Liquidated sum claims
A liquidated debt is an amount which can be ascertained by calculation or fixed by a scale of charges, or other positive data. By comparison, damages that are not mathematically calculable and which are therefore uncertain and subject to assessment are categorised as unliquidated damages.
Claims for liquidated damages include claims for debts, remuneration, quantum meruit claims, and claims for breach of a contract in which the amount of damages is specified, or can be calculated.
See Liquidated sum claims.
