§ 13.1-1099.8. Claim seeking to disregard limitation of liability
A. Except as otherwise provided in subsection B, a claim seeking to disregard a limitation in § 13.1-1099.7 is governed by the principles of law and equity, including a principle providing a right to a creditor or holding a person liable for a debt, obligation, or other liability of another person, that would apply if each protected series of a series limited liability company were a limited liability company formed separately from the series limited liability company and distinct from the series limited liability company and any other protected series of the series limited liability company.
