This section states the legal rule that if deadly enmity arises after appointing a procurator, they are not compelled to undertake the trial, and the stipulation for an undefended case is not forfeited.
[PAULUS libro octauo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in the eighth book on the Edict.]
Si post datum procuratorem1 capitales inimicitiae intercesserunt, non cogendum2 accipere iudicium nec stipulationem ob rem non defensam committi,3 quoniam noua causa sit.4
If deadly enmity has arisen after the appointment of a procurator, he should not be compelled to accept the trial, nor should the stipulation on account of an undefended case be forfeited, since a new cause has arisen.
- 3.3.14.prpost datum procuratorem
The preposition post is followed by a noun and a perfect participle (datum procuratorem), expressing the event "after the appointment of a procurator" (a structure equivalent to the ab urbe condita construction).
- 3.3.14.prnon cogendum
The gerundive cogendum is used impersonally or as part of an accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction with an omitted subject accusative (procuratorem or eum), meaning "(the procurator) ought not to be compelled."
- 3.3.14.prstipulationem ob rem non defensam committi
An A.C.I. construction with stipulationem as the subject accusative and committi as the infinitive. committi means that the condition of a legal promise (stipulatio) is fulfilled, thereby becoming "forfeited" or "binding." ob rem non defensam means "on account of the case not being defended" (noun rem + perfect participle defensam).
- 3.3.14.prquoniam noua causa sit
The subjunctive sit indicates that this is not merely a statement of objective fact, but rather the ground of the decision as presented by Paulus (oblique clause or subjunctive of reported reason).
