Best Answer

A method of equally and proportionately allocating money, profits or liabilities by percentage. For example, if a gas company is found to have overcharged consumers and is subsequently forced to pay rebates, each consumer would get an amount proportionate to the amount he or she overpaid in the first place. Specifically, it's Latin for "according to the rate"; method of proportionate allocation.

In bankruptcy it indicates the percentage or share of the debtor's assets/money that is paid to each creditor. In Insurance it indicates cancellation of an insurance policy or bond by the insurer with the return premium credit being the full proportion of premium for the unexpired term of the policy.
