It explains why, when a plaintiff leaves several heirs and only one of them brings an action, the entire matter is not automatically brought into court.
[CELSUS libro uicensimo septimo digestorum.]
[CELSUS, in the twenty-seventh book of the Digests.]
Si petitor plures heredes reliquerit unusque eorum iudicio egerit, non erit uerum totam rem quae in priore iudicio fuerit deductam esse:1 nec enim quisquam alienam actionem in iudicium inuito coherede2 perducere potest.
If a plaintiff has left several heirs, and one of them has brought an action, it will not be true that the entire matter which was involved in the prior trial has been brought into court; for no one can bring another’s action into court against the will of his co-heir.
