Iavolenus explains that the penalty under a submission to arbitration is only incurred for failures regarding payments or services, and that when the arbitrator extends the term, the delay of one party allows the other to claim the penalty.
[IAUOLENUS libro undecimo ex Cassio.]
[IAUOLENUS in his eleventh book on Cassius.]
Non ex omnibus causis, ex quibus arbitri paritum sententiae non est,1 poena ex compromisso committitur, sed ex his dumtaxat, quae ad solutionem pecuniae aut operam praebendam pertinent. idem. contumaciam litigatoris arbiter punire poterit pecuniam eum aduersario dare iubendo:2 quo in numero3 haberi non oportet, si testium nomina ex sententia arbitri exhibita non sunt.
The penalty under a submission to arbitration is not incurred on all grounds on which the award of the arbitrator was not complied with, but only on those which relate to the payment of money or the performance of services. The same. The arbitrator will be able to punish the contumacy of a litigant by ordering him to pay money to his opponent; under which head it is not proper to include the case where the names of witnesses are not produced in accordance with the award of the arbitrator.
Cum arbiter diem compromissi proferri iussit, cum hoc ei permissum est, alterius mora alteri ad poenam committendam4 prodest.
When the arbitrator has ordered the date of the submission to arbitration to be extended, provided that this was permitted to him, the delay of one party is of benefit to the other for the purpose of incurring the penalty.
