§2.15.11.pr

​Post rem iudicatam etiam si prouocatio non est interposita, tamen si negetur iudicatum esse1 uel ignorari potest an iudicatum sit:2 quia adhuc lis subesse possit, transactio fieri potest.

​After a judgment, even if no appeal has been interposed, nevertheless, if it is denied that a judgment was rendered, or if it can be unknown whether a judgment was rendered, a compromise can be made, because a lawsuit can still subsist.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 2.15.11.prnegetur iudicatum esse

    The perfect passive infinitive iudicatum esse (that a judgment was rendered) serves as the subject of the subjunctive present passive verb negetur (it is denied), forming an impersonal construction.

  2. 2.15.11.pran iudicatum sit

    An indirect question clause containing the perfect passive subjunctive iudicatum sit, which depends on the passive infinitive ignorari (to be unknown).
