English term

more limited

English Law/Patents Finance (general) Limited Partnership Agreement
please rephrase/paraphrase:
Therefore, a Limited Partner may have a more limited right of action against the General Partner than he would have absent these provisions in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

The complete Agreement: http://wenku.baidu.com/view/f9b144d7b14e852458fb5763.html?fr... (Page 22, Line 13)

Does it mean: Therefore, a Limited Partner may have a more limited right of action against the General Partner than the General Partner would have than the Limited Partner if there were no these provisions in the Limited Partnership Agreement? Why may LP have more limited right of action?

Thank you very much!

fewer rights to take action ...

"a Limited Partner may have fewer rights to take action and fewer options for action against the General Partner than he would have if we didn't include these provisions in the Limited Partnership Agreement"

HOWEVER the original text does make sense in the context in which it's written, so this explanation should just be used to confirm you understand what it means, and the original text, which was probably carefully written by lawyers, should be used for whatever purpose it's intended.

"he" refers to the Limited Partner, not the General partner

I think it means:
Therefore, a Limited Partner may have a more limited right of action against the General Partner than he (the Limited Partner) would have were it not for these provisions in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

The reference you give is in Chinese, which makes me wonder if you meant to post this as an English-Chinese question.

agree B D Finch : Though "absent" in the source text is a bit odd, this is clearly what is meant..
