Nebraska Statutes 21-521. Claim seeking to disregard limitation of liability
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this section, a claim seeking to disregard a limitation in section 21-520 is governed by the principles of law and equity, including a principle providing a right to a creditor or holding a person liable for a debt, obligation, or other liability of another person, which would apply if each protected series of a series limited liability company were a limited liability company formed separately from the series limited liability company and distinct from the series limited liability company and any other protected series of the series limited liability company.
