Explains the principle that an agreement to arbitrate does not give rise to a plea in defense, but rather to a claim for the penalty.
[ULPIANUS libro quarto ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS in his fourth book on the Edict.]
Ex compromisso placet1 exceptionem non nasci, sed poenae petitionem.2
It is accepted that from an agreement to arbitrate no objection arises, but rather a claim for the penalty.
- 4.8.2.prplacet
Impersonal verb. Here meaning "it is accepted / held as a rule of law", governing the accusative and infinitive construction (A.c.I.) with exceptionem and petitionem as subjects.
- 4.8.2.prexceptionem non nasci, sed poenae petitionem
Accusative and infinitive (A.c.I.) construction. The infinitive nasci is understood after sed with poenae petitionem as its subject. This illustrates the Roman law principle that an agreement to arbitrate does not directly block a subsequent lawsuit via an objection (exceptio), but instead gives rise to a claim for the agreed penalty (poena).
