unliquidated
Debt amount undetermined
Unliquidated describes a debt, claim, or obligation whose exact amount has not yet been determined.
In legal contexts, unliquidated damages are those that require assessment or calculation, as opposed to liquidated damages specified in advance by contract: The court must determine the unliquidated claims before proceeding.
The term appears almost exclusively in legal and financial writing.
