latest article posted
in the “Cracking the Code Interactive Newsletter,” by Robert
Glantz and George Spathis, "New York Court Reels in Offshore Limited
Partnerships that Failed to Make Appropriate Distributions to Former Partners."
In In re Paper I Partners L.P., (283 B.R.661), a New York bankruptcy court
upheld the right of former limited partners to commence involuntary cases
under chapter 7 against "foreign" limited partnerships that
had failed to make the appropriate distributions to its former partners
following their withdrawal. The two affiliated limited partnerships were
formed for the sole purpose of acquiring the publicly traded securities
of a Swiss corporation.
