Rules are established regarding execution on a judgment and recourse against co-heirs when a procurator becomes the principal's heir after condemnation, alongside rules on appointing multiple procurators.
[ULPIANUS libro nono ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, in the ninth book on the Edict.]
Si quis, cum procuratorio nomine1 condemnatus esset, heres extiterit domino litis: iudicati actionem non recte recusabit. hoc si ex asse.2 sin autem ex parte heres extiterit et totum soluerit, si quidem ei mandatum est hoc quoque ut soluat, mandati actionem aduersus coheredes habebit: si non sit mandatum, negotiorum gestorum actio datur. quod est et si heres procurator non exstiterit et soluerit.
If anyone, having been condemned in the name of a procurator, should become heir to the principal of the lawsuit, he will not rightly refuse the action on the judgment. This is so if he is the heir to the whole estate. But if he should become heir in part and has paid the whole, then, if indeed it was mandated to him to pay this as well, he will have an action of mandate against his co-heirs; if it was not mandated, an action on conducting business is given. This is also the case if the procurator has not become heir and yet has paid.
Unius litis plurium personarum plures dari procuratores non est prohibitum.
It is not prohibited that for a single lawsuit of several persons, several procurators are appointed.
Iulianus ait eum, qui dedit diuersis temporibus procuratores duos, posteriorem dando priorem prohibuisse uideri.
Julian says that he who has appointed two procurators at different times is deemed, by appointing the later one, to have forbidden the former.
- 3.3.31.prprocuratorio nomine
Under the formulary system, the procurator becomes the party to the lawsuit, and therefore the condemnation (condemnatio) in the judgment is issued in the name of the procurator, not the principal. This is expressed by 'in the name of a procurator'.
- 3.3.31.prex asse
In Roman law, the 'as' represents the whole unit (12/12), and therefore ex asse heres means a sole heir (heir to the entire estate). In contrast, the subsequent ex parte means a partial heir (one of the co-heirs).
