80: Inspector’s report admissible in liquidation proceedings

You could also call this:

"A court can use an inspector's report as evidence when deciding what to do with a limited partnership that's being closed down."

Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

If you are involved in a court case about a limited partnership being liquidated, a report from an inspector can be used as evidence. This report must have been prepared by the inspector after they carried out an inspection under section 78, or after a disclosure under section 78F, 78G, or 78H. The court can consider this report when deciding whether to appoint a liquidator to the limited partnership.
