The research addressed, in its introduction, an explanation of the concept of the limited partnership, its most important characteristics, and a focus on what concerns the limited partner in these characteristics, from the mechanism of stepping down for one of the partners or others, as well as what relates to his share provided in the company, whether a cash or in-kind share, and what relates to the permissibility of the share being provided by the limited partner in the company for a share in the business.

Followed by the explanation of the responsibility of the limited partner in the limited partnership, and that the basic principle of his responsibility is that it should be within the limits of a share in the capital, and he is not responsible for the company’s debts with all of his money.

However, this liability may turn into unlimited liability - personal and joint - in the right of the silent partner to face the company’s debts in the event that the silent partner interferes in the work of external management, and therefore his interference in external management results in him being liable to others for the company’s debts within the limits of the work that he carries out. And if the silent partner constantly interferes in the work of external management in a way that greatly affects the company’s interests and obligations, then his transgression may be a legitimate reason for him to bear personal and joint liability for all the company’s debts, just like the general partner, and his responsibility should not be limited to the limits of the work he performed due to the difficulty of identifying each work individually, and because of the seriousness that this entails on the company’s interests and obligations, whether vis-à-vis third parties, or vis-à-vis the partners and the company if this interference was without their consent.

The research also addressed the case of the presence of the limited partner’s name in the company’s address, the resulting unlimited liability for the company’s debts against third parties, and the position of the Saudi regulator in this regard.

This study is made up of an introduction, preface, and two topics. The limits of the study were in accordance with the Saudi Companies Law for the year 1443 AH. This study concluded with the most important results and recommendations related to amending or adding to the articles of the Saudi Companies Law regarding the limited partner in the limited partnership.
