due, liquid and payable Explanation: Liquid: A debt is liquid where it is for a certain settled amount and is immediately payable to the debtor. In compensation the debts must both be liquid, or capable of immediate liquidation. A debt is deemed liquid when it is actually due and the amount ascertained, 'Cum certum an et quantum debeatur.' But if the debt itself be contested, and the creditor has not his proof ready; or if the amount is disputed, and it depend on a long discussion what is to be adjudged due; the debtor will not be allowed to avoid the payment of what is liquid and due till that litigation be terminated. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200304/ldjudgmt/j...

amount due, realizable, and demandable Explanation: The viewpoint is that of the bank as creditor. The bank cannot determine offhand that the debt is "liquid", and the synonym "realizable" (see thesaurus.reference.com) seems to be the more appropriate adjective in this context. |
