Annotations

COMMENT Note to Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act This section permits contributions to the capital of a limited partnership in any form and manner provided in the partnership agreement. Prior Georgia Law Section 14-9A-40 requires contributions by ‘‘cash or other property but not services.’’ Comparison With Official RULPA The section is basically similar to the official version, but makes it even clearer that a capital contribution can be in any form, and can be made in any manner, provided in the partnership agreement. Cross-References Definition of ‘‘contribution’’ to include only capital contributions: § 14-9-101(2). Enforceability and reduction or elimination of capital contribution obligations: § 14-9-502.
