English term or phrase: contingent liability

Felsorolásban szerepel, nem nagyon tudok szövegkörnyezetet adni. Vasútról van szó, és nem a szolgáltatói felelősség. Lehetséges, hogy ez az, amikor szerződésben a törvényesnél nagyobb felelősséget vállalnak be?

feltételes kötelezettség

Explanation:
Eltérő magyarázatokat találtam rá. Ez tűnik a legátfogóbbnak és leglogikusabbnak:

A contingent liability is:

A.
a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise; or

B.
a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:

1.
it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

2.
the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
