A partner may maintain a derivative action in the Superior Court to enforce a right of a limited partnership if: (1) The partner first makes a demand on the general partners, requesting that they cause the limited partnership to bring an action to enforce the right, and the general partners do not bring the action within a reasonable time; or (2) A demand would be futile.
