1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hearn
Carl Aten, Jr. appeals the circuit court’s order finding him personally liable for torts he committed as a member of a limited liability company (LLC). Although this case poses the novel question of whether the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (LLC Act) shields an LLC member from personal liability from his own torts, we save that discussion for another day and find Aten has committed no actionable tort. We therefore reverse the portion of the circuit court’s order which imposes personal liability upon Aten.
