This section rules that even if a minor under twenty-five obtains restitution against his tutor in a guardianship action, the tutor does not automatically obtain restitution of his counter-action.
[CELSUS libro secundo digestorum.]
[CELSUS in the second book of the Digests.]
Cum minor quam quinque et uiginti annis aduersus eum, cum quo tutelae egit,1 restituitur, non ideo tutori contrarium tutelae iudicium2 restituendum est.
When a minor under twenty-five years of age is restored against the person with whom he has brought an action of guardianship, the counter-action of guardianship ought not on that account to be restored to the tutor.
- 4.4.28.prtutelae egit
The verb egit (perfect of agere) is construed with the genitive tutelae to mean 'brought an action of guardianship.' This is a genitive specifying the type of action (or an elliptical expression for tutelae iudicio agere), standard in legal terminology.
- 4.4.28.prcontrarium tutelae iudicium
Refers to the 'counter-action of guardianship,' which the tutor brings against the ward to claim compensation for expenses incurred or losses suffered during the administration of the guardianship. It stands in contrast to the direct action (tutelae iudicium directum) brought by the ward.
