It is ruled that one may disobey with impunity a magistrate who attempts to exercise jurisdiction outside his territory or beyond his authority.
[PAULUS libro primo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, on the Edict, Book I.]
Extra territorium ius dicenti impune non paretur.1 idem est, et si supra iurisdictionem suam uelit ius dicere.
One who exercises jurisdiction outside his territory may be disobeyed with impunity. The same is true even if he wishes to exercise jurisdiction beyond his authority.
- 2.1.20.prius dicenti ... non paretur
paretur is the impersonal passive of the intransitive verb parere (to obey), which takes the dative of person ius dicenti (the dative singular of the present participle ius dicens, 'to the one administering justice'). Combined with the adverb impune (with impunity), it literally means 'it is not obeyed with impunity to the one administering justice', which functions as 'one may disobey the administrator of justice with impunity'.
