Part 2 – Limited partnerships etc Dissolution, winding up and sequestration Section 132: Winding up dissolved limited partnerships
This section inserts new section 29 into the Limited Partnership Act 1907 which provides that where a limited partnership has been dissolved but not wound up properly, a court may make any order it considers appropriate in relation to winding up the limited partnership.
	The court can make these orders where an application has been made by the Secretary of State, Scottish Ministers in relation to a Scottish limited partnership, the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland in relation to a Northern Irish limited partnership, or any other person appearing to the court with a sufficient interest.
	Further, new section 29 requires that the Secretary of State must consult Scottish Ministers before making an application in respect of a Scottish Limited Partnership, and the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland before making an application in respect of a Northern Irish limited partnership.
	These amendments ensure that the affairs of the limited partnership are wound up and it can then subsequently be deregistered, which helps keep the register of limited partnerships up to date.
