(2) This subsection applies in relation to P if— (a)within the period of two years ending with the commencement of the special administration, P was a member of the limited liability partnership who withdrew property of the limited liability partnership, whether in the form of a share of profits, salary, repayment of or payment of interest on a loan to the limited liability partnership or any other withdrawal of property, and (b)it is proved by the administrator to the satisfaction of the court that at the time of the withdrawal P knew or had reasonable ground for believing that the limited liability partnership— (i)was at the time of the withdrawal unable to pay its debts, or (ii)would become so unable to pay its debts after the assets of the limited liability partnership had been depleted by that withdrawal taken together with all other withdrawals (if any) made by any members contemporaneously with that withdrawal or in contemplation when that withdrawal was made. (3) Where this section has effect in relation to P, the court, on the application of the administrator, may declare that P is to be liable to make such contribution (if any) to the limited liability partnership’s assets as the court thinks proper. (4) The court may not make a declaration in relation to P the amount of which exceeds the aggregate of the amounts or values of all the withdrawals referred to in subsection (2) made by P within the period of two years referred to in that subsection. (5) The court may not make a declaration under this section with respect to P unless P knew or ought to have concluded that after each withdrawal referred to in subsection (2) there was no reasonable prospect that the limited liability partnership would avoid going into an insolvency procedure under the IA 1986 or special administration. (6) For the purposes of subsection (5) the facts which P ought to know or ascertain and the conclusions which P ought to reach are those which would be known, ascertained, or reached by a reasonably diligent person having both— (a)the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by P in relation to the limited liability partnership, and (b)the general knowledge, skill and experience that P has. (7) In this section “member” includes a shadow member.
