This section regulates the agent's obligation to accept a trial if the principal dies before the joinder of issue depending on the agent's knowledge, and the scope of appointment and double security in partition actions.
[ULPIANUS libro octauo ad edictum.]
[ULPIAN, in the eighth book on the Edict.]
Si defunctus sit dominus ante litem contestatam, iudicatum solui stipulatione pro suo procuratore data, procurator compellendus est ad iudicium accipiendum: ita tamen si hoc dominus sciente procuratore et non contradicente1 fecit. quod si aliter actum est, inscium quidem procuratorem teneri2 satis inciuile est, committitur autem ob rem non defensam stipulationis clausula.
If the principal dies before the joinder of issue, after security for payment of the judgment has been given on behalf of his agent, the agent must be compelled to accept the trial: provided, however, that the principal did this with the knowledge of the agent and without his objecting. But if it was done otherwise, it is indeed quite inequitable for the ignorant agent to be bound, but the clause of the stipulation is forfeited on account of an undefended case.
Qui ad communi diuidundo iudicium datus est, ad agendum item et ad defendendum uidebitur datus duplici cautela interponenda.3
He who has been appointed for an action to divide common property will be deemed to have been appointed both to sue and likewise to defend, with a double security having to be provided.
