The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In a derivative suit, a shareholder [or limited partner] sues on behalf of the corporation [or partnership] for harm done to the corporation [or partnership].” By contrast, a Plaintiff bringing an individual, direct action “must be injured directly or independently of the corporation [or partnership]”____ Thus, when a limited partner alleges wrongs to the limited partnership that indirectly damaged a limited partner by rendering his or her interest in the partnership of lesser value, the partner is required to bring the claim derivatively.”

2. “Like a shareholder in a corporation, a limited partner enjoys limited liability because of the legal form of the limited partnership—and its separate legal existence. In exchange for this limited liability, the limited partner surrenders his or her rights to bring claims for damages to the limited partnership itself, and must bring such claims derivatively or on behalf of the limited partnership.”
