620.8405 Actions by partnership and partners.
(1) A partnership may maintain an action against a partner for a breach of the partnership agreement, or for the violation of a duty to the partnership, causing harm to the partnership.
(2) A partner may maintain an action against the partnership or another partner for legal or equitable relief, with or without an accounting as to partnership business, to:
(a) Enforce such partner’s rights under the partnership agreement;
(b) Enforce such partner’s rights under this act, including:
1. Such partner’s rights under s. 620.8401, s. 620.8403, or s. 620.8404;
2. Such partner’s right upon dissociation to have the partner’s interest in the partnership purchased pursuant to s. 620.8701 or enforce any other right under ss. 620.8601-620.8705; or
3. Such partner’s right to compel a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business under s. 620.8801 or enforce any other right under ss. 620.8801-620.8807; or
(c) Enforce the rights and otherwise protect the interests of such partner, including rights and interests arising independently of the partnership relationship.
(3) The accrual of, and any time limitation on, a right of action for a remedy under this section is governed by other law. A right to an accounting upon a dissolution and winding up does not revive a claim barred by law.

The final order of dismissal below was entered on November 2, 1995. No party has argued the applicability of section 620.8405(2) to this action. Further, because the law in effect at the time of dismissal, and not the 1996 amendment, applies to the instant action, we do not address section 620.8405(2) here....

Vicken Bedoyan v. Harout Samra (Fla. 3d DCA 2022).

Published | Florida 3rd District Court of Appeal

...Samra raised common law claims of breach of the partnership agreement and breach of fiduciary duty, an equitable claim for an accounting, and a statutory claim demanding a buyout of his partnership interest under the Revised Uniform Partnership Act of 1995 (“RUPA”), 1 section 620.8405, 1 As explained in Larmoyeux v....

Efron v. Milton, 892 So. 2d 497 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004).

Published | Florida 3rd District Court of Appeal | 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 8739, 2004 WL 1393535

...3d DCA 1998); Miller v. Taplin, 692 So.2d 932 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); Dahlawi v. Ramlawi, 644 So.2d 523, 524 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994). As such, the trial court was eminently correct in abating the actions at law, and we affirm on this issue. Efron also maintains that section 620.8405(2), Florida Statutes, of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA) allows him to pursue his legal claims against the defendants with or without an accounting to the partnership business and cites Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corp. v. Southern Oaks Health Care, Inc., 732 So.2d 1156, 1159, n. 4 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), in support of his position. We believe his argument is misplaced. First, Efron did not argue the applicability of section 620.8405(2) below but raises it now for the first time on appeal....
