§ 79-14-207. Liability for false statement in certificate.
(a) If a certificate of limited partnership or certificate of amendment, dissolution or cancellation contains a false statement, one who suffers loss by reliance on the statement may recover damages for the loss from:
(1) A person who signed the certificate, or caused another to sign it on his behalf, and knew, and a general partner who knew or should have known, the statement to be false at the time the certificate was signed; and
(2) A general partner who knew or should have known after the filing of the certificate that an arrangement or other fact described in the certificate had changed, making the statement in the filed certificate inaccurate in any respect, within a reasonably sufficient time before the statements were relied upon to have enabled that general partner to amend, dissolve or cancel the certificate, or to file a petition for its amendment, dissolution or cancellation under Section 79-14-205.
(b) Except as provided in Section 79-14-402(b), no person shall have any liability for failing pursuant to subsection (a)(2) of this section to cause the amendment, dissolution or cancellation of a certificate to be filed or failing to file a petition for its amendment, dissolution or cancellation pursuant to subsection (a)(2) of this section if the certificate of amendment, certificate of dissolution, certificate of cancellation or petition is filed by the Secretary of State within thirty (30) days of when that person knew or should have known to the extent provided in subsection (a)(2) of this section that the statement in the certificate was inaccurate in any respect.
