Ulpian argues that if a ward is defrauded by a third party with the collusion of their tutor, they cannot bring an action for fraud as long as the action of guardianship is available, but if the tutor is insolvent, the action for fraud should be granted.
[ULPIANUS libro undecimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS libro undecimo ad edictum.]
Ideoque si quis pupillus a Titio, tutore auctore conludente,1 circumscriptus sit, non debere eum de dolo actionem aduersus Titium habere, cum habeat tutelae actionem, per quam consequatur quod sua intersit.2 plane si tutor soluendo3 non sit, dicendum erit de dolo actionem dari ei.
And therefore, if any ward has been defrauded by Titius, with his tutor colluding and authorizing the transaction, he ought not to have an action for fraud against Titius, since he has the action of guardianship, through which he may obtain his interest. Clearly, if the tutor is not solvent, it must be said that the action for fraud is given to him.
- 4.3.5.prtutore auctore conludente
An ablative absolute with the noun tutore (tutor) as the subject. The noun auctore acts appositively as 'authorizer/approver', and the present participle conludente means 'colluding', meaning 'with the tutor colluding and giving authority'.
- 4.3.5.prquod sua intersit
The construction of the impersonal verb interest. The word sua is historically derived from the feminine ablative singular of the possessive pronoun, meaning 'for him (the ward)'. The relative pronoun quod serves as the subject, meaning 'what is his interest' or 'what is of concern to him' (legally, the indemnity or interest).
- 4.3.5.prsoluendo
The dative form of the gerund solvere (to pay). The idiom soluendo esse (literally 'to be for paying') is a legal Latin expression meaning 'to be solvent'. Here, combined with the negative non, it means 'not to be solvent' or 'to be insolvent'.
