In this paper we investigate and refine Liu's procedure for the exploitation of the entropy inequality. We give a new-old proof of Liu's theorem. We shortly compare the Coleman-Noll and Liu techniques and call the attention to the proper application of the constraints in the procedure. As an example the Ginzburg-Landau equation and some variants are derived.
