Explains that if application is made to the wrong praetor by mistake, the proceedings are void, citing Julian's opinion that those who act in error cannot be said to consent.
[IDEM libro secundo de omnibus tribunalibus.]
[THE SAME, on All Tribunals, Book II.]
Si per errorem alius pro alio praetor fuerit aditus,1 nihil ualebit quod actum est. nec enim ferendus est qui dicat2 consensisse eos in praesidem, cum, ut Iulianus scribit, non consentiant qui errent:3 quid enim tam contrarium consensui est quam error, qui imperitiam detegit?
If, through error, one praetor has been approached instead of another, what has been done will be of no validity. For anyone who says that they agreed to the governor as judge is not to be tolerated, since, as Julian writes, those who err do not consent. For what is so contrary to consent as error, which reveals ignorance?
- 2.1.15.pralius pro alio praetor fuerit aditus
This phrase literally means "if one praetor has been approached instead of another." aditus fuerit is the perfect passive subjunctive of adire (to approach, apply to a magistrate), here acting in a conditional clause. alius modifies praetor, and pro alio implies pro alio praetore.
- 2.1.15.prnec enim ferendus est qui dicat
ferendus est is a gerundive of obligation meaning "is to be tolerated," negated here by nec. The verb dicat in the relative clause qui dicat is in the subjunctive of characteristic, defining the type of person who is not to be tolerated.
- 2.1.15.prnon consentiant qui errent
consentiant is in the subjunctive because it is introduced by the causal conjunction cum. The subjunctive errent in the relative clause can be explained either as a subjunctive of characteristic (referring to "those who are in error as a class") or as a result of modal attraction (attractio modi) within the subordinate clause.
