QUOAD RELIQUUM

quoad reliquum (kwoh-ad rel-<<schwa>>-kw<<schwa>>m). [Latin] Hist. With regard to the

remainder.

“When a debtor, in an action brought against him by his creditor, pleads compensation to a

certain extent of the debt sued for, quoad the sum due to him … the creditor’s right of action falls;

but quoad reliquum, after making deduction of the sum pled in compensation, the creditor’s right

of action remains.” John Trayner, Trayner’s Latin Maxims 526 (4th ed. 1894). [Blacks Law 8^th]
