English term
"pro rata" vs "proportionally"
Non-PRO
English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
bank acquisition
Is there any difference between the two terms?
I have this sentence in a legal text:
"...and an obligation to effect a Damage Payment **pro rata** to their respective allocated portion of the Purchase Price and **proportionally** to their respective shareholding at the date of this Agreement. "

no, I think not
pro rata means "in proportion", so I can't see that there is any difference between the two terms in the context you refer to.
