Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

When a limited partnership is deregistered, some rules from the Companies Act 1993 apply. These rules are found in sections 324 to 326 of the Companies Act 1993. You need to imagine that when these rules talk about a company, they are actually talking about a limited partnership, and when they talk about a director or a shareholder, they are talking about a general partner or a partner.
