Section 10A-8-10.08

Section 10A-8-10.08Effect of failure of foreign registered limited liability partnership to register.

The failure of a foreign registered limited liability partnership to file a statement of registration or a notice pursuant to Section 10A-8-10.06 or to appoint and maintain a registered agent in this state shall not impair the validity of any contract or act of the foreign registered limited liability partnership and shall not prevent the foreign registered limited liability partnership from defending any action or proceeding in any court of this state, but the foreign registered limited liability partnership shall not maintain any action or proceeding in any court of this state until it has filed an application for registration. A foreign registered limited liability partnership, by transacting business in this state without registration, appoints the Secretary of State as its agent for service of process with respect to causes of action arising out of the transaction of business in this state. The liability of the partners of a foreign registered limited liability partnership is governed by the laws of the state or other jurisdiction under whose laws it was formed, and any limitations on that liability are not waived solely by reason of having transacted business in this state without registration. The Attorney General may bring an action to restrain a foreign limited liability partnership from transacting business in this state in violation of this chapter.
