This section explains that an agreement made by an authorized representative or a general administrator has a prejudicial effect on the principal, supported by the fact that they are even permitted to bring lawsuits.
[ULPIANUS libro quarto ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book 4]
Nam et nocere1 constat, siue ei mandaui ut pacisceretur, siue omnium rerum mearum procurator fuit: ut et Puteolanus libro primo adsessoriorum scribit: cum placuit2 eum etiam rem in iudicium deducere.
For it is established that it also has a prejudicial effect, whether I authorized him to make an agreement, or he was the administrator of all my affairs; as Puteolanus also writes in the first book of his Assessoriorum, since it is accepted that he may even bring the matter to trial.
- 2.14.12.prnocere
An infinitive acting as the subject of the impersonal verb constat ("it is established"). Here, nocere is used intransitively, meaning that the agreement concluded by the representative "has a prejudicial effect" or "causes disadvantage" to the principal.
- 2.14.12.prcum placuit
The conjunction cum expresses cause ("since" or "inasmuch as"). The impersonal verb placuit ("it has been accepted/decided") takes the accusative and infinitive clause eum etiam rem in iudicium deducere ("that he may even bring the matter to trial") as its subject.
