Pecuniary liability generally refers to financial obligations or liabilities that arise from various sources. The main types include contractual liability, which arises from agreements or contracts; tort liability, stemming from wrongful acts or negligence; and statutory liability, which is imposed by law. Additionally, there can be vicarious liability, where one party is held responsible for the actions of another, typically in employer-employee relationships. Each type involves different legal principles and consequences for the liable party.

Pecuniary
Liability may not necessarily be lifted simply because an official repays a government pecuniary liability. While repayment can demonstrate accountability and may influence the perception of culpability, it does not automatically absolve the individual of legal or financial responsibility. Legal consequences often depend on the specific terms of the liability, the governing laws, and any relevant agreements. Therefore, consulting legal counsel is advisable for clarity on the implications of repayment in such situations.
