(2) Within 30 days after service of the notice of denial, the limited partnership may appeal from the denial of reinstatement by petitioning the circuit court to set aside the dissolution. The petition must be served on the Department of State and contain a copy of the Department of State’s declaration of dissolution, the limited partnership’s application for reinstatement, and the Department of State’s notice of denial.
(3) The court may summarily order the Department of State to reinstate the dissolved limited partnership or may take other action the court considers appropriate.
