commandite f (plural commandites)

1. (law, business) a type of limited partnership in France, Quebec, and elsewhere; its full legal name is a société en commandite (SCS)
   • 2013, Boardroom Scandal: The Criminalization of Company Fraud in Nineteenth-Century Britain‎, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 100:

     Robert Slaney, a backbench Liberal MP interested in improving the condition of the poor, secured the appointment of select committees in 1850 and 1851 on outlets for the savings of the middle and working classes, and the law of partnership. Both were essentially opportunities for Slaney to agitate for what Ludlow dismissively called his ’special hobby’—the legalization of en commandite companies, popular in France, in which the liability of directors and managing partners only was unlimited, the rest of the investors enjoying limited liability.
