I haven't read the decision, but it seems to me it should only apply to what the code refers to as member-managed limited liability" companies, because each of the members is treated as a partner.
But with a "manager-managed limited liability company" it is more in the nature of a limited partnership or corporation, so investors who are not managers have no say in the operation of the business, and no liability for obligations of the business, unlike partners in a general partnership.

My personal opinion is that when an LLC is set up in its operating agreement to be like a limited partnership rather than a general partnership, the same rules should apply as with a limited partnership.
A limited partner can, with the agreement of the other partners, become a general partner. But just because he can doesn't mean he should treated like a general partner. Likewise with an LLC, just because a member in theory can have a vote in management doesn't mean he should be treating as having one if he doesn't.
