Paulus points out that the office of the judge in actions of good faith has the same force as an express agreement made in a stipulation.
[PAULUS libro nono ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, on the Edict, book nine]
Quia tantundem in bonae fidei iudiciis officium iudicis ualet, quantum1 in stipulatione nominatim eius rei facta interrogatio.2
For the office of the judge in actions of good faith has just as much force as an inquiry specifically made concerning that matter in a stipulation.
- 3.5.6.prtantundem ... ualet, quantum
A comparative structure of "tantundem ... ualet, quantum ... [ualet]", where the verb ualet is omitted in the second clause. It indicates that the legal force of what is agreed upon by an express oral question (interrogatio) in a strict-law stipulation (stipulatio) is equivalent to what a judge can take into account by virtue of his office (officium) in a good faith action (bonae fidei iudicium).
- 3.5.6.prnominatim eius rei facta interrogatio
Meaning "an inquiry made specifically concerning that matter." It refers to the express oral question asked between parties to establish specific or collateral obligations (such as interest) in a stipulation (stipulatio).
