§1.22.5.pr

​Consiliari1 eo tempore quo adsidet negotia tractare in suum quidem auditorium2 nullo modo concessum est, in alienum autem non prohibetur.

​A counselor is by no means permitted to conduct business in his own court during the time he is sitting as an assessor, but he is not prohibited from doing so in that of another.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 1.22.5.prConsiliari

    Dative singular of the noun consiliarius (counselor, assessor). It depends on the impersonal passive verb concessum est (it is permitted), serving as the logical subject (agent) of the infinitive phrase negotia tractare.

  2. 1.22.5.prauditorium

    Refers to a hall of justice, court, or place where hearings are conducted. In the latter half of the sentence, the noun auditorium is understood as omitted after in alienum.
