Paulus' opinion that the transfer of a lawsuit from a procurator should be restricted unless the principal is ready to pay him.
[PAULUS libro octauo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in the eighth book on the Edict.]
nisi dominus ei soluere paratus sit.1
unless the principal is ready to pay him.
- 3.3.26.prnisi dominus ei soluere paratus sit
This clause functions as a conditional clause limiting the preceding statement of Ulpian (at the end of Dig. 3.3.25.pr, "the lawsuit must not easily be transferred from him"). The nisi clause with the present subjunctive paratus sit expresses an exceptional condition: "unless the principal is prepared to pay the procurator" (i.e., the expenses or debts for which the procurator claims the right of retention).
