Definition
Assertion of a right that is subordinate to other rights (such as the rights of a second mortgagee). These claims are lower in precedence than the prior (senior) claims, and a holder of a junior claim can usually be paid only after the holder of the senior claim has been fully paid. Also called subordinated claim.
