Sec. 205.

If a person required by section 204 to execute a certificate of amendment, a restated certificate of limited partnership, or a certificate of cancellation fails or refuses to do so, any other partner, and any assignee of a partnership interest, who is adversely affected by the failure or refusal, may petition the circuit court of the county in which the office referred to in section 105(a)(1) is located to direct the amendment, restatement, or cancellation. If the court finds that the amendment, restatement, or cancellation is proper and that any person so designated has failed or refused to execute the certificate, it shall order the administrator to record an appropriate certificate of amendment, restated certificate of limited partnership, or certificate of cancellation, and the court may require the person who has failed or refused to execute the certificate to pay to the petitioner the reasonable expenses, including court costs and fees of attorneys, incurred by him or her with respect to the proceedings. The certificate of limited partnership is amended on the effective date of the certificate of amendment or restated certificate of limited partnership effecting an amendment, and the certificate of limited partnership is canceled on the effective date of the certificate of cancellation, as provided in section 206.
