Best Answer

If the "limited partner" was serving in that capacity at the time of whatever it was that occurred, they continue to enjoy limited immunity for THAT SPECIFIC event even though they may no longer be associated with the business. They are only personally liable for events that preceded or post-dated their limited partner capacity.

Can a pvt limited company be a partner in partnership firm?

Liability of a Pvt limited Company is limited - a mith. The fact is that liability of a share holder of a limited company is limited to the extent of value of the shares. In other words, the other assets of the shareholder can not attached for default of the company. So the liability of a limited company is limited to the assets of the company, not limited to the face value of the shares. On the other hand the partner of a partnership company has unlimited liability. i.e., the assets of the partner can be attached in case of default. Similarly, when a pvt limited company is a partner the liability of the company is unlimited and to the extent of assets of the company not to the assets of individual shareholders. So a limited company is a legal entity and can become a partner or proprietor of a firm.

The partner's assets are normally not accessable if the Partnership goes BK....that the limited part of the liability in the name. However, if the partner goes BK (as you stated) the partnership isn't directly involved...but the partners interest in the partnership is an asset in his BK that may be used to pay creditors. (The LLP can end up with a partner it doesn't know).
