Vom Grundsatz der komplementärgleichen Kommanditistenhaftung

The relationship between the rule and the exception in the case of liability and limitation on liability in the law pertaining to the limited partnership is one of the most difficult issues in corporate law. Christof Lehnen shows that up to now the way this has been mainly understood was diametrically opposed to the intention of the law. He develops an explanatory model to describe the principles of liability intrinsic to the limited partnership and in comparison to the partnership under the Civil Code, a model which is in keeping with the principles.
