1. Petition. If a person required by this chapter to sign a record or deliver a record to the office of the Secretary of State for filing under this chapter does not do so, any other person that is aggrieved by such failure to sign may petition the Kennebec County Superior Court to order:
A. The person to sign the record;
B. The person to deliver the record to the office of the Secretary of State for filing; or
C. The Secretary of State to file the record unsigned.
2. Party to action. If a petitioner under subsection 1 is not the limited liability company or foreign limited liability company to whom the record pertains, the petitioner shall make the limited liability company or foreign limited liability company a party to the action. A person aggrieved under subsection 1 may seek the remedies provided in subsection 1 in a separate action against the person required to sign the record or as a part of any other action concerning the limited liability company in which the person required to sign the record is made a party.
3. Reasonable expenses. A court may award reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, to the party or parties who prevail, in whole or in part, with respect to any claim made under subsection 1.
