A, B, C and D are the partners of Alpha LLP and have equal share in the profits and losses of the LLP. A has made an agreement to transfer 70% of his share in the profits of Alpha LLP to his daughter X. X wanted to access information about the trading transactions of Alpha LLP claiming that she is entitled to the information as she receives a percentage of profits from the LLP. The partners refused to grant her access. Does X have any remedy against the denial according to the provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008? Are the partners correct in denying access to X?

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Whether X has any remedy against the denial? According to section 42 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, the rights of a partner to a share of the profits and losses of the limited liability partnership and to receive distributions in accordance with the limited liability partnership agreement are transferable either wholly or in part. The transfer of right pursuant to this section does not, by itself, entitle the transferee or assignee to participate in the management or conduct of the activities of the limited liability partnership, or access information concerning the transactions of the limited liability partnership. In the given question, the partners of Alpha LLP are correct in denying access of information about trading transactions to X (daughter of A). X does not have any remedy against the denial by the partners of Alpha LLP.
