Examples
in law and economics include the following noted below.
Torts
When
liability for a toxic tort or products liability concerns many
manufacturers, the liability under tort law is allocated
proportionally.
When
a college student withdraws, colleges almost always refund
tuition payments on a pro-rata basis.
Partnership
liability
Each
of several partners "is liable for his own share or
proportion only, they are said to be bound pro rata. An example
... may be found in the liabilty of partners; each is liable ...
only pro rata in relation to between themselves."
Bankruptcy
law
When
a debtor files for bankruptcy, and "the debtor is insolvent,
creditors generally agree to accept a pro rata share of what is
owed to them. If the debtor has any remaining funds, the money is
divided proportionately among the creditors, according to the
amount of the individual debts." "A creditor of an
insolvent estate is to be paid pro rata with creditors of the
same class."
In
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court practice, the creditors often agree to
settle for a pro-rata share at the so-called 341 meeting of
creditors, named for the section of the Bankruptcy Code, without
a formal hearing before a judge, and sometimes without even a
trustee present.
Insurance
In
insurance, pro rata is used to determine risk based on the time
the insurance policy is in effect. It may also be used to
describe proportional liability when more than one person is
responsible for a loss or accident.
