Full text of Vermont Vermont Statutes Online § 3442 — Liability for contribution, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 3442. Liability for contribution
- (a) A promise by a limited partner to contribute to the limited partnership is not enforceable
unless set out in a writing signed by the limited partner. (b) Except as provided in the partnership agreement, a partner is obligated to the limited
partnership to perform any enforceable promise to contribute cash or property or to
perform services, even if he or she is unable to perform because of death, disability,
or any other reason. If a partner does not make the required contribution of property
or services, he or she is obligated at the option of the limited partnership to contribute
cash equal to that portion of the value, as stated in the partnership records required
to be kept pursuant to section 3405 of this title, of the stated contribution which has not been made. (c) Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, the obligation of a partner
to make a contribution or return money or other property paid or distributed in violation
of this chapter may be compromised only by consent of all partners. Notwithstanding
the compromise, a creditor of a limited partnership who extends credit or otherwise
acts in reliance on that obligation after the partner signs a writing which reflects
the obligation and before the amendment or cancellation thereof to reflect the compromise
may enforce the original obligation. (Added 1997, No. 149 (Adj. Sess.), § 4, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.)
