HRS §428-410

When a member can sue the company or another member

A member of a limited liability company can sue the company or another member to enforce their rights under the operating agreement or state law, or to protect their own interests. The timing for bringing such a lawsuit is set by other laws, and an accounting at dissolution does not revive a time-barred claim.

The statute, as written — Actions by members

(a) A member may maintain an action against a limited liability company or another member for legal or equitable relief, with or without an accounting as to the company's business, to enforce: (1) The member's rights under the operating agreement; (2) The member's rights under this chapter; and (3) The rights and otherwise protect the interests of the member, including rights and interests arising independently of the member's relationship to the company. (b) The accrual, and any time limited for the assertion, of a right of action for a remedy under this section shall be governed by other laws. A right to an accounting upon dissolution and winding up does not revive a claim barred by law.
