brought against all the partners jointly or severally; or any one or more of the special partners may be subject to liability in the same action with the general partners.
