Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 42:1a-19, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 42:1a-19.
a. A partnership may sue and be sued in the name of the partnership. b. An action may be brought against the partnership and, to the extent not inconsistent
with section 18 of this act, 1 any or all of the partners in the same action or in separate actions. c. A judgment against a partnership is not by itself a judgment against a partner. A judgment against a partnership shall not be satisfied from a partner's assets
unless there is also a judgment against the partner. d. A judgment creditor of a partner shall not levy execution against the assets of
the partner to satisfy a judgment based on a claim against the partnership unless
the partner is personally liable for the claim under section 18 of this act and: (1) a judgment based on the same claim has been obtained against the partnership and
a writ of execution on the judgment has been returned unsatisfied in whole or in part; (2) the partnership is a debtor in bankruptcy; (3) the partner has agreed that the creditor need not exhaust partnership assets; (4) a court grants permission to the judgment creditor to levy execution against the
assets of a partner based on a finding that partnership assets subject to execution
are clearly insufficient to satisfy the judgment, that exhaustion of partnership assets
is excessively burdensome, or that the grant of permission is an appropriate exercise
of the court's equitable powers; or (5) liability is imposed on the partner by law or contract independent of the existence
of the partnership. e. This section applies to any partnership liability or obligation resulting from
a representation by a partner or purported partner under section 20 of this act. 2 1
