Presents Julian's view that if a litigant appoints the judge as their heir, another judge must be appointed to avoid the injustice of someone judging their own case.
[IDEM libro uicensimo secundo ad edictum.]
[THE SAME, in the twenty-second book on the Edict.]
Iulianus ait, si alter ex litigatoribus iudicem solum heredem uel ex parte fecerit,1 alius iudex necessario sumendus est, quia iniquum est aliquem suae rei iudicem fieri.2
Julian says that if one of the litigants should make the judge his sole heir or heir to a part, another judge must of necessity be selected, because it is unjust for anyone to become the judge of his own case.
- 5.1.17.prfecerit
Perfect subjunctive (or future perfect indicative) active of the verb facere. It forms a double accusative construction with iudicem as the direct object and solum heredem uel ex parte as the object complement. The phrase ex parte means 'for a share' of the inheritance.
- 5.1.17.praliquem suae rei iudicem fieri
An accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) clause serving as the subject of the impersonal expression iniquum est. aliquem is the subject accusative of fieri, and iudicem is the predicate accusative after the copulative infinitive fieri. suae rei is an objective genitive dependent on iudicem.
