In liquidation, contingent liabilities are to be treated as unsecured creditors ? If yes why?

No bro, it depends on the question


For example, if the question says that contingent liability is there related to workmen dues, then what u will do bro?,

But if say, if they given any bill discounted as contingent liability, then we will take into unsecured creditors

Yes.Because contingent liabilities are not secured by charge on the assets.They may or may not arise as liability.So they are unsecured.

If a contingent liability is being crystalised, apply the rules of what you would do with normal creditors.
