Due (obligation) interpretation determines whether debts are immediately payable or include future or time barred amounts Meaning of due covers obligations owing or claimable and may mean immediate enforceability or debts payable in future; interpretation depends on statutory context. Courts have treated amounts due variably-sometimes including arrears up to an order date and sometimes excluding time barred debts-requiring analysis of purpose, context and textual cues to determine whether due imports immediate payability or broader indebtedness.
