What is considered a "contingent" loan?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kujala v. Pastulovic, 2021 BCCRT 119 (CanLII):

28. A loan that is repayable when the borrower “is able to pay” is considered a “contingent loan”. If the contingency – being able to pay – does not happen within a reasonable time, the loan nonetheless becomes payable after the passing of a reasonable period of time: Bellamy v. Ward, 2011 BCSC 551.
