Unliquidated damages refer to amounts of damages that are not specifically alleged or quantified in a complaint or pleading asserting a claim.

Averments regarding the amount of unliquidated damages are not deemed admitted even if not specifically denied in a responsive pleading.

Preliminary attachment cannot be issued for unliquidated damages.

In a judgment rendered against a party in default, unliquidated damages cannot be awarded. This is because such damages must be proved convincingly with evidence in accordance with the quantum of evidence required in civil cases.

Examples of unliquidated damages include moral and exemplary damages, whose assessment is left to the court's discretion according to the circumstances of each case. Damages sought to be enforced against a surety bond are unliquidated.
