The nature of a limited partnership and its legal framework

The nature of a limited partnership and its legal framework Sources of limited partnership law The main body of law governing a limited partnership formed under English law (as opposed to a general partnership, a limited liability partnership or a general partnership formed under Scottish law) is the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 (LPA 1907). However, it is not a complete code of the law on limited partnerships and expressly preserves the provisions of the Partnership Act 1890 (PA 1890) and rules of equity and common law applicable to partnerships, except where they are inconsistent with the express provisions of the LPA 1907. As is the case for general partnerships, there will often be a written agreement between the partners setting out the rights and duties of the partners between themselves although this is not obligatory, save where the limited partnership is designated as a private fund limited partnership (see Practice Note: Limited partnership agreements). Both the LPA 1907 and the PA 1890 set out a number of provisions that will apply if no specific agreement is entered into. These default provisions or any provision in a written agreement, may be varied by the consent of all the partners and such consent may be either express or inferred from a course of dealing. Other legislation affecting limited partnerships includes the Companies Act 2006, which regulates limited partnership names and trading

Is a Tier 2 (General) migrant (who is not a ‘high earner’) able to hold more than 10% of shares in a company in the same group of the company which sponsors them? Eg a majority stake in a second group company, where that second company would have the option to purchase IP created by the migrant for their role in the sponsoring company?

Is a Tier 2 (General) migrant (who is not a ‘high earner’) able to hold more than 10% of shares in a company in the same group of the company which sponsors them? Eg a majority stake in a second group company, where that second company would have the option to purchase IP created by the migrant for their role in the sponsoring company? Are there any restrictions on a Tier 2 migrant being a director and shareholder of one group company but an employee of another? It is possible for a Tier 2 (General) migrant to hold shares in the company which sponsors them, although they will be prohibited from owning more than 10% of shares in their sponsor’s company unless they are a ‘high earner’ (earning £159,600 or more annually). From a practical perspective, it could be argued that this is a crude rule. Compare, for example, amendments to the 'sole representative of an overseas business' rules in 2020 (see: Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules, CP 232), which introduced a more refined requirement in respect of majority ownership: ‘… [The applicant] does not have a majority stake in, or otherwise own or control, that overseas business, whether that ownership or control is by means of a shareholding, partnership agreement, sole proprietorship or any other arrangement.’ The Tier 2 Policy Guidance (version 07/20) and Immigration Staff Guidance
