It provides that if a person dies while being held by the enemy, both the direct and contrary actions for business management are available to and against his successor.
[ULPIANUS libro decimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book ten]
Sin autem apud hostes constitutus1 decessit, et successori et aduersus successorem eius negotiorum gestorum directa et contraria competit.2
But if, while in the hands of the enemy, he died, both to his successor and against his successor, the direct and contrary action for business management is available.
- 3.5.19.prapud hostes constitutus
The perfect passive participle constitutus modifies the party mentioned in the previous section, functioning here as a circumstantial/temporal participle expressing "while being held or established in the hands of the enemy."
- 3.5.19.prdirecta et contraria competit
The adjectives directa and contraria modify the omitted feminine singular noun actio (action), serving as the subject. The verb competit is singular either because the two actions are understood individually, or due to agreement by proximity with the nearest subject.
