N.Y. Partnership Law § 96: Limited partner not liable to creditors

§ 96. Limited partner not liable to creditors. A limited partner

shall not become liable as a general partner unless, in addition to the

exercise of his rights and powers as a limited partner, he takes part in

the control of the business; and the exercise of the rights and powers

granted by subdivision three of section ninety-nine of this chapter

shall not constitute taking part in the control of the business. The

commencement of or other participation by a limited partner in an action

brought pursuant to section one hundred fifteen-a of this article shall

not be deemed to be a taking part in the control of the business within

the meaning of this section.
