Federal Courts - Diversity of Citizenship Jurisdiction - Limited Partnerships

Authors

Mary Baloh

Abstract

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has held that in a limited partnership the citizenship of both the general and limited partners shall be counted for federal diversity jurisdiction, precluding such federal jurisdiction when complete diversity is absent between all members of the limited partnership and the opposing party.
